Markets & Pools

Every market on the VOIDX DEX is a DeepBook pool — a shared on-chain order book for one coin pair on Sui. This page covers both sides: finding markets to trade, and creating brand-new ones yourself.

​
Browsing Markets

The Markets page at voidx.trade/dex/markets is a discovery view across every DeepBook market:
  • Ranked market rows (cards on mobile) with token logos, price, 24h change, 24h volume, and 24h high/low.
  • Trending highlights surfacing the most active markets.
  • Search to filter by symbol.
  • Click-to-trade — selecting any market takes you straight to the Trade page with that pool loaded.
All figures come from the public DeepBook indexer in two batched calls, and token logos are resolved from each coin’s on-chain metadata.
Brand-new permissionless pools take time to appear in the public indexer. Until then they’re still listed, with stats shown honestly as ”—” rather than fabricated numbers.

​
Creating a Pool

The VOIDX DEX includes a permissionless pool creator: anyone can list a new market for any Sui coin pair, directly from the UI, with no permission from VOIDX or anyone else. Under the hood it calls DeepBook’s create_permissionless_pool function on-chain.
Pool creation is irreversible and costs real money. It requires a one-time fee of 500 DEEP (paid to the DeepBook protocol, not to VOIDX) plus gas, and it creates a permanent shared on-chain market. There is no edit and no refund. Wrong tick/lot/min parameters produce a permanently broken market that burned the fee — which is exactly why the creator validates everything hard before letting you sign.

​
What you need

  • A connected Sui wallet (the creator is connect-gated).
  • At least 500 DEEP in your wallet, plus SUI for gas.
  • The full coin type of your base asset (e.g. 0x…::mycoin::MYCOIN). Quick-pick chips are provided for SUI and USDC as the quote side.

​
The three parameters

Every DeepBook pool is defined by three numbers. Choose them carefully — they are permanent:
ParameterMeaningDenominated in
Tick sizeThe smallest price increment orders can useQuote coin per base coin
Lot sizeThe smallest quantity increment for ordersBase coin
Min sizeThe smallest order the pool acceptsBase coin

​
Built-in validation

The creator shows a live math preview of your parameters and refuses to enable Create until all of these pass:
  • Base and quote coin types resolve on-chain (symbol and decimals are fetched from coin metadata) and are different coins.
  • Tick, lot, and min are all positive — and not so small that they round to zero in the pool’s on-chain units (which would create a broken market).
  • Min size ≥ lot size, and min size is an exact integer multiple of lot size.
Each failed check produces a plain-language error so you can fix it before anything is signed.

​
Creating it

1

Open the pool creator

From the DEX, open the Create Pool modal and connect your wallet if you haven’t.
2

Set the pair

Paste the base coin type and pick or paste the quote coin type. The creator resolves both coins’ metadata on-chain and shows their symbols and decimals.
3

Set tick, lot, and min size

Enter the three parameters and check the live preview. Fix any validation errors — the Create button stays disabled until everything is sane.
4

Sign and pay the fee

Confirm and sign in your wallet. The transaction pays the one-time 500 DEEP fee to the DeepBook registry and creates the pool as a permanent shared object. On success you get the new pool’s object ID with a Suiscan link.
5

Trade it immediately

The new market appears in your market selector right away and is fully tradeable on the Trade page.

​
Phase 1 scope — what to expect honestly

Pool creation is currently Phase 1, and there are real limits worth understanding:
  • Local listing at first. Your new pool is saved in your browser and surfaced in the market selector immediately, so you can trade it right away. The public DeepBook indexer takes time to pick up new permissionless pools — until it does, other users won’t discover the market through the indexer-backed lists, and stats render as ”—”.
  • No history until indexed. Charts, 24h stats, and order/trade history all come from the indexer, so a fresh pool shows honest empty states rather than data.
  • No liquidity included. Creating a pool creates an empty order book. A market is only as good as the orders resting in it — you (or a market maker) need to place limit orders to give it prices and depth.
  • Pools are public. Anyone can trade on a pool once they have it, regardless of who created it.
After creating a pool, seed it with resting limit orders from the Trade page so the market has a real book for others to trade against.

​
FAQ

No. The fee is defined by the DeepBook protocol and paid to the DeepBook registry as part of the on-chain pool-creation call. VOIDX takes nothing.
No. DeepBook pools are permanent shared objects with no edit function. That is why the creator validates so aggressively before letting you sign — a wrong parameter cannot be fixed afterward.
Those come from the public DeepBook indexer, which lags behind newly created permissionless pools. The market is fully tradeable on-chain in the meantime; the stats fill in once the indexer picks it up.
The success state links the pool on Suiscan. The pool is also remembered in your browser and shown in the market selector.
