DEX plug-in for the CLOB

Just an idea maybe the companies thought of this or using a different direction. I see you’ve just added a new oil perpetual futures, which is something I’d like to be able to trade, but it’s not live. Feature request — DEX backstop for the CLOB (so the thin pairs can actually fill) The problem: most CLOB pairs are effectively untradeable — the books are empty, orders can't fill, and it puts people off using the exchange at all. The idea: when the CLOB is thin, route the fill to a DEX behind the scenes and settle it to the platform ledger — then favour the native book as its own liquidity grows. Get people using the exchange now, on DEX liquidity, and migrate them onto the CLOB over time. Why it's a small step for you: the platform already runs cross-chain swaps across ~15 chains, so DEX routing is already in the building — this is assembly, not invention. It's exactly how CEX/DEX hybrids and aggregators (0x, 1inch, Jupiter) operate. What I'd want: 1. DEX backstop for spot where the CLOB is thin — the platform internalises the fill, settles internally to the ledger. 2. Best-execution rule — the CLOB mid stays the reference; only route out when the DEX price is at least as good, never worse. 3. Gas disclosure — per your own policy the user pays their own gas, so any DEX-routed fill must show that cost before I confirm. 4. Graduation — as CLOB liquidity builds, prefer the native book. The DEX is the backstop, not the destination. Scope note: this is for spot. Perps (like OIL-PERP) can't be DEX-routed — their liquidity is a counterparty/oracle, not a pool. (And OIL-PERP is halted on a stale Pyth index, not on liquidity.) One line: give the exchange DEX liquidity for the thin pairs so people can actually trade — and let the native book take over as it grows
