# FAQ

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are answers to the most common questions about Fordex and $FDX.

***

#### **Q1: What is Fordex?**

Fordex is an **AI-powered DEX Screener and Trading Hub** that helps traders spot opportunities, avoid risks, and trade seamlessly across multiple chains — all in one platform.

***

#### **Q2: How is Fordex different from Dexscreener or DEXTools?**

Unlike traditional screeners that only show charts and prices, Fordex adds:

* ✅ Automated contract risk checks
* ✅ Honeypot & slippage simulation
* ✅ Built-in trade terminal with best-route aggregation
* ✅ Real-time alerts & bot integrations
* ✅ AI-powered queries and risk scoring

This makes Fordex a **safer and smarter choice** for active DEX traders.

***

#### **Q3: What chains does Fordex support?**

Currently:

* Ethereum (ETH)
* Base
* Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
* Arbitrum
* Polygon

Roadmap: Solana and other non-EVM chains.

***

#### **Q4: How does the Risk Scanner work?**

The Risk Scanner analyzes:

* Owner privileges (mint, blacklist, proxy, etc.)
* Liquidity lock % and duration
* Buy/sell tax rates and slippage needs
* Holder concentration and dev wallet activity

It then assigns a **Risk Badge** (Safe-ish, Caution, High Risk) to help traders quickly understand potential dangers.

***

#### **Q5: What is the utility of $FDX token?**

$FDX powers the Fordex ecosystem by providing:

* Fee discounts
* AI credits (for advanced filters & risk scoring)
* Premium alerts & API access
* Priority queue for faster execution
* Governance rights
* Buyback & burn deflationary mechanism

***

#### **Q6: How does Fordex make money?**

* Trading execution fees / markups
* Pro subscriptions (paid in USDC or $FDX)
* API monetization
* Optional sponsored listings

A portion of this revenue is used for **$FDX buybacks and burns**.

***

#### **Q7: Is Fordex non-custodial?**

Yes ✅ Fordex never holds user funds. All swaps are executed directly on-chain using decentralized protocols.

***

#### **Q8: Is Fordex safe to use?**

Fordex provides advanced **risk scanning, transparency logs, and audit-ready infrastructure**, but no tool can eliminate all risks. Traders must always **DYOR (Do Your Own Research)**.

***

#### **Q9: When will cross-chain trading be available?**

Multi-EVM support is already live. Bridgeless cross-chain swaps and Solana integration are planned for **2026**.
