Our verdict on QX
5.0/10QX suits users already active on the Qubic network who want to trade Qubic assets from their own wallet. Its main strength is that it is the native smart-contract exchange for that ecosystem. The main caveats are very low TVL of around $50,000, no listed audits and little published detail on fees. Treat it as a small, experimental venue and only risk amounts you can afford to lose.

What is QX?
QX is a decentralized exchange that runs as a smart contract on the Qubic network. Its homepage describes it as a place to trade assets on Qubic.
DefiLlama lists it in the DEX category on the Qubic chain, tracked since 27 March 2025. TVL is about $49,666, with a 7-day change of +27.9%. No audits or native token are listed.
Its homepage gives little detail. Most of what is known about features comes from search snippets, which mention order tracking, liquidity pool staking and asset management. This review therefore stays at a high level.
How QX works
QX is a decentralized exchange implemented as a smart contract on the Qubic network. Instead of a company holding funds, the contract logic handles trades between users.
Search snippets point to an order-based model, where users place and track orders for Qubic assets. They also mention liquidity pool staking and managing balances, shares and NFTs. Exact matching rules and reward mechanics are not public.
A DEX like this lets users trade from their own wallets, so they keep control of their assets until a trade settles. The tradeoff is that users carry smart-contract risk.

Key features
01
Smart-contract exchange

Pros and cons
What we like
- Runs as a smart contract on Qubic, so users trade from their own wallets
- Official site and DefiLlama listing exist, making it identifiable
- Covers order tracking, liquidity pool staking and asset management according to Qubic posts
- Third-party interfaces such as QXBoard add charts and swapping
- 7-day TVL change of +27.9% suggests growing activity from a small base
Watch out for
- Very small TVL of about $49,666, so liquidity is thin and prices may move on small trades
- No audits are listed on DefiLlama
- Only available on the Qubic network, which is far less established than major chains
- Homepage is minimal, so fees, order types and documentation are hard to verify from public sources
- No governance or project token is listed, so the economic model is unclear
- Short track record, listed since March 2025
QX fees
Trading fees for QX are not published. DefiLlama also does not list fee or revenue figures in the data we have.
Users should check the QX interface and Qubic documentation for fee details before trading. Network transfer costs on Qubic may apply, but the project does not describe them.
Is QX safe?
DefiLlama lists no audits for QX. Since it is a smart contract, users face contract risk, and with TVL under $50,000 liquidity is shallow. No incidents are mentioned publicly, but the absence of audit data is a caution.
QX is a non-custodial style DEX, so users hold their own keys. Verify the official address before connecting a wallet, as imitation sites are a common risk. Nothing addresses regulatory status.

Who QX is for
