Market-specific infrastructure map.
Commodity Market Infrastructure
Commodity markets require infrastructure that understands product quality, location, delivery rules, asset control and settlement.
ADEX Technology can support physical, financial and tokenised commodity market models where configured.
Commodity Exchange Technology Market Structure
Commodity markets may trade spot products, deliverable futures, cash-settled contracts or tokenised commodity instruments.
The venue must define quality standards, lot size, delivery location, custody or warehouse records and settlement method.
Technology Requirements
Commodity infrastructure must connect product specifications, trading, risk, clearing, delivery readiness and settlement evidence.
External asset-control integration is often required for warehouses, vaults, custodians or registries.
Trading and Execution Workflows
Trading may use order books, RFQ or auction workflows depending on the commodity and liquidity model.
Market data must reflect product specification, location, delivery terms and market status.
Risk Controls
Risk controls include pre-trade checks, margin, position limits, concentration controls, delivery readiness and partial auto-liquidation where configured.
Deliverable products may require progressive collateralisation or delivery preparation before expiry.
Clearing and Settlement
Clear Chain can support trade capture, obligation records, margin linkage and clearing workflows.
Clear Vault can support delivery status, asset allocation, settlement instructions and reconciliation.
Asset-Specific Integration Requirements
Commodity markets may require warehouse, vault, custodian, registry, banking or inspection data integration.
Tokenised commodities require a link between token records, asset records, custody and transfer rules.
Market Surveillance and Reporting
Surveillance should monitor orders, trades, position concentration, delivery behaviour, settlement status and asset-control events.
Reporting should preserve the link between trade records and delivery or settlement evidence.
API and Market Data
Commodity markets may require trading, market data, reporting, custody integration, settlement and administrative APIs.
Market data can include product status, location, trade activity, settlement values and delivery events.
