Architecture
GX Chain runs a dual-engine architecture:
-
GXCore — Native Rust execution for all trading operations (orders, matching, settlement, liquidations, funding). No virtual machine overhead. This is what makes GX Exchange fast.
-
GX EVM — Full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM-compatible runtime) for smart contract deployment. Developers can deploy any Solidity contract on GX Chain using standard Ethereum tooling.
Both engines share the same GX BFT consensus (with pipelining), achieving near-instant finality with Byzantine fault tolerance.

- No admin keys — All deployed smart contracts are immutable
- Integer-only arithmetic — No floating point in any financial calculation
