1024EX is a high-performance on-chain perpetual market built on 1024Chain—where algorithmic, quantitative, and AI-driven strategies execute natively with efficient, deterministic settlement.

The 1024 ecosystem is composed of four core products:

1024Chain: The high-performance Layer 1, natively designed for AI and quantitative workloads, powering the 1024 ecosystem.
1024Quant : The AI-native, open quant layer for building, ranking, and deploying trading strategies.
1024Square : The social layer for discovering and sharing on-chain quant ideas.
Prediction Market : The native on-chain market for trading probabilities on future outcomes.

Mission: create an open financial network powered entirely by algorithms and AI agents.

Compliance-by-design architecture

Zero custody, zero private-key storage, zero account control.

1024EX is designed with non-custodial principles: it does not hold user funds, store private keys, or manage accounts. User assets remain fully within their own wallets. There is no deposit step—assets can cross-chain to 1024Chain USDC while still remaining under user control. All matching, clearing, and settlement are executed on-chain, fully transparent and publicly auditable. The platform does not engage in market-making or proprietary trading. Comparison to traditional CEX/DEX models: conventional exchanges often act as both trading platform and market maker, effectively serving as both referee and player. In contrast, 1024EX operates solely at the blockchain and tool layer, achieving a truly non-custodial, non-market-making, and neutral referee structure, ensuring fairness and transparency.

Multi-asset contract design

The platform supports not only crypto perpetual contracts, but also a broad range of mainstream financial derivatives, including:

a. Equities and stock index futures
- NASDAQ, S&P 500, Nikkei, etc.
b. Energy futures
- crude oil, natural gas, etc.
c. Forex futures
- EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, etc.
d. Interest rates futures
- SOFR and other rate contracts.
e. Custom strategy indices (User-Defined)
- “Trump Twitter Panic Index”, etc.
f. Prediction markets contracts
- Event contracts on macro, policy, AI benchmarks, elections, etc.
- Custom prediction contracts

Ultimately, this leads to an integrated ecosystem of AI, finance, and event-driven markets.
