CTEX Chain Documentation

Welcome to the CTEX Chain documentation site!

Please note that both the CTEX Chain software and this documentation site will improve over time and is still a work-in-progress.
Be sure to engage with our community channels to stay updated.

Have fun trading and see you on chain!

What is CTEX Chain?

CTEX Chain is an innovative solution to bring programmability and interoperability to CTEX Chain. CTEX Chain relies on a system of PoA consensus that can support short block time and lower fees. The most bonded validator candidates of staking will become validators and produce blocks. The double-sign detection and other slashing logic guarantee security, stability, and chain finality.

Please read the FAQ to get started.

What can I do with CTEX Chain?

The purpose of the new blockchain and DEX is to create an alternative marketplace for issuing and exchanging digital assets in a decentralized manner.

You can:

  • Send and receive CTEX
  • Issue new tokens to digitalize assets, and use CTEX Chain as underlying exchange/transfer network for the assets

For developers, you can also:

  • Run a full node to listen to and broadcast live updates on transactions, blocks, and consensus activities

CTEX Chain, TC boasts smart contract functionality and compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The design goal here was to leave the high throughput of CTEX Chain intact while introducing smart contracts into its ecosystem.

Because TC is EVM-compatible, it launched with support for the rich universe of Ethereum tools and DApps. In theory, this makes it easy for developers to port their projects over from Ethereum. For users, it means that applications like MetaMask can be easily configured to work with TC. Seriously – it’s just a matter of tweaking a couple of settings. Check out Use MetaMask for CTEX Chain to get started.

You can:

  • Send and receive CTEX
  • Explore the transaction history and blocks on the chain, via CTEXSCAN, API and node RPC interfaces.

Developers can also:

  • Issue new tokens to digitalize assets
  • Run a full node to listen to and broadcast live updates on transactions, blocks, and consensus activities
  • Develop wallets and tools to help users use Dapps

Get Started

Want to try it CTEX Chain? Just give a peek at the first few of pages of the getting started guide.
You could also have a read through the FAQ.

Want to develop on CTEX Chain? First, read through the FAQ and learn about tokens here.

Asset Management

CTEX20 Asset

A token protocol on TC which is compatible with CTEX20. It extends CTEX20 and contains more interfaces, such as getOwner and decimals. Read the full proposal here: https://github.com/ctexchain

CTEX(and Other Coins) MainNet Switch

CTEXCoin (CTEX) was an CTEX20 token on the Ethereum network.
After the launch of CTEX Chain, CTEXCoin (CTEX) is being converted into native CTEXtokens on the main network via the exchange platform at ctexscan.com, a pragmatic and efficient way to perform the initial token swap.

CTEX Chain is ready for other projects to migrate their tokens to take advantage of performant transactions with more liquidity options and native marketplace features.
More information about how projects can set themselves up for this (via ctexscan.com or partners) will come soon.
