FlowX Finance exchange profile

FlowX Finance’s core exchange activity is on Sui: its liquidity pools sit alongside an aggregator that can route to other venues. It also publishes tools for scheduled orders, token incentives and a separate perpetuals service. A trade routed through FlowX need not execute in a FlowX protocol pool, so the interface, execution venue and associated fee need to be identified together.[1]

DefiLlama classifies the perps branch as an interface and records its execution on Hyperliquid L1. Its Sui AMM and aggregator branches are listed separately. This profile consequently treats the perps access layer as ancillary to the distinct Sui product rather than counting it as another independent Hyperliquid matching venue.[25]

Trade Details displays the rate, route, fee, price impact and slippage information. Slippage tolerance can be changed through swap settings. The rate is the proposed exchange outcome; the tolerance permits a bounded difference during execution. Raising it is not a reduction in the advertised fee and can accept a worse result.[3]

The multiple-swap SDK documents a maximum of five coins and combines returned routes into a transaction builder. It supports portfolio changes involving several assets, but each asset’s contract identity and each route still matter. A five-coin limit is an interface/integration constraint, not a guarantee of liquidity or a promise that every requested combination is executable.[5]

Limit-order requests include the input amount, expected output and an expiry field. The example uses zero for that field without establishing a universal retail expiry rule. The cancellation heading in the inspected guide does not supply a complete operational example, so the current interface’s cancellation confirmation and on-chain status remain necessary.[6]

FlowX’s official channel subsequently announced that limit orders had been restored after a maintenance pause. It advised users to review older open orders and recreate them if needed. The restored status supersedes the earlier pause notice; it does not certify that an old instruction has the price or amount its owner currently wants.[23]

Referral links can carry a configurable fee from zero to 1%, with 0.01% used in the guide’s example. The documentation says earnings are claimed in the output token, and the referral ID remains tied to one wallet. Thus a referral link can affect the transaction economics even when it sends the user to the same swap screen.[8]

The aggregator SDK also accepts percentage or flat partner commissions. The configuration must be used consistently in both quoting and transaction construction. It warns that a commission-adjusted displayed output is not itself the amount to use for on-chain calculation. An integration must reconcile the actual fee token and returned transaction, rather than infer cost solely from a headline rate.[20]

Assuming the published entry tier applies, a hypothetical US$10,000 notional taker fill costs US$4.50; an equal closing taker fill adds another US$4.50. The US$9 total excludes funding, spread, price movement and withdrawal. The guide separately states no perps deposit fee and a 1 USDC withdrawal fee.[9]

Funding is a transfer between long and short positions. FlowX’s formula multiplies position quantity by mark price and the funding rate. For a hypothetical 2-token position, a US$100 mark price and a positive 0.01% rate for one funding event, the payment is US$0.02; the long pays when the rate is positive. The rate and direction can change, and the guide says FlowX does not collect the funding payment.[10]

The Sui onboarding guide requires a compatible wallet and SUI for transaction gas. Selecting a wallet connects the application to an address; funding an LP, placing a funded schedule or staking xFLX creates a different contract position. A token appearing in the wallet does not mean it has already been allocated to one of those services.[11]

The LP interface distinguishes positions inside and outside their selected range and tracks unclaimed rewards. An out-of-range position is still an asset position; it has not automatically become a completed withdrawal. Keep the position identifier and reconcile the final token balances after any management transaction.[13]

Unstaking xFLX and converting it back to FLX are separate processes. The conversion guide describes immediate FLX-to-xFLX exchange at 1:1. In the reverse direction, an immediate conversion uses 10 xFLX for one FLX, while the longest stated period, up to 90 days, reaches 1:1. For 1,000 xFLX, those endpoints mean 100 FLX immediately or 1,000 FLX under the maximum-duration option. This is a redemption trade-off in token units, not an interest yield.[15]

Perps funding uses its own workflow. The Sui spot guide does not establish its deposit network or bridge procedure, and the perps fee page supplies no withdrawal completion guarantee.[9]

The terms state that FlowX does not hold or recover the contents of a connected wallet.[24]

That wallet-control statement does not eliminate exposure after a transaction commits tokens to a protocol. FlowX’s risk disclaimer expressly recognises the possibility of loss despite security reviews. It is the specific contract operation—swap, funded plan, pool deposit or staking entry—that determines how assets can subsequently be recovered.[18]

The audit page identifies reports by product family. A reader should match the actual deployment and version to the applicable report before extending its conclusions to a new vault or external route. The inspected index did not by itself establish a current finding-by-finding remediation status, and no customer compensation policy was established from these materials.[16]

The terms require users to have reached local legal majority and possess contractual capacity.[24]

FlowX’s separate risk disclaimer adds explicit locality exclusions, including the USA, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and several other listed territories. It also excludes prohibited locations and forbids VPN circumvention. Read that disclaimer alongside the general terms: the ability to connect a wallet or view a perpetual market is not permission to use it from every jurisdiction.[18]

The onboarding page lists examples of compatible Sui wallets. Compatibility depends on the wallet and device handling the signature request; a general web interface does not establish parity across desktop browsers, mobile wallet browsers and hardware signers. The inspected page did not provide a standalone FlowX mobile-app specification or an account-recovery promise.[11]

For a contractual dispute, the terms specify [email protected], a 60-day informal-resolution period, then Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre arbitration. No emergency telephone dealing route was established.[24]

The position dashboard records portfolio value, pools and unclaimed farming rewards. Preserve the transaction digest, asset quantities and position identity as well as any displayed fiat estimate. A dashboard total is not a realised-profit calculation. The inspected portfolio guide did not establish a consolidated CSV tax export or a jurisdiction-specific tax certificate.[13]

A restored service and an unchanged order are separate matters. FlowX’s restoration notice specifically tells users to review instructions left open during the pause. Recreating an order should follow verification of the earlier order’s status, so an old executable instruction is not unintentionally left alongside its replacement.[23]

No entity-specific financial licence was established from the inspected contract. Its Hong Kong law and arbitration clauses are not evidence of exchange authorisation.[24]

The risk disclosure places responsibility for lawful access on the user and recognises smart-contract loss exposure. An audit listing or token-governance mechanism does not establish a deposit guarantee or investor compensation scheme.[18]

The December 2023 terms identify the FlowX brand without a clear incorporated counterparty. They contain an unexplained CAKE-governance reference; that sentence cannot establish FlowX’s parentage or governance.[24]

The dedicated token documentation instead distinguishes FLX from xFLX, assigning xFLX access to governance and other holder utilities. These token rights are a protocol design; they do not establish shares in an incorporated exchange operator. A token conversion also does not itself migrate a user to a different legal entity.[15]

FlowX’s aggregator lists external Sui liquidity sources, including other independently operated exchanges. Inclusion in that routing set describes an execution integration. It does not mean FlowX owns those venues or that their activity and customer populations can be counted again as its own.[2]

Auto Invest creates a funded plan with an owner, receiver, source and target asset, amount per cycle, start time, interval and execution limit. The documented cancellation operation removes the plan. Because this is an on-chain instruction, closing the interface is not the cancellation mechanism. The example does not establish that removing a plan automatically withdraws every unused balance; reconcile the confirmed operation and remaining assets.[21]

For an illustrative plan allocating 1,000 token units over ten equal executions, each scheduled amount is 100 units. This allocation does not guarantee the number of target tokens received or the dates of successful settlement. Execution prices, available liquidity and transaction conditions remain variable.[21]

The inspected SDK describes automation and transaction building, not an AI investment adviser or a discretionary account manager. An external agent that uses the SDK still depends on its configured signer and permissions. No separate FlowX AI service with verified delegated wallet authority was established.[19]

Farming as a Service lets projects create permissionless incentives linked to an AMM pool, choosing reward tokens, amounts and duration. The guide allows up to two reward tokens and requires emissions to fit the funded period. An incentive shown beside a pool can therefore be a project-funded distribution with a finite schedule; it is not necessarily continuing trading-fee income.[22]

The xFLX fee-staking guide describes periodic conversion of protocol fees into SUI and distribution at epoch end. This establishes a mechanism, not a guaranteed current payout or annual rate. The documented withdrawal delay and loss of that epoch’s reward should be considered separately from the xFLX-to-FLX conversion choice.[14]
