Auctions have a rich history of being used for price discovery in illiquid assets. DeFi has solved many of the pain points for liquid assets, but auctions remain under-developed. Axis aims to solve that — deploying an auction should be as easy as deploying a liquidity pool.

Axis is the permissionless infrastructure layer that enables developers to build auction-driven applications. These dApps use a combination of various auction and token derivatives modules (i.e. sets of smart contracts) to power specific use cases. Currently, the sole dApp available is Origin, which is used for token launches.
