Zero trading fees

No maker fee, no taker fee, no cut of your position. You pay Solana's network fee, a fraction of a cent — and nothing to us.

Withdrawals require your signature, enforced on-chain. A strategy places the orders your rules describe and nothing else — it cannot withdraw, and it never holds your funds.

THE STRATEGY ENGINE

Five strategies. One engine.
Trade like the desks do.

Most perp DEXes give you a buy button and a sell button. That's not how professional desks operate. They define entry rules, exit conditions, position sizing, and risk caps before they trade — then let the rules run.

Thorix gives you the same toolkit on-chain. Build your strategy, set your parameters, deploy on TLI or single-asset perps. The engine handles execution while you focus on the next setup.

THE INSTRUMENT

Trade strategies on the index, not just single tokens.

The Thorix Lightning Index (TLI) tracks BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and BNB as a single tradeable instrument, weighted by square-root market cap. Deploy any of the five strategies on TLI to express a view on the entire crypto majors tape in one position — without managing five separate trades.

Single-asset perps (BTC, ETH, SOL) also available — same strategy engine, your choice of market.

THE THESIS

The index has won.
Crypto hasn't caught up yet.

Sixty-nine percent of S&P 500 options volume is now 0DTE index contracts — 2.3 million per day on Cboe. Global ETF assets crossed $21.91 trillion in early 2026. US passive funds surpassed active for the first time in history.

The migration to index instruments and rules-based trading already happened in TradFi. Crypto traders still pick single tokens and click buy/sell manually. Thorix exists to give them both — the index and the discipline.

WHY THORIX

The only Solana perp venue built around the index.

Drift, Jupiter Perps, Pacifica, and Flash Trade are all built around single-asset perpetuals — BTC, ETH, SOL, one ticker at a time. Thorix is the first venue on Solana built around index trading as the primary instrument, with automated strategies and trigger orders layered on top.

QUESTIONS

FAQ

What makes Thorix different from other places to trade?

Most perp exchanges hand you a buy button and a sell button and leave the discipline to you. Thorix is built around strategies: you define the entry conditions, sizing, leverage and exits up front, and the engine runs them on-chain. You also get markets you can't trade elsewhere on Solana — including the Thorix Lightning Index, a single perp on a basket of majors — and you keep custody of your funds the whole time.

How do I get started on Thorix?

Connect a Solana wallet, deposit USDC as collateral, and pick a market. From there you can trade manually or deploy a strategy and let it run. Thorix is currently live on devnet, so you can fund a wallet from the built-in faucet and try the whole flow without risking real money.

What can I trade?

The Thorix Lightning Index (TLI) — a perp on a weighted basket of majors — plus single-asset perps on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and BNB, the SPX equity index, and commodities (gold, silver, oil). Every market works with both manual orders and the strategy engine.

Is the transaction fee free for buying perps on Thorix?

Yes. Thorix charges 0% trading fees — no maker fee, no taker fee, no cut of your position. You still pay Solana's own network fee, which is a fraction of a cent per transaction, and a fee applies if a position gets liquidated. But on the trade itself, Thorix takes nothing.

What makes Thorix more cost-efficient than other perpetual platforms?

Two things. First, the 0% trading fee — most perp venues charge taker and maker fees on every fill, and many add borrow or funding-spread costs on top. Second, Thorix runs a real on-chain order book rather than pricing you against a pool, so you trade at the book price instead of paying a spread markup. Settlement runs on Solana, so the base-layer cost stays in fractions of a cent.

Is Thorix a bot service?

No. Thorix is a non-custodial exchange, and the strategy engine is part of the protocol rather than a service bolted on top. Your rules are stored on-chain in the strategy program and enforced there. A keeper process watches the market and triggers your strategy when your conditions are met, but it is only a trigger — it cannot decide anything your rules didn't already authorize, and it never holds your funds.

Do I give a bot access to my funds when I use a strategy?

No. You never share a private key, and your collateral stays in an account that only your wallet controls — withdrawals require your signature, enforced on-chain. When a strategy fires, orders are placed through a program-derived authority tied to your own wallet, and the program rejects any attempt to act on a strategy you don't own. The keeper can place the orders your rules describe and nothing else: it cannot withdraw, cannot change your parameters, and cannot trade outside them. You can deactivate a strategy at any time.

What exactly is the TEMPEST strategy?

It's a set of trading rules, the same kind of thing as the RSI, EMA, MACD, DCA and support-resistance strategies you can already build on Thorix. It reads market data, waits for its conditions, and places orders through the same on-chain strategy engine every other strategy uses. The only difference is that the specific logic — what it measures and what thresholds it acts on — is ours and stays private. Everything around it works identically to the open strategies: you set your size, leverage, and risk limits, you can see every order it places, and you can switch it off whenever you want.

Why keep the TEMPEST logic private when the other strategies are open?

The open strategies are standard, publicly documented indicators — there's nothing to protect, and being able to inspect them is part of the point. TEMPEST is our own work, and a rule set that anyone can read is a rule set anyone can trade against. Keeping it private is what keeps it useful. It's the only part we hold back: the execution path, the fees, your custody, and the orders it places are all as visible as any other strategy on Thorix.

Which markets does TEMPEST work on?

Its rules aren't tied to any one asset, so it runs on every market Thorix lists: crypto (the Thorix Lightning Index, BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP), the SPX equity index, and commodities (gold, silver, oil). Any market we add later, it works on too. Different markets behave differently, so you should set size and risk limits per market rather than assuming one configuration fits all of them.

Has TEMPEST been tested?

Yes — it has been running in live testing for three weeks on Solana devnet, executing through the same programs and the same keeper path that a real deployment uses. Devnet testing proves the strategy runs, triggers, and settles correctly end to end. What it cannot prove is how the rules perform against real capital and real liquidity, because devnet has neither. We'd rather tell you that plainly than dress up a test result as a track record.

Is Thorix live on mainnet?

Not yet — Thorix is live on Solana devnet today, where the full system runs end to end. Mainnet follows further testing.
