8.2 From Limitation to Creation - Why We Have to Build ValueChain

But as we began designing SoDEX, we quickly hit a wall. Even the most advanced existing blockchain infrastructures were not built for the demands of high-frequency, low-latency, and fully on-chain trading at a global scale, especially not with the levels of security, modularity, and composability SoDEX requires. SoDEX needs:

• Infrastructure capable of supporting Nasdaq-grade throughput for order book transactions

• A settlement layer capable of handling Visa-level transaction concurrency for end users

• Native support for on-chain order books and modular execution environments

• Seamless composability with EVM-based smart contracts and future DeFi primitives

• Decentralization, transparency, and accessibility

No existing chain could deliver all of those. That's why we are building our own: ValueChain.
