Comdex is a decentralized synthetics protocol built on Cosmos SDK. The mission is to build an ecosystem of interoperable solutions to access financial products and services in the commodities space and achieve its ultimate goal of bridging DeFi and CeFi. Launching their own protocol on the Cosmos ecosystem seemed like the natural first step in realizing their goal.
Comdex Product Suite:
1.) The decentralized Synthetics Exchange of Comdex enables users to collateralize their holdings to take exposure to a range of synthetic assets.
2.) The Enterprise Commodities Trading Platform, brings trust and efficiency to the industry.
3.) ShipFi, a dApp in Comdex’s ecosystem, will facilitate the digitization of trade finance debt products.

Explanation:
Through synthetics, Comdex provides seamless access to global assets and liquidity. A truly permission-less system like this can facilitate the tokenization of real-world assets with fewer hurdles than those in the traditional derivatives markets.
Comdex provides end-to-end commodities trading solutions such as trade discovery, trade settlement, and trade financing. Comdex is keen on building solutions that will bridge the gap between DeFi and CeFi and thereby democratize finance.
It was designed to create more equal opportunities in the DeFi (decentralized finance) space, allowing for greater access across the board for investors worldwide when it comes to exposure to commodity assets and debt. The protocol is also IBC-enabled, allowing for interoperability across other blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem. There’s also a cross-chain bridge that will allow users to transfer their assets to Comdex from other blockchains, and vice versa in the future.
Token Utility:
CMDX is the protocol’s native token that has a wide range of utilities. Token holders can use it for staking to earn rewards and participate in governance to dictate protocol proposals, while also leveraging it as collateral to mint synthetic assets, and also used in securing the overall network.
