QFEX

1/ Today we’re excited to announce our $9.5M seed round, led by Yuri Sagalov (@yuris) of General Catalyst alongside Paul Graham (@paulg), @ycombinator , and a group of incredible partners and angels.

We are pleased to announce that our integration with @LorisTools is now complete. Traders will now have the ability to access QFEX volume, OI and funding data, and compare this across the perps landscape!

Tl;dr starting yesterday, QFEX will not require document ID verification for its ordinary retail users. QFEX users have already been notified via email and Discord. While we are all celebrating this as a MASSIVE UX improvement, the real reasons run deeper than that. People don't talk about compliance because it's not sexy. Everyone has a moral duty to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. At QFEX, we take this duty seriously. Long run, dexes whose main business model is facilitating crime will be shut down and their exec team sent to prison. Our commitment to compliance is the reason why we are able to attract the market makers and liquidity that we do. For years, document KYC has been the standard method of enforcing compliance policies. In the age of AI, it has become painfully obvious to us (see the below video) that the bad guys will always be one step ahead of the compliance software providers. Like most illicit businesses, the economics are just in their favour. A couple of months ago, we began looking for alternatives. I'm delighted to announce the integration of a new, powerful AI-based tool that, for the first time, integrates user data across browser sessions, blockchain history and trade history across QFEX and all perp dexes to build a complete user profile and enforce compliance policies. This mogs document KYC and allows us to rest in peace knowing that our users are genuine, without knowing their passport details. How markets should be.

'Why don't you list crypto?' Errr... we only list up-only assets...

Today, we list $IREN and $NBIS to go along with $CRWV in our AI infrastructure collection. The only venue in the world for perps on these symbols. 10x leverage, 24/7. qfex.com/trade

$100m daily volume on @QFEX for the first time today, led by $SNDK, $CIEN, $AVGO and $AXTI . Reminder: you're still early. qfex.com/trade

We are delighted to be the first exchange to offer perps on photonics stocks! $AAOI is already one of our most actively traded products, with $AXTI not far behind. QFEX continues to expand the product set in which it is the primary venue for off-hours and weekend liquidity.

We are hiring an ex-HFT quant to work directly on markets- and (AI) research-related work at QFEX. This role is perfect for those who are thinking of making the switch from quant to startups. Your noncompete won't apply. You'll work alongside a team of like-minded individuals on the same journey - we come from Citadel, Jump Trading, Tower Research Capital, Jane Street and Optiver, and are backed by top tier VCs including Y Combinator and General Catalyst. Comment below if you are interested. I will reply to every single comment, even if it is a straight no, with any kind of feedback you want.

We are aware of certain individuals claiming to offer a tokens affiliated to QFEX. Some of these tokens are on popular aggregator sites like CoinMarketCap, and some bear the QFEX logo eg dex.coinmarketcap.com/token/bsc/0x88… QFEX has not promised, pre-sold or issued any token. Any updates regarding a token will first be posted on this account.

Quantum computing vs photonics computing What is computing? A model that works well is (i) represent some information in a physical system, (ii) manipulate that system, and (iii) read the state of the resultant system. Computation is therefore governed by the type of physics it is using under the hood. Classical computers use classical systems like transistors, which are governed by equations discovered centuries ago by the likes of Newton, Lagrange and Hamilton. Quantum physics has an extra 'trick' called entanglement which enables a different type of parallelization. It's this feature which enables things like breaking RSA encryption via Shor's algorithm. But 'quantumizing' transistors into entangling qubits is tricky; useful hardware is many years away. An exciting middle ground involves relaxing the idea of making a direct transistor analogue and using interfering systems of light waves to do computation instead ('photonics computing'). This approach is beginning to show promising speedups on important computational tasks, like the matrix multiplications which are pivotal to AI inference. How to get exposure? Before light can compute, it has to be generated, modulated, transmitted, routed, amplified, received and packaged. There are already a whole host of photonics companies that have specialized in this area for a long time, in other industry, and the hardware is well developed. Today, we list them on @QFEX: $LITE (Lumentum Holdings) $COHR (Coherent Corp.) $GLW (Corning Inc.) $CIEN (Ciena Corp.) $AAOI (Applied Optoelectronics) $AXTI (AXT Inc.) qfex.com/trade/LITE-USD
