# Decentralized trading algorithms **Abstract** Smart-contracts helped crypto-assets trading make a great step towards decentralization within the last few years. Currently crypto-assets trading flows to decentralized platforms because of safety reasons. The function is mostly based on trading against liquidity suppliers who play the role of market-makers. Each liquidity supplier can indicate a wide price range in which the exchange by trading pair will occur. So the spread becomes too big, which influences on the trading quality. We should also note functionality of such platforms which is limited only on instant asset exchange. Runex sets the goal of expanding trading tools, as well as improving quality and convenience of decentralized trading. Development of new algorithms and improvement of available ones basing on smart-contracts will allow to achieve our goals. This document describes all the components of the algorithms and their working principles, as well as analysis of marketing component and current trends was given. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
