what's RateX Protocol?
RateX Protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain, specializing in leveraged yield trading. It enables users to trade yield-bearing assets with leverage similar to perpetual futures contracts, allowing exposure to larger positions relative to deposited margin. The platform standardizes yield-bearing tokens, supports synthetic assets, fixed yield earning, and liquidity provision, facilitating capital-efficient strategies in DeFi. Key features include leveraged positions on assets like xSOL and stablecoins, integration with real-world assets (RWAs) for reinsurance yields, and points-based incentives for trading and liquidity mining. RateX emphasizes secure, high-efficiency yield experiences, with mechanisms for borrowing and lending to amplify returns on passive income sources.
RateX Protocol launched a new USD* market on January 9, 2026.
