Your step-by-step guide to launching a DEX on Orderly’s shared orderbook in 30 minutes.
Two ways to build your DEX. Choose the speed of a template or the freedom of a custom frontend.
Make a ready-made trading frontend your own. Add your brand, configure the template, and deploy.
Shape the interface and trading flows around your users. Connect your frontend to Orderly with our SDKs.
Both paths start with onboarding on Orderly One and connect to Orderly’s shared orderbook.
Connect a wallet in Orderly One, verify ownership, and provide your Builder name and distributor code if you were referred.
Create Builder profileIf you would like to launch with the no-code solution, choose a white-label template, add your branding, and configure the available frontend options in Orderly One. Skip this step if you’re building your own frontend with the SDKs.
Set up your frontendChoose the trading fee for your DEX. Review the base fees below before setting your rate.
Understand fees and costsPay the one-time $10 setup fee in USDC, USDT, or ORDER, then complete the wallet setup in Orderly One to receive your platform’s earnings. Use your existing wallet, or choose multisig delegation for shared control within your team.
Set up revenueUse the Integration Checklist for user flows, authentication, deposits and withdrawals, order management, and testing. No-code Builders can finish configuring their DEX in Orderly One.
Open the integration checklistWant to test your setup more thoroughly in a test environment? Register separately on Orderly One Testnet. Mainnet and Testnet registrations are separate. Registering on Mainnet does not automatically register your Builder on Testnet.

Custom development and third-party operating costs are separate.
Set your trading fees and earn the difference above Orderly’s base fee. Your revenue depends on your fee margin and the trading volume your platform generates.
At that margin, $1 million in taker trading volume generates $400 in builder revenue, before your operating costs.
ORDER staking is optional. Start at Public, then qualify for lower base fees through monthly aggregate volume or ORDER staked. The higher qualifying tier applies.

Monthly aggregate volume includes the Builder and direct Builder referrals. Daily snapshots determine eligibility.
Distributor or strategic tier assignments act as a floor. A higher tier can still apply after the next daily refresh.
Negative rates are protocol-funded rebate caps when a negative maker fee is passed to the trader. They are not Builder revenue.
