# Mettalex

> Mettalex is a peer-to-peer, AI agent-powered decentralized exchange (DEX) for secure trading of tokenized digital assets, including spot, options, and futures, across multiple blockchains. It removes liquidity pools, eliminates slippage, and enables users to trade with full custody of assets.

Mettalex eliminates reliance on centralized intermediaries and pooled liquidity by using autonomous trading agents that reside in users’ wallets.  
These agents negotiate directly, match orders across chains, and execute trades while the user retains full custody of assets.  
The platform is built to support cross-chain interoperability, allowing the exchange of any tokenized asset—commodities, crypto tokens, derivatives—across EVM and non-EVM chains.
