Polkadex is a peer-to-peer order-book based exchange for Web3 built on Substrate that aims to combine the safe and non-custodial format typical of DEXs, with the advanced trading features and accessible and user-friendly structure customary of CEXs. Winning the 16th Polkadot parachain slot was an important goal for Polkadex, enabling it to become interoperable with other Polkadot parachain projects all while sharing the security of the Polkadot blockchain.
By obtaining a parachain slot, Polkadex moves much closer to fulfilling its mission of becoming the trading engine for DeFi and Web3. The Polkadex parachain will enable Polkadex Orderbook and Polkadex’s whole slate of products to support Polkadot-native assets from all other parachains, and give the Polkadot ecosystem access to its first cross-chain, non-custodial order book-based exchange with high-frequency trading.
“Thanks to the Polkadex parachain we will be able to bridge assets with the Dotsama ecosystem and now users will be able to trade Polkadot ecosystem tokens from across the whole spectrum of parachains,” said Polkadex COO Deepansh Singh. “This is a first for Polkadot and a first for DeFi as a whole.”
Polkadex’s crowdloan campaign for the batch 3 of the parachain auctions offered strong incentives for its community members. By establishing an auction cap of 1 million DOT tokens with a rewards pool of 2 million PDEX (10% of the total supply), contributors were guaranteed at least 2 PDEX tokens for each DOT token they contributed to the campaign.
PDEX, Polkadex’s native utility token, provides substantial utility; allowing holders to receive discounts on transaction and trading fees, participate in on-chain governance and take part in PolkaIDO investment rounds. In addition, PDEX holders can stake their tokens to become network validators, helping to secure the Polkadex Network in exchange for rewards. Alternatively, PDEX holders can also nominate validators and collators to earn a share of their rewards. They also have the option to stake PDEX in Thea Protocol and earn additional rewards for enabling deposits and withdrawals on Polkadex Orderbook.
As well as the PDEX incentives, Polkadex will give the top 1,000 Crowdloan contributors an exclusive utility-based NFT that will enable discounted trading fees on the Polkadex Orderbook once it goes live on Polkadex.
Throughout the Crowdloan campaign, Polkadex partnered with a number of Polkadot DeFi platforms, including Parallel Finance and Equilibrium, and centralized exchanges like KuCoin and Kraken, in order to give its community more opportunities to participate and more rewards for doing so.
“We’re extremely proud of the way the Polkadex community led the charge during the Crowdloan campaign, especially during the week of the auction,” said Dagmara Handzlik, Head of Marketing at Polkadex. “Polkadex is proof of how important a strong community is to the overall success of a project and we could not be more excited to deliver the products we have been building with the eager support of Polkadexers.”

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System
The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.
Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.
“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”
ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
