Ouinex is a crypto and derivatives trading platform built on a simple principle: the more the community takes part, the more everyone benefits. Activity across the platform lowers spot fees for every user, and your own participation adds benefits on top. At the centre of that cycle is the native token, $OUIX.
Learn how you are rewarded when you trade with Ouinex.
Key Takeaways
- Ouinex is a centralised exchange (CEX) with multi-asset access: spot crypto, crypto perpetuals, and TradFi derivatives on forex, commodities, stocks and indices.
- Beyond the exchange, Ouinex offers a Launchpad, SocialFi and Earn.
- Ouinex runs on a community model: the more everyone trades and stakes, the higher the OUIX Index, which lowers spot fees for all users.
- Each trader also has an OUIX Power score, built by trading and by staking $OUIX. The higher it is, the higher your level and the more benefits it unlocks.
- SocialFi adds NEX Points for derivatives trading, daily activity, social tasks and referrals. NEX Points are promotional reward points with no monetary value; how they convert to tokens is announced when each season’s claim opens.
The 2-Minute Sum Up
What Ouinex Is: The Ecosystem
Ouinex is a multi-asset centralised exchange (CEX) that offers spot crypto, crypto perpetuals and traditional finance (TradFi) derivatives: stocks, stock indices, commodities and forex.
In addition, Ouinex has a Launchpad (access to new token sales), SocialFi (NEX Points for trading, tasks and referrals) and Earn (yield on deposited assets, with current rates shown in the product).
Ouinex also has its own native token at the heart of the ecosystem: $OUIX.
How You Benefit From the Ecosystem
Beyond providing a bridge between TradFi and crypto markets, Ouinex is designed to reward the community as the platform grows. It measures the collective health of the ecosystem and passes the benefit back to users through lower fees.
Ouinex uses two scores.
One measures your personal contribution to the platform: OUIX Power. The higher it gets, the higher your level, the lower your spot fees and the more benefits you unlock.
The other measures everyone’s contribution to the platform: the OUIX Index. The higher it gets, the lower everyone’s spot trading fees.
Community rewards don’t stop there. Through SocialFi you collect NEX Points for derivatives trading, daily streaks and drops, social tasks and referrals. NEX Points are promotional reward points with no monetary value; how they convert to tokens is announced when each season’s claim opens.
In short, we reward you for just about anything you do that improves the health of the Ouinex platform.
Many loyalty schemes reward only large trading volume. On Ouinex, smaller traders benefit too: from the OUIX Index and from SocialFi.
The Ouinex Ecosystem in More Depth
Let’s dig a bit deeper into the Ouinex ecosystem and our community trading model.
Understanding Ouinex
Ouinex is a centralised exchange (CEX) with multi-asset access. You can trade:
- Spot crypto
- Crypto perpetuals (with leverage)
- TradFi derivatives: commodities, stocks, indices, and Forex (with leverage)
There is zero commission on forex, stock indices and commodities: you pay the spread and nothing else. Crypto perpetuals are 0.045% and stock derivatives 0.3%, as listed on the Ouinex fees page. You can use crypto as collateral.
Ouinex also offers:
- A native token: $OUIX
- Earn: yield on deposited assets, with current rates shown in the product. Our guide to using Earn on Ouinex walks through it.
- Launchpad: access to new token sales, with eligibility set by $OUIX and OUIX Power
- SocialFi: NEX Points for trading, tasks and referrals. See how to use SocialFi on Ouinex.
What makes Ouinex different is that the ecosystem is not limited to crypto-only or TradFi-only activity. Nor does it stop at being an exchange: it offers Earn, a Launchpad and SocialFi built in.
Community Trading
We want to reward our community when they choose to use our services, or they share their experience with friends and family on social media, or through referrals. That’s why we established the OUIXIndex and the OUIXPower, as well as a built-in SocialFi feature.
Ouinex doesn’t only reward you when you trade and stake more, but when everyone does. That is what the OUIX Index is for: activity across the platform lowers spot fees for every user.
SocialFi works the same way. NEX Points go to derivatives trading, daily streaks, social tasks and referrals, so regular participation counts, not only size.
OUIX Power
You have your own OUIX Power, which measures your personal contribution to Ouinex. Levels run from 0 to 5. Your level depends on how much you trade, and on how much $OUIX you stake and for how long.
The higher your OUIX Power, the better your:
- Spot trading fees
- Earn boost: from 10% at Level 1 to 70% at Level 5
- Derivatives cashback: from $1 per million traded at Level 1 to $11 per million at Level 5
- Launchpad eligibility: higher levels can receive larger allocations and earlier access to a sale
The fastest way to raise your OUIX Power is to buy and stake $OUIX; trading builds it gradually without a purchase.
OUIX Index
The OUIX Index is a direct reflection of the ecosystem’s health: it reflects overall platform activity, trading volume and the health of the $OUIX token.
A higher OUIX Index widens the Community Spot Fees Discount, a reduction on spot fees for every user, whatever their level. Understanding the OUIX Index goes deeper.
- Lower Trading Fees: Your spot fees drop
- Yield Boosts: Higher APY on Ouinex Earn pools.
How it works: base spot fees at Level 0 start at 0.18%. The community discount set by the Index lowers what every user pays, and your own level lowers it further. The OUIX page shows the current Index and the rate you pay.
The idea behind the OUIXIndex is to give back to our community. When we thrive, you thrive.
SocialFi
SocialFi runs in seasons. In Season 1, a weekly NEX Points pool is shared among traders in proportion to their derivatives volume (spot volume does not count), and the pool grows as platform volume grows.
You also collect NEX Points from:
- Daily trading streaks and the Daily Mystery Drop
- Social and ecosystem tasks, such as following Ouinex on its social channels
- Referrals: 10% of what the friends you refer generate is added to your total, without being taken from theirs
- 2x NEX Happy Hour windows, when traded volume counts double
NEX Points are promotional reward points with no monetary value; how they convert to tokens is announced when each season’s claim opens. The SocialFi Season 1 guide has the full rules.
To claim, you need a minimum deposit of $10, and the minimum withdrawal is $10; this helps keep bots out.
$OUIX: The Ouinex Native Token
At the heart of the Ouinex ecosystem is our native token, $OUIX.
$OUIX is an ERC-20 token with a total supply of 200,000,000. It has no VC or institutional holders: it was designed for retail users.
Its role is utility: fee reductions, derivatives cashback, Earn boosts, Launchpad eligibility and the Buy & Burn protocol, which uses platform activity to remove OUIX from supply. None of this is a promise about its price. Our guide to the OUIX token explains each part.
