The BM Ecosystem
BM is an open onchain financial network made up of several interconnected components. Understanding how they fit together will help you navigate both the trading app and its supporting infrastructure.| Component | Name | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Ecosystem | BM | Open onchain financial network |
| L1 Blockchain | BM Chain | High-performance trading infrastructure (bmchain.org) |
| Native Token | BMX | Gas, staking, and ecosystem value |
| Trading App | BM.XYZ | Unified spot and perpetuals trading experience (bm.xyz) |
| Block Explorer | BM Scan | Full L1 onchain data verification (bmscan.io) |
Technical Overview
BM.XYZ runs on HyperCore-style clearing: a central limit order book (CLOB) architecture where order matching happens at the protocol layer, not inside an off-chain engine. This means:- Transparent fills — every matched order is a verifiable transaction on BM Chain. You can look up any trade by its transaction hash in Clob Scan or BM Scan.
- Sub-second finality — BM Chain’s consensus delivers block times fast enough that the onchain settlement latency is imperceptible during normal trading.
- Spot and perpetuals — both market types share the same CLOB infrastructure. Perpetual positions are margined in USDC; funding payments continuously balance long/short open interest.
- Non-custodial — you control your keys throughout. Trading keys are session-scoped, signed locally, and gas-free, so you never hand custody to the platform.
Explorers: Verifying Every Fill
BM.XYZ ships with two complementary explorers:- Clob Scan — the in-app explorer optimized for trading events. Use it to look up fills, order updates, and clearing actions without leaving the platform.
- BM Scan — the public full-chain explorer at bmscan.io. Use it for general L1 exploration: blocks, wallet balances, contract interactions, and internal transfers.
Current Scope
The current public documentation covers Testnet V1 + V2 — an internally validated environment that exercises wallet onboarding, faucet funding, spot and perpetuals trading, portfolio management, and explorer verification. Features including mainnet deposit/withdraw, vaults, staking, referrals, and the public SDK/API are planned for later releases and are not available on testnet.
- Wallet connection (MetaMask, WalletConnect, OKX Wallet, Coinbase Wallet) and email login via Privy
- Testnet faucet for test USDC and BMX
- Spot and perpetuals trading with market and limit orders
- Advanced order types: Take Profit / Stop Loss (V2)
- Portfolio view: balances, open positions, order history
- Clob Scan and BM Scan explorer access
