About PAX Markets
PAX is a new crypto CEX that delivers more 饾浖 with its in-silicon exchange and HFT technology. The PAX exchange integrated on-chip 位 API provides deterministic nanosecond tick-to-trade latency. HFT 位 traders experience non-adverse counterparty selection by pairing with free-tier traders who access PAX using our zero-cost & always rebated legacy API. Using our patented technology, PAX is building a new generation of exchange co-lo facilities that unite HFT with exchange and monetizing by vertically integrating exchange and platform technology as one.
