Our verdict on Antarctic Exchange

Antarctic Exchange may interest traders looking for a decentralized perpetual-futures venue, and its documentation identifies topics including pairs, fees, liquidity-provider protection, and AX Points. The main caveat is that the overview gives little detail about how the exchange actually works, its costs, or its safeguards. Treat the product as difficult to assess until you can verify current markets, trading rules, audits, and custody arrangements.
