what's MNX?

MNX is a decentralized exchange specializing in AI-related financial markets, enabling leveraged trading of assets across the AI value chain. It offers perpetuals, futures, and prediction markets for company valuations like OpenAI and Anthropic, AI benchmarks from sources such as Epoch AI, compute and GPU prices, and equity perpetuals on stocks including Nvidia, TSMC, and ASML. Built on the MegaEth blockchain for high throughput (100k+ trades per second), it features a unified liquidity pool for tight spreads, batch auctions every 200ms to mitigate HFT advantages, and levered prediction markets. The protocol emphasizes institutional-grade infrastructure for hedging large AI training runs and speculating on AI progress, treating crypto settlement as an efficient implementation detail. Founded by the creators of Manifold Markets, MNX aims to provide comprehensive financial primitives for the AI economy, from hyperscaler compute costs to public markets on private AI firms.
