# Trading Features (Leverage, Live Markets)

**Multi-Asset Trading: Crypto & Stocks**

The JEFE DEX supports two major asset classes, all tradable as perpetual contracts with leverage.

* Crypto Perpetuals: Major pairs like BTC/USD, ETH/USD, and SONIC/USD, plus a curated selection of high-volume altcoins. Leverage up to 10x with isolated margin to protect positions.
* Tokenized Stocks: Perpetual contracts on leading equities (e.g., AAPL, TSLA, NVDA) and ETFs, settled in crypto collateral. These markets operate 24/7, breaking free from traditional market hours. Stock perps are priced via decentralized oracles aggregating multiple feeds, ensuring fair and manipulation-resistant pricing.

All markets are fully collateralized on-chain. Traders retain custody of their funds in smart contract escrows, with no intermediary risk.

**Layer 1 & Layer 2 Deployment**

To deliver institutional-grade performance, the JEFE DEX leverages a hybrid infrastructure:

* Sonic Layer 1: All settlement, position management, and liquidity provisioning occur on Sonic’s high-throughput L1. With 10,000+ TPS and sub-second finality, the L1 ensures instant trade execution and immutable record-keeping.
* Layer 2 Execution Engine: For ultra-low-latency order matching, the DEX utilizes a dedicated L2 rollup. Orders are matched off-chain with cryptographic proofs posted to L1, reducing gas costs and enabling high-frequency trading. The L2 inherits Sonic’s security guarantees, so users never sacrifice decentralization for speed.

This hybrid design allows the JEFE DEX to scale to thousands of concurrent traders while maintaining the security and transparency of a fully on-chain protocol.

**Integration with AI Agents**

The DEX is natively integrated with the JEFE AI Agents. Traders can:

* Overlay AI-generated signals directly onto the trading interface.
* Set conditional orders triggered by AI probability thresholds (e.g., “Open long if AI confidence > 70%”).
* Delegate trade execution to the AI within user-defined risk parameters (Level 3 autonomy).

The AI also monitors DEX activity to refine its models, creating a feedback loop where trading data improves intelligence, and intelligence improves trading outcomes.
