Overview

Welcome to Axis! These docs provide a brief overview of how the protocol functions with a focus on guiding users. If you’re seeking more technical documentation, start here.

Auctions have a rich history of being used for price discovery in illiquid assets. DeFi has solved many of the pain points for liquid assets, but auctions remain under-developed for on-chain communities. Axis aims to solve that — deploying an auction should be as easy as deploying a liquidity pool.

Axis is the permissionless infrastructure layer that enables developers to build auction-driven applications. These dApps use a combination of various auction and token derivatives modules (i.e. sets of smart contracts) to power specific use cases. Currently, Axis' first application powers next-generation token launches.
