Practical overview

When it fits

Use BTDEX when you want a desktop client for Signum-based exchange activity and its related wallet, plotting or mining tools, or when you need the documented local market-data endpoints.

Who it is for

  • Signum users looking for a desktop interface to exchange supported assets.
  • Users seeking a client that combines exchange activity with wallet, plotting and mining tools.
  • Developers who want to build the client from source or use its documented local market-data API.

Documented uses

  • Trade supported SIGNA pairs and Signum-based tokens through the desktop exchange.
  • Use a Signum wallet and access plotting and mining functionality in the same application.
  • Retrieve local summary, ticker, order-book and trade data through the documented API.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository documents Windows x64, Debian-based Linux and macOS release packages, as well as a general JAR option. Running the JAR requires Java 8 or 11; opening a browser when necessary requires xdg-utils. Source builds require Java 8. The project states that it is licensed under GPL-3.0.

  • The exchange method runs on Signum and uses BlockTalk smart contracts and on-chain encrypted messages.
  • The README lists SIGNA trading pairs and says Signum-based tokens can be listed and traded.
  • The local API is enabled through config.properties and documents summary, ticker, order-book and trades endpoints.
  • The project brings exchange, wallet, plotting and mining functions into one desktop application.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
