EDX Markets

EDX Markets is an institutional cryptocurrency exchange that operates the world's only centrally cleared crypto trading venue, combining deep liquidity, transparent markets, low trading costs and ultra-low-latency matching-engine technology. It runs a spot exchange (EDX Markets), a perpetual-futures exchange (EDXM International, based in Singapore), a central clearinghouse with daily net settlement and bankruptcy-remote member accounts (EDXM Global), and a white-label crypto-as-a-service platform (EDX FlowConnect). Connectivity for members is delivered over the FIX protocol — FIX 5.0 SP2 order entry and drop copy plus FIX and binary (SBE) market data, transported over mutually authenticated TLS — rather than a public REST/OpenAPI. EDX is backed by institutional partners and was surfaced through the pantera-capital portfolio.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles EDX Markets the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — EDX Markets scores 35.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 24/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile EDX Markets

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for EDX Markets. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
