<h3>1. What is InstantDEX?</h3>
<p>
<a href="http://www.instantdex.org/">InstantDEX</a> (iDEX) is decentralised trading middleware. It is a piece of software
that sits between the user and exchanges and matches trades in realtime. In this
respect it is different to traditional, centralised exchanges, which represent a
single point of failure. It is also different to the blockchain based asset
exchanges of some 2.0 cryptocurrency platforms, because it is not dependent on
blocktime for completing a trade.
</p>
<hr id="q2" class="primary" style="margin-bottom: 80px;">
<h3>2. Why should I use iDEX over a traditional exchange?</h3>
<p>
InstantDEX operates in realtime, but it is decentralised. This means it offers
the best of both worlds over cryptocurrencies and the centralised exchanges they
generally trade on. Moreover, iDEX compiles composite order books from many
different sources, giving greater depth and liquidity than any single exchange.
This means smaller spreads, better security, and greater profits.
</p>
<hr id="q3" class="primary" style="margin-bottom: 80px;">
<h3>3. How does it work?</h3>
<p>
InstantDEX is a piece of software users download to their own computers, like a
cryptocurrency client. These nodes communicate directly with each other to
negotiate a trade. InstantDEX accesses many different sources of liquidity:
blockchain-based asset exchanges, such as the Nxt asset exchange; the
distributed Multigateway, which trades assets representing coins on a
peer-to-peer basis; orderbooks from centralised exchanges such as Poloniex and
Bittrex, via API keys; and more. Because of its open architecture, developers
can add their own options in the future.
</p>
<hr id="q4" class="primary" style="margin-bottom: 80px;">
<h3>4. If iDEX uses centralised exchanges, is it truly decentralised? </h3>
<p>
InstantDEX communicates with other nodes on a peer-to-peer basis, agreeing
trades in a fully decentralised manner. Liquidity comes from a wide variety of
sources. These can be determined by the user, who has to provide API keys for
any centralised exchanges used. Orderbooks are therefore as centralised as the
user wants.
</p>
<p>
Although many users will not want to trust centralised exchanges, others will
want to connect to them to access their liquidity and arbitrage orders from
other nodes. Whether or not users want to use centralised exchanges, they will
therefore benefit from the increased liquidity and lower spreads provided by
iDEX’s composite orderbooks.
</p>

<h3>5. How do I get my API key into my SuperNET.conf?</h3>
