# Tokenlon

#### Tokenlon is a decentralized exchange and payment settlement protocol based on blockchain technology

#### It leverages the characteristics of decentralized blockchain networks.

* Permissionless: Anyone can access without permission.&#x20;
* Trustless: Based on smart contracts to be transparent and secure without having to trust a third-party.
* Anti-censorship: Based on cryptographic technology that makes value transfer unstoppable.&#x20;
* Robustness: 24/7 uninterrupted, no single point of operation.

With the innovative development of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), we have seen money markets, lending markets, trading markets, payment networks, insurance markets, derivative markets etc. gradually forming a new and open financial ecosystem based on Blockchain. However, many protocols are still evolving, and there are problems in user experience and separated liquidity.&#x20;

Thanks to the openness, programmability, and composability of smart contracts, Tokenlon will integrate various mature financial protocols within the ecosystem and build a global settlement layer on top of them. Tokenlon will be used as an exchange and payment infrastructure for applications and create a robust and rich global financial market with its ecosystem partners.

&#x20;We hope that through community building, we will provide developers with a unified and standardized access point to DeFi as well as users with a simple and easy-to-use finance interface, so that everyone can use open financial services freely and equally.
