List of DEX Crypto Exchanges
The number of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) is increasing and now, we have DEXs not just for trading Ethereum tokens but also for virtually any other type of crypto and token. We now also have DEXs built on top of other blockchain networks such as Waves, NXT e.t.c that are similar to Ethereum as well, and the number of DEXs won't stop increasing as more and more ICOs are slated to happen, even as development on other blockchain platforms yet to host a single DEX paves the way for more DEXs.
We have such advantages as low peer-to-peer transactions, instant swapping of tokens, and improved security, atomic swaps, but cross-chain transacting feature will still be among the hot features to watch for now and in future for present and upcoming DEXs.
We have compiled a detailed list of the different decentralized exchanges, placing them in different categories, i.e. those that support ERC20 tokens only; those that support all other types of tokens and crypto (including on platforms such as NEO, NXT, Waves etc); those DEXs platforms under development; upcoming ICOs in the area of DEXs; and closed DEXs.
You can let us know, in the comment section or via email, of any, especially the working DEXs or those under development, that we have missed out so far on this list and we will add it in.
Working DEXs - ERC20 Only
AirSwap DEX
AirSwap DEX exchange allows users to instantly swap/buy and sell ERC-20 tokens by simply setting the amount desired to sell, getting a price and making a trade after connecting wallets. It also allows one to build storefronts, marketplaces, and auctions on its DEX network and thus one is able to construct business models on the blockchain.
For traders, there are no order books or front-running. Makers, who are liquid providers, offer the bid price that they want to exchange their assets for and anyone can be a liquid provider by signaling with a signaling amount of 100 AST and locking this amount entitles you to signal 10 trades. Takers are able to discover bids through information from AirSwap Oracle, AirSwap Indexer, or via Ethereum smart contract.
Users are able to connect their MetaMask or Ledger wallets with the exchange. It does not provide coin listing but users can find a counterparty for trading a variety of assets. A person can indicate the amount of gas he or she wants to spend on the network and the fee is collected by miners to confirm transaction. The amount of gas affects the time the trade lasts before approval or confirmation with speed increasing with the amount of gas paid.
Blockonix
Blockonix rebranded from Bitindia and allows users to trade cryptocurrency at 0.1% flat transaction fee for all trades in addition to gas fees to put their transactions on the blockchain, with all fees paid in ETH. A flat discount of 70% is offered on fees paid in BDT tokens. The platform uses 100% of transaction fees paid in ETH to buy back BDT from holders. Fee charged to list new tokens and 100% transaction fee paid in BDT are burned, creating token scarcity. Listing on the exchange will cost around 3000 BDT, an equivalent of around 10 ETH.
DDEX
DDEX is a cryptocurrency exchange that offers the trading of ERC-tokens against ETH, without need to register an account but just by connecting a MetaMask wallet to the exchange. The decentralized exchange utilizes the Ox protocol, which uses WETH token. In other words, a user will first need to wrap ETH into an ERC20 standard WETH and safely trade ETH without a third party having to hold their Ethereum. They can then trade EOS, 0x, Tron, BAT, OmiseGo and many other less popular altcoins against WETH.
One disadvantage is that a user cannot trade his tokens against non-ETH crypto such as Bitcoin, Ripple, Litecoin, Monero, or any other non-Ethereum-based token. Another one is that it does not support fiat exchange against crypto and tokens thus a user -- especially a beginner in crypto -- may need to buy the token elsewhere with fiat.
The exchange, like most others, registers low liquidity for some token pairs in addition to the fact that not all the token pairs are supported. It also does not offer margin and leverage trading like some DEXs and centralized exchanges.
The DEX does not charge for deposits and withdrawals but the user only pays a small gas fees for miners who power the flow of transactions on the network. Users are able to view an estimated amount of fees for any order hosted on the platform. The trading fee is also very low at only 0.01% per trade and therefore comparably low to many other crypto exchanges.
DEx.top Exchange
DEx.top is a decentralized exchange based on the Ethereum network and facilitating exchanging of ERC20 tokens. The exchange utilizes a double-ledger architecture that employs off-chain ledger instant order matching and trading while the Ethereum blockchain is utilized for transfer of funds between two parties who are trading via smart contracts.
A user will need to have a MetaMask wallet in order to use this DEX and transfer the funds. The current maker fee rate is 0.1% while the taker fee rate is 0.2%, both of which may change in future. Users also pay fee to deposit ETH or ERC20 tokens in the platform, which fee is between 0.001 ETH and 0.002 ETH.
The user's deposit goes directly to the smart contracts and the orders are signed by the owner's private key. The smart contracts carries out the order and makes sure that it is executed correctly or expires correctly as set.
ERCDex
ERCDex is also a peer-to-peer trading platform mostly for ERC20 tokens and allows users to directly transact from their wallets without need to create an account with the platform.
It currently supports more than 51 tokens that can be traded against WETH and DAI altcoins and is compatible with most wallets in the market including Cipher, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet or Dapp Browser on mobile, and from Parity, MetaMask, Trezor or Ledger on Desktop. They have recently done an upgrade to allow for free canceling of trade and to make trade collisions and front running impossible.
The last year upgrade also included integration of TradingView charts, a a streamlined order creation process, customization capabilities for the market list, and much more. Maker does not pay any fee while taker fee is 20 bps, or 0.2% of the taker volume. The taker fees is collected in the quote currency only.
Etherdelta
Etherdelta decentralized trading platform allows users to trade Ethereum-based tokens directly with each other. Founded in 2017 by Zack Coburn, the platform uses smart contracts are are able to manage deposits, trading, and withdrawals once a user integrates a personal wallet with the site. It became a to-go-to platform for most of tokens especially those launched soon after ICOs since many were listed there before listing on more mainstream exchanges. It also integrates with Meta Mask account and Ledger Nano S wallets.
Although it recorded as high as $10m in daily trading volumes, change in management and increase in competing sites has seen the volume go lower.
Everbloom
Everbloom is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange that went live in the summer of 2018 and facilitates trading of Ethereum and ERC20 tokens via smart contracts. In addition to the many tokens supported, it also supports the Gemini dollar (GUSD) stable coin.
Once a user posts an order, it is listed on the off-chain order book that includes asks (token on sale for ETH) and bids. Users can create buy and sell limit orders onto the order book. Open orders are those that are placed on the order book using the limit order panel. As would be expected, trade settlement and deposits are done through smart contracts.
They also plan on supporting the 0x Protocol in addition to the EtherDelta smart contract. This will be in order to provide a comprehensive set of Ethereum and ERC20 token liquidity.
In addition to its’ trading features, it provides charting features, depth charts, and trade history for all transactions.
The platform also provides, in addition to the Web App, an API, and support for MetaMask (and other upcoming wallets) from 3rd parties that can connect to the exchange.
ForkDelta
Forkdelta was forked from EtherDelta with a ton of improvements including a faster order processing system. The DEX still uses EtherDelta's original smart contract but has a revamped API. Users can deposit tokens into the exchange but one cannot send tokens directly to the smart contract.
The platform also uses a new token listing system, order book, and front-end UI. ForkDelta charges two types of trading fees, first being the small Ethereum fee spent on signing transactions to the Ethereum network and the second being a 0.3% fee on the execution of orders.
ForkDelta offers many ERC20 tokens for trading and continues to add more. Users are able to link their wallets either using Ledger or MeterMask or importing a user account straight to the site. Once a user funds the smart contract, they are ready to place or take an order.
They can also create a buy or sell order by entering the amount intended to buy or sell, the price target and the expiration time. They are prompted to sign the transaction, and the order is placed on the order book. The system then works to find the taker for the order and then the smart contract completes the transaction. the platform also uses a new token listing system, order book, and front-endUI. ForkDelta charges two types of trading fees, first being the small Ethereum fee spent on signing transactions to the Ethereum network and the second being a 0.3% fee on the execution of orders.
IDEX
IDEX is an Ethereum-based DEX launched in 2012 and is part of the Aurora project, a collection of Ethereum applications and protocols that make up a decentralized banking and finance platform. Launched by Republic of Panama-Aurora Labs S.A. and a group of crypto enthusiasts, it offers Ethereum and ERC20 token trading pairs. It offers Ledger Nano S and Meta Mask Wallet integration, especially for fund management.
The exchange raised 5411.38 ETH on January 11, 2018, and 12 months afterward, had generated over $10m worth of daily trading and
It uses smart contracts to facilitate transactions between users and it updates account balances and order books in real time. This happens while it manages the flow of transactions of network transactions to reduce friction.
IDEX charges 0.1% fee for market makers and 0.2% for takers who also add gas fees for a transaction which is usually higher than the 0.2% taker fees.
The off-chain structure manages the trading experience and smart contract controls the funds, trade authorization, and final settlement. It provides users with the ability to do limit and market orders, gas-free cancels and the ability to fill many trades at once.
Paradex
Paradex also lets users buy and sell ERC20 tokens directly from their wallets without having to sign up for an account. It currently offers a handful of trading pairs including one against DAI stablecoin. The platform utilizes the 0X smart contract protocol and users can connect their wallets through MetaMask or Ledger. Users get to trade tokens for WETH at a cost of 0.15% per trade, which is cheaper compared to even many decentralized exchanges. However, traders also pay miner fees.
The problems for this exchange still remains the same as for those exchanges unable to support ERC20 based tokens like Bitcoin, Ripple, Litecoin, Bitcoin cash, Monero, and others. This is in addition to the fact that the exchange does not list all the token or support all token pairs. It also does not support fiat exchange for tokens, which is another major set back compared to some popular exchanges.
RadarRelay
RadarRelay employs the 0x protocol and off-chain order matching and on-chain settlement criteria to let users trade ERC-20 tokens against WETH - or the wrapped version of ETH. A smart contract is used to transfer digital assets directly between, and this can be done without the need for registering an account with the service -- you get to simply connect your external wallet to the service and can transact as you wish.
It is possible to connect wallet via Ledger hardware wallet and the browser-based MetaMask wallet. The exchange also offers support for Mist. As a relayer, it compiles order books from cryptographic messages about people intending to trade or those providing liquidity. A liquid provider can place a limit order to buy a quantity of one asset for a specific bid price or place a limit order to sell a given crypto quantity for a specified quantity of another.
A liquid taker then goes straight to the order book and agrees to trade under conditions specified by the maker. The OX smart contract then settles the order on the blockchain.
The exchange is currently already operational facilitating transacting many assets including 0x, BAT, OmiseGo, Augur, Maker, Dai, Zilliqa and many other less popular ones. This happens at low cost. There are no fees except the gas fees charged for wrapping and unwrapping ETH, filling an existing order ("taker"), canceling an order, and sending coins to or from your wallet.
It does not support fiat currencies thus anyone starting out with cryptocurrencies will need to first use a different exchange to directly buy crypto with fiat.
Secure Swap
Secure Swap is a DEX that hopes to bring speed, liquidity and leverage trading. However, it will combine advantages of centralized and decentralized exchanges for purposes of raising liquidity of the platform while ensuring peer-to-peer transactions to deliver benefits of decentralization.
It sources liquidity from arbitrage system via its arbitrage system. It will deliver the benefits of high liquidity, speed of execution, no need of trusted third parties, resistance to hacking, resistance to prohibitions and regulations against cryptocurrencies.
The Secure Swap platform itself is open-source and decentralized without a central server. The platform will allow the addition of cryptocurrency support, fiat exchange support and payment systems integration (cash-in/cash-out), and liquidity provider support. It will include nodes that will support the ecosystem and owners of the node will be able to earn some income. The new generation exchange will offer graphic orders, money management, scalping assistance, programmable automatic trading module, etc.
The country is based in Chile, platform based in Ethereum. The project pre-ICO is currently on-going from January 1 and will be concluded at the end of this month.
CryptoDerivatives.Market
CryptoDerivatives.Market is an on-block trustless, peer-to-peer Ethereum token exchange with low trading fees. It lets users trade, deposit and withdraw tokens with trades being executed directly from the user's wallet without needing to deposit into the exchange.
It does not charge fees except the users paying Ethereum network transaction fees.
Working DEXs - All Cryptos
Altcoin.io
Altcoin.io, a plasma-based sidechain DEX, is a marketplace for selling and buying altcoins "with transparency, trust, and honesty.” The platform provides an atomic swap wallet. When a user places a trade, the trade is transmitted through the network to find a person willing to trade by that offer. Once found, the trade is executed in a minute thanks to atomic swap feature, which was released in early 2018.
It also features social trading area that allows traders to copy trades for a fee, share and view trading stats, and help new traders to learn from the best.
The main selling point is cross-chain atomic swaps on the platform, which allows users to send ETH payments that are paid in Bitcoins to the recipient, without the sender needing to first convert ETH to BTC. The platform completed the first Ethereum-to-bitcoin atomic swap, transferring 0.12345 ETH for 0.12345 BTC.
Traders are also able to customize by adding features on the trading engine exterior in order to change the UX/UI.
Via SDKs, developers or traders can also incorporate trading protocols such as bots into the DEX or wallet to automate or develop the tech as they wish.
Developers are also able to lock Ether tokens in an Ethereum smart contract that specifies the funds will be sent if an equal amount is sent to a Bitcoin address during a specific time window. Thus, they are able to develop dApps that allow Eth to Bitcoin payments.
Further, the platform utilizes Plasma State channels for off-chain networks that run parallel to the blockchain as a scaling solution. Plasma sidechain DEX deposit and withdrawals were enabled last year.
It will also be provided as an Exchange-as-a-Service (EaaS) solution for other exchanges, meaning users can still use the exchange on others. Thus the white labeling of their exchange technology to other exchanges.
Bancor
Bancor works like a decentralized exchange in that it allows users to buy and sell tokens, but with completely different mechanics. Instead of using counterparty, every transaction is executed via a smart contract. It means there is no need to match a party's wants against another's demand: a single party can trade directly through the token’s smart contract.
Tokens are always readily available for purchase regardless of the trade volume and thus there is continuous liquidity unlike in the case of a centralized exchange where liquidity depends on the availability of buyer and seller at the time of a transaction.
The platform uses the algorithmic price calculation-based Bancor Formula to calculate token prices and to ensure that the price for selling and that of buying tokens is the same. Thus there is no spread where the buying may otherwise be different from selling price on some exchanges.
Unlike in other exchanges where price slippage (difference between the expected price before a transaction is executed and the actual price at which it is executed) is difficult to know because of usage of order books and because order book lists are dynamic, the price slippage for every transaction on Bancor is known ahead of time because there are no order books.
The platform also allows conversion of assets in a cross-chain or betweenblockchains without having to transfer crypto from one blockchain wallet to a different blockchain wallet. It is currently supporting Ethereum and EOS platforms. That too happens without any deposits, no order-matching between buyers and sellers, and no counter-party risk.
A user issuing tokens can also make them instantly convertible for all the users using any decentralized wallet, to ETH, EOS and 100+ other tokens. Developers can also build dApps supporting cross-chain conversions into any blockchain application.
Bisq.Network
Bisq.Network, formerly known as Bitsquare, is a working peer-to-peer (over Tor) decentralized exchanges between users running Bisq on their own machines. It serves as a decentralized bitcoin-to-fiat exchange which means it supports fiat exchange unlike most DEXes. Fiat can still be transferred from one user to another. Users have to deposit a security deposit that is returned to them after transaction is done.
It supports many popular payment method including bank transfers, cash deposit, AliPay, Advanced Cash, Chase QuickPay, Western Union, WeChat Pay, Perfect Money, MoneyGram and many others. For those inquiring of trading fees, it is 0.1% of the trade amount, and offer takers pay 0.3% of the trade amount. The minimum in both cases is 0.00005 BTC to avoid dust limits. Maker and taker have to pay mining fees.
Changelly
Changelly was established in 2016 by the same team that established MinerGate, and has attracted over 1 million customers to its exchange. Changelly has more than 700,000 customers on-board and processes over 50,000 BTC monthly.
Unlike some crypto exchanges that allow only for crypto-to-crypto exchange and conversion, the exchange offers the option of exchanging US Dollar or Euro fiat for crypto via MasterCard and VISA. Some limits apply for fiat exchanges depending on the country of location. The crypto service provides exchange for over80 different cryptocurrencies with support for BTC, LTC and other crypto.
Changelly charges 0.5% per trade with instant exchanges not generally providing the most of attractive rates although speed is their biggest selling point. The crypto DEX uses a bidding system where its platform asks respective exchanges it integrates with (including Poloniex, Bittrex and other major cryptocurrency trading platforms) to suggest rates on trading pairs. The bot then displays and suggests the best rate for the user.
By setting the amount you want to trade or exchange and setting the type of cryptocurrency you need, you are able to know the fee and the amount of crypto you will finally receive.
CryptoBridge
Now supporting the trading of over 220 coins, the CryptoBridge DEX allows users to trade at a flat trading fee of 0.20%, therefore without differentiating takers and makers. For stakers, the DEX has staking, a feature that allows everyone who locks his or her coins on the platform (by locking BridgeCoin(BCO)) to receive 50% of the trading profits on CryptoBridge.
The DEX utilizes graphene blockchain, which can process up to 100,000 transactions per second and has an average confirmation time of just 3 seconds. The platform operates on the BitShares Network and supports decentralized trading on all popular altcoins pairs.
The exchange also allows staking of BCO token and 50 percent of all trading profits on CryptoBridge going to BridgeCoin stakers. Stakers also receive bi-weekly payouts during the staking period.
So far, CryptoBridge has facilitated exchange of $444,929 USD in trading volume worth of cryptocurrencies and offers more than 220 pairs for trading.
Counterparty DEX
The Counterparty DEX was launched in 2014 and extends functionality by “writing in the margins” of regular Bitcoin transactions. Anyone can use the platform's built-in scripting language to write smart contracts and execute them on the Bitcoin blockchain. Thus it already uses the already popular Bitcoin blockchain.
Users can take advantage of the Lightning Network to perform swift, diverse and off-chain exchange of Counterparty tokens. The platform also allows users to create their own digital tokens that can be exchanged on a peer-to-peer basis. Once a request or buy order is created on the platform, it is matched with orders available to sell in order to settle.
For assets created on the platform and which are XCP-denominated, you create a wallet and write a pass phrase and test on the testnet with fake assets before using real assets. Remember, you can still list these tokens on other exchanges. The platform can still be used for distributions such as paying out dividends in BTC.
The Counterparty Foundation, which is headed by five Counterparty community directors, oversees the development of the counterparty platform and the foundation also facilitates organizational and financial functions.
CryptoBridge Dex
With the CryptoBridge Dex, anyone anyone can save on trading fees by paying trading fees by BCO token for trading other tokens on the exchange. The platform operates on the BitShares Network and supports decentralized trading on all popular altcoins pairs.
The exchange also allows staking of BCO token and 50 percent of all trading profits on CryptoBridge going to BridgeCoin stakers.
CryptoBridge has facilitated exchange of $444,929 USD in trading volume worth of cryptocurrencies and offers more than 220 pairs for trading.
DeltaDex
DeltaDex is also dependent upon the EOS platform and uses smart contract deployed on the EOS mainnet to execute trades from users' wallets. Since it is live on-chain, users do not need to deposit EOS-based tokens to exchange. Trading is almost real-time because of the high speed of EOS blockchain, and there is no need of KYC for users.
All the transactions and order books are hosted on the chain and trading is done with the advantages of blockchain such as high transparency, security and reliability.
Having adopted the modify the Temporary Immutability pattern means that no-one, including the contract owner, has ability to modify the exchange logic or control users' funds manually during the immutable period.
Plus, while other dApps supports EOS price for up to 4 decimal places, this exchange supports up to 8 decimal places and this means a token as cheap as 0.00000001 EOS can be sold and bought on the platform.
DEXEOS
This list sounds good so far with a listing for DEXes on EOS and other platform as well.
DEXEOS is a DEX built on EOS blockchain and uses EOS Smart Contracts and trading tokens issued on the platform is instant. It was actually launched on August of 2018 as the first DEX to begin trading on EOS platform. The international collaboration project between Swedish, Hong Kong (China) and South Korean teams, is now fully functional: the DEX currently has around 27,320 users and manages a 24hr volume of around 98,963 EOS.
It lists tokens such as IQ, OCT, CET, EOSDAC, HORUS, KARMA, EOX, ATD, ADD, MEETONE and EDNA. Users can also stake CPU and NET tokens to earn more. It also supports API-based automatic trading and dApp-based token economy,
Hodl Hodl
Hodl Hodl is a DEX that works similar to LocalBitcoins, and utilizes multi-signature escrow system (multi-signature (P2SH)contracts) that will set a predetermined time for trading for both participants in a trade. You simply fill out a form when placing an order, stating some requirements, including the location, amount to trade, payment window and payment method or type.
The person who wants to buy BTC or LTC on the other end will check out the terms that fits them and fill the order. The charges for trading on the platform is 0.6 percent per trade.
It is much similar to Localbitcoins and the platform Bitquick, therefore, it is much easier to deal with if you are farmiliar with LocalBitcoins. It also does not require people to verify their identities when willing to trade. Like many other BTC DEXes, you are able to deposit fiat money through a variety of methods including Moneygram, Skrill, various credit cards, Venmo, Western Union, Alipay, and many more.
Users are also rated based on their transaction and trading history, so other traders can check out who they would rather trade with based on these ratings.
Currently in beta, the platform allows anyone to trade BTC, and LTC at the moment with more features coming.
IDAX Exchange
IDAX started operating in 2017. It originated from GBC Global Blockchain Research Center and is GBC's platform for blockchain exchange research. The Mongolian National Team, which is a constant financial source for GBC, will also finance GBC with $300 million USD.
The platform has numerous useful features including multi-cryptocurrency, multi-language options and top security engineering that guarantees safe transactions of digital resources. For traders, it currently supports 95 digital currencies and 153 trading pairs. The trading fee is 0.20% for both takers and makers and there are no fees for depositing coins.
Withdrawal fee, like in many other DEXes, vary depending on coins being withdrawn. For instance, BTC withdrawal fee is 0.0001 BTC, ETH 0.01, EOS 1, etc. The exchange, however, does not allow fiat deposits, meaning you can only trade or exchange tokens and you require to buy tokens through a “door exchange” first if you must use this exchange.
It also does not support margin trading for crypto.
LocalBitcoins
LocalBitcoins is the peer-to-peer website platform that allows you to sell and buy Bitcoins only for virtually any fiat and payment method locally, quickly and easily to and from any seller who has an account on the platform.
If you want to sell Bitcoins on the platform, you also sign up and create ads, set terms such as the amount of BTC you are willing to sell, payment methods and other terms, and wait for buyers to buy Bitcoins.
When a buyer clicks to buy your Bitcoins, the amount is sent and held in an escrow and you click to release them to the buyer only when you as the seller confirms having received payment from the buyer.
For buyers, you simply sign up for an account and start searching for deals with favorable terms, and you can pay for the Bitcoins in local currencies, global mobile money, or persistent payment methods such as PayPal, Skrill, Payoneer, MoneyGRam, Venmo from PayPal, Payeer, TransferWise and Western Union or if you want, bank account deposit or via cash in person.
Localcoinswap
Localcoinswap allows traders to buy any crypto on a peer-to-peer basis using fiat and works like LocalBitcoins.com. In fact, it is an exact copy of LocalBitcoins.com, except that it will allow you to trade a little bit more of crypto in addition to Bitcoins: youc an trade ERC-20 tokens, BCH and more than 15 other cryptocurrencies.
Besides, like LocalBitcoins.com or LocalEthereum website, users are able to buy these cryptos and tokens using a variety of payment method as supported in their localities, and without unnecessary verification processes or waiting times.
Users create ads for crypto they want to sell or buy and others can select these trades from a list of them. Anyone willing to deposit fiat can deposit funds to buy crypto of their choice. For a user who is trading crypto, the amount of crypto is released (seller initiates release from escrow) once the fiat payment is confirmed. Users can still withdraw their crypto to a wallet of their choice. That will take around 30 minutes for ETH and ERC20 tokens, and withdrawals of BTC within 2 hours. There is support, and as would be expected arbitration process.
LocalEthereum
For Ethereum lovers and fans, a good route for peer-to-peer buying and selling of Ethereum for fiat is to run to LocalEthereum online service, which works pretty the same as LocalBitcoins service.
You get to post ads stating your terms if selling Ethereum, including setting your preferred payment method and other specification, and these ads are discoverable to users intending to purchase Ethereum for fiat. There are ideally all fiat and payment/deposit options you would be looking for in order to trade your cryptocurrency quickly and easily.
LocalMonero
For Monero lovers, there is the LocalMonero website service that you can use in addition to the ordinary crypto exchanges you are aware of. It works just like LocalBitcoins -- sort of a single cryptocurrency marketplace where you can sign up for an account and trade crypto from and to whoever you wish using a variety of payment methods and fiat options.
You get to choose the payment method, prices and fiat currency in which you want to trade crypto.
LocalMonero is Hong Kong-based and is not a new service as such: it was launched in 2017 and allows you to trade Monero to other people from across the world in over 100 local fiat currencies and with ideally every major payment method.
That means if one payment method does not work in your country, you still get to use a different one or a wire transfer or bank transfer. You can deposit money through these methods and buy Monero and you can also sell Monero and receive fiat in all these payment methods (actually more than 60). Creation of account is quite easy, with no ID or personal details to do or the KYC (Know Your Customer) or AML (Anti-Money Laundering) standards tomeet.
LocalMonero charges 1% fee to a person who creates a buy or sell advertisements for every completed trade, which is higher when compared to some exchanges, but there is no deposit or withdrawal fees. You can also send Monero from the account to other wallets outside of the LocalMonero but there is network transaction fee to incur, which is similar to most of outbound transactions on many platforms.
Newdex.io
Newdex.io, which was also built on the NEO platform, will list all token balances and their worth in EOS and according to the last spot price the token was traded. You trade from your wallet directly without need to register, deposit or withdraw.
It operates on the EOS main chain although matching is carried out off-the-chain and settlement done on-chain. currently has a trading volume of $171,446 worth of tokens traded. There is a trading fee of 0.1% applied although some tokens can still be traded for free and also people can trade airdrops in their wallets.
Currently, you even can kick-off Chinese New Year celebrations by retweeting their tweets to participate in their their Chinese New Year giveaway and be among the 10 who will win NDX, the platform tokens.
NXT
NXT is a DEX based on the NXT blockchain platform and lets a user to issue token assets (tokenized assets are tokens representing a digital asset, physical asset such as precious metals etc, or cryptocurrency ) based on NXT coin and trade these assets in exchange of NXT coin.
The platform can also be used for and in other applications of tokenization such as tokenization of private equities, public equities, bonds, derivatives, commodities, voting rights, vouchers, coupons, copyrights, patents, trademarks, and licenses such as music licenses.

Stellarx DEX
The Stellarx DEX operates on the Stellar blockchain platform and allows to trade a range of assets including cryptocurrencies from multiple blockchains, using stellar lumens (XLM) as the base currency. Thus it operates like a cross-blockchain DEX unlike most of DEXes which are single-blockchain DEXes.
However, although one can trade BCH, BTC, USD, ETH, non-native assets such as ETH are represented as 'tethers.' Thus, anyone buying Bitoin Cash or Ethereum on Stellarx is actually buying a Stellar-issued token that represents that particular crypto.
Tokens are either listed as “fiat tethers”, “crypto tethers” or “native tokens.”
The exchange volume is a bit low, this exchange having facilitated $297,918 USD in exchange volume as at the time of writing.
Shapeshift.io
Shapeshift.io is a Swiss-based crypto DEX that came into operational in 2015 though launched in 2013.

It currently supports trading of Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and 50+ altcoins and more than 400 crypto pairs. The crypto exchange does not require any registration, e-mails or verification and the exchange process is really straightforward in order to facilitate transactions. The exchange offers an almost instant swap for crypto traders, depending on the blockchain network, with smaller transactions not needing any verification.
Due to the lack of order books, there is no price slippage" with ShapeShift, meaning the client get a specific exchange rate updating every 30 seconds for their order and the price will not change based on order size.
Although it does not have a dedicated trading platform in the true sense, traders can place two types of orders: precise and quick, the difference being that precise orders are set at a desired price to execute when a match is available at that rate even if it means waiting, while quick orders are done immediately at the present price.
The DEX also offers a mobile app for Android and iOS that allows for conversion on the go. The platform also offers another mo-bile app known as CoinCap for real time market data, price alerts and, once again, exchange services through ShapeShift integration. Shapeshift does not charge trading or other fees but a 0.5% profit and miner fees, which vary depending on the coin. This results to as high fees as 3 and 10%.
The exchange also does not provide leverage.
