Finxelis Exchange adopts a distributed, microservice-based technical architecture to ensure the platform's high performance, high availability, high scalability and high security.
Finxelis Exchange adopts a distributed, microservice-based technical architecture to ensure the platform's high performance, high availability, high scalability and high security.
At the heart of Finxelis Exchange lies its proprietary high-performance matching engine, leveraging in-memory processing to store order books, trade records, and execution data, minimizing disk I/O for maximum speed. It employs asynchronous serialization using the Disruptor high-performance queue to eliminate data contention and lock overhead, while its distributed cluster architecture enables horizontal scaling to dynamically adjust nodes based on trading volume. The engine utilizes price-time priority matching algorithms to ensure fairness and efficiency, with real-time market data delivered via WebSocket, supporting both full and incremental updates. Performance metrics include a throughput of over 1 million transactions per second and an average order processing latency of less than 1 millisecond, making it a robust and scalable solution for high-frequency trading.
Finxelis Exchange implements a multi-layered security architecture to safeguard user assets and data comprehensively. It employs a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to defend against SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF attacks, alongside DDoS protection services, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and regular vulnerability scans to mitigate threats. Data security is ensured through AES-256 encryption for sensitive information, SSL/TLS for secure communication, regular backups, and data anonymization to protect privacy. Account security features include 2FA, anti-phishing codes, device management, IP whitelisting, and withdrawal limits. For fund security, 98% of assets are stored in offline cold wallets with multi-signature and HSM protection, while hot wallets are secured with multi-signature controls, risk monitoring, and regular audits. Internal security measures include strict access controls, operation logging, and employee security training, ensuring a robust defense against both external and internal threats.
Finxelis Exchange offers comprehensive REST and WebSocket APIs to facilitate programmatic trading, bot development, and market data access. The REST API supports account and asset queries, order placement/cancellation, trade history, and more, with authentication via API keys and HMAC signatures, alongside rate limiting to prevent abuse. The WebSocket API delivers real-time market data (e.g., K-lines, order book depth, trades) and trading event updates (e.g., order status changes, trade executions). Detailed API documentation, including interface descriptions, parameters, return values, error codes, and sample code, is provided, alongside SDKs for multiple programming languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, C++), enabling seamless integration for developers.
