DEX Platform

A decentralized cryptocurrency exchange platform with optimized memory usage and performance.

Features

• Cryptocurrency trading
• Optimized for low memory consumption
• Multiple server options for different environments
• Responsive UI
• Real-time price updates

Memory Optimization

This project has been specifically optimized to handle Out of Memory errors:

• Sequential script loading to prevent memory spikes
• Optimized asset loading
• Memory-efficient server implementations
• Garbage collection tuning

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Configure your CoinLayer API key in the .env file:

COINLAYER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Running the DEX

For Windows users:

Use one of the following start scripts:

• start-dex-minimal.bat - Recommended for most users (uses built-in Node.js modules)
• start-memory-fixed-dex.bat - Alternative for Express-based server

Using Node.js directly:

# Run the memory optimization first
node fix-memory-issues.js

# Then start the minimal server
node minimal-server.js

Server Options

This project provides multiple server implementations:

1. Minimal Server (minimal-server.js)

   • Uses only built-in Node.js modules
   • Lowest memory footprint
   • Recommended for most users

2. Express Server (serve-dex.js)

   • Uses Express.js
   • More features but higher memory usage
   • Useful for development

Memory Troubleshooting

If you still encounter memory issues:

1. Increase memory limit in the NODE_OPTIONS setting
2. Run node fix-memory-issues.js before starting the server
3. Use the minimal server option for lowest memory usage
