Dexicon is not a company or a website. It's an open protocol: software anyone can run to trade MINIMA and MxUSD directly with everyone else who runs it, powered by the Minima network. Pure peer to peer: zero fees, no middlemen, and no one taking a commission on your trades.
That book is real and it's live. This page has no server of its own: your browser reads the fast orders straight from the network, just as every Dexicon client does. Inside a client, pool liquidity fills in the rest of the ladder.
Each order was placed by someone's own Minima node and is backed by coins in their wallet. Nobody holds them in between.
Orders carry the maker's signature. Your browser checked each one just now. Whoever passes an order along can't change it.
Take an order and both sides sign a single Minima transaction. It settles on chain, wallet to wallet.
Dexicon joins three open protocols on Minima: cross-chain swaps to bring dollars in, liquidity pools anyone can earn from, and an exchange where the two meet. The Dexicon client for Android speaks all three. Anyone is free to build another.
Bring dollars in. The AtomiX atomic-swap protocol: swap USDT on Ethereum for MxUSD or MINIMA, peer to peer, across two chains.
Add liquidity and earn, or swap. The PandaPools protocol: anyone can put MINIMA and MxUSD into their own pool and earn 0.5% on every swap that passes through it.
Trade on the book. The Dexicon order protocol: fast off-chain limit orders and every pool's liquidity in one ladder, so there is always a market.
AtomiX swaps USDT on Ethereum for MxUSD or MINIMA on Minima, directly with another person. No bridge, no exchange and no wrapped token in between: each side's coins wait in a time-locked contract on its own chain until both sides can be paid.
Both locks open with the same secret. The moment it's used to claim on one chain, it's public, and the other side can claim with it on the other.
Each lock has a deadline. If anyone stops halfway, the deadlines pass and every coin goes back to where it came from. Nobody can end up with both sides.
Anyone can make a market: publish a price for USDT to MxUSD or USDT to MINIMA, and your node completes the swaps it accepts on its own. Or agree a trade privately, over the counter.
Your Ethereum wallet comes with your node. The client derives it from your Minima node, so there is nothing extra to set up. Only the Ethereum side pays gas, to Ethereum.
If you know Uniswap, you know the idea: add liquidity to a pool, and earn a share of every swap it makes. PandaPools does it on Minima's UTXO chain, where every pool belongs to the person who funded it, and the 0.5% goes straight to them.
A pool is a MINIMA coin and an MxUSD coin, locked under a contract that only lets them trade along the curve. They stay at your address, under your key. There is no shared vault holding everyone's money.
Every pool is owned by one person. A swap is split across all of them at once, best price first, in a single transaction that either completes fully or not at all.
Put MINIMA and MxUSD into your own pool and every swap through it pays you 0.5%. The yield accrues inside your pool, so it grows as people trade. No LP tokens, no protocol cut, and you can add more or take it all back whenever you choose.
| Uniswap | PandaPools | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the money sits | One shared contract per pair, holding every provider's deposit | Your own pool, at your own address, under your own key |
| Providing liquidity | Deposit into the shared pool, receive LP tokens | Fund your own pool, keep the coins at your address |
| What liquidity earns | A share of the pool's swap fees, through your LP tokens | 0.5% of every swap through your pool, paid to you, with no cut taken |
| How a swap is filled | Against the pair's shared pool | Split across every individual pool, peer to peer, in one atomic transaction |
| What a swap costs to settle | Ethereum gas, every time | Nothing. Minima has no transaction fees |
| Who runs it | Ethereum validators, reached through websites and providers | The users' own Minima nodes |
| The chain underneath | Account-based smart contracts | UTXO coins, each carrying its own contract |
Start earning in the Pools room: create a pool, choose how much MINIMA and MxUSD to add, and back it up. Your node keeps the pool online, and every swap through it pays you directly. Add more or withdraw at any time.
Off-chain where speed matters, on-chain where trust matters. Fast limit orders move peer to peer in milliseconds, every pool adds its liquidity to the same ladder, and money only ever moves on chain.
Signed off chain, shared across the network instantly, and settled wallet to wallet in one Minima block. Placing or cancelling an order costs nothing.
Every pool is quoted as orders at every price along its curve. As long as a single pool exists, there is always something to trade against.
Fast orders, on-chain orders and pool liquidity sit side by side, each level showing where its depth comes from. A take fills from whichever source is best.
Pick a price and an amount. Your client writes an order and signs it with a trading key kept on your device, separate from your wallet's keys. The order names the exact coins in your wallet that back it.
Nothing leaves your wallet. An order is a promise, not a deposit.
The book is quiet right now. When an order arrives, its signed text appears here.
Your order spreads across a federated network of nodes, powered by Minima and Maxima and run by the people who use them. Each node checks the signature and passes the order on unchanged. Orders and sealed messages travel this way; funds never do.
Anyone running a Parlons node takes part. No single node is special, and nodes can come and go while trading carries on.
A buyer takes your order. Their client builds one Minima transaction: their coins to you, your coins to them. They sign their half and send it to you in a sealed message only your node can open.
Your client checks the transaction against your order: right price, right amount, nothing else touched. Then it adds your signature. It runs in the background, even with the screen off.
The finished transaction goes to the Minima network and settles in one block. Your order republishes with whatever is left.
Alongside the fast orders, the same ladder carries liquidity that lives entirely on chain: resting on-chain orders and every PandaPools pool.
Cross-chain swaps, pools anyone can earn from, and a fast order book, joined into one exchange that nobody runs. Dexicon is truly peer to peer, from the first dollar in to the last trade out.
No company, no server, no single point of control. The protocol runs on its users' own nodes, and keeps running as long as anyone does.
You never have to trust the person on the other side. Contracts and signatures make sure both sides are paid, or neither is. Every step can be checked.
No account, no sign-up, no approval. Anyone can trade, make a market, add liquidity, run a node or build a client from the open specification.
Open to anyone, anywhere, with an Android phone or tablet and an internet connection. No borders, no region locks, no gatekeepers.
Zero fees to any middleman. The protocol, the network and the order book charge nothing, and no third party takes a cut of any trade.

Anyone can earn the 0.5%. Add liquidity to a pool and every swap through it pays you directly. Supporting the market is the only way anyone earns from Dexicon, and it's open to every user. How PandaPools works
A protocol can only be run by its users if the network underneath can be too. Minima is a blockchain designed so that every participant runs a complete node, even on a phone or tablet.
Your device validates the chain itself. No servers to trust for your balance.
Moving coins costs nothing, so a trade costs nothing to settle.
Minima signs with hash-based one-time keys, built for the long term.
Pools, on-chain orders and swaps are scripts on coins, readable by anyone.
A dollar token on Minima. The MxUSD room trades it against USDT on Ethereum.
Wallets, private chat, files and dozens of apps run on the same node. Explore the network at eurobuddha.com.
There is no Dexicon server. Orders travel between the nodes of the people using the protocol, over Minima and its Maxima messaging layer, and every trade settles on the Minima chain.
Anyone running a Parlons node takes part in carrying the network. No single node is required, and no one owns it.
Every guide is real: each screenshot is from the Dexicon client, taken during a live trade on the Minima network. Pick what you want to do.

To use the protocol you need your own Minima node and a Dexicon client. Today's client runs on Android phones and tablets. If you're new, give yourself half an hour, a charged device and Wi-Fi for the first sync.
A Bear is a Minima node and wallet for an Android phone or tablet. It's your account on the protocol. Android 9 or newer.
On Pandamonium? It already has AtomiX and PandaPools built in. Use those or Dexicon on the same wallet, not both.
Install it from a store that checks every download, or straight from its release.
Open your Bear, go to Apps, enable Dexicon and give it Admin. The client can't do anything on your node until you do.
Open Dexicon. It starts in the MxUSD room, so you can bring dollars in first, or go straight to the Exchange if you already hold MINIMA or MxUSD.
Already use AtomiX or PandaPools? Dexicon walks you through handing over. It checks nothing is in flight before anything is removed.
