$DIME is the native token of the Paradex ecosystem. Paradex has grown from a decentralized, high-performance derivatives exchange into a broader, composable stack where market primitives (spot, perps, options), risk primitives (unified margin), liquidity primitives (RPI and PRISM), and privacy primitives come together to form a single operating system for onchain finance. Drawing on these primitives from this foundation, Paradex enables a market structure engineered for deep liquidity, zero-fee execution, immediacy, verifiability, and user protections, without requiring users to give up self-custody or privacy. $DIME coordinates and aligns incentives across protocol users, liquidity providers and builders, as Paradex expands from a derivatives venue into a full on-chain financial system.
