Clear Chain

Clear Chain is ADEX Technology's clearing architecture for turning executed trades into controlled, risk-managed obligations. It connects execution records, account state, margin requirements, collateral information and settlement readiness so clearing is close to the trading lifecycle rather than isolated as a delayed post-trade process.

• Captures executed trades and converts them into clearing records.
• Connects trade state to account, margin, collateral and settlement status.
• Supports visibility over open obligations, position records and post-trade controls.
• Provides an operating layer for clearing workflows that need auditability and defined participant responsibilities.

Clear Chain sits between execution, risk management and settlement. It receives trade events from the matching and trading layer, interacts with DAMS and collateral controls, and produces clearing records and settlement instructions that can be managed through Clear Vault.

• Trading provides the execution event that Clear Chain turns into a managed obligation.
• Risk management uses margin, exposure and collateral information to determine whether obligations remain within allowed limits.
• Settlement uses the resulting clearing state to determine what assets, cash or records must move.

• Trade capture
• Position and obligation records
• Margin and collateral linkage
• Clearing workflow state
• Settlement instruction support
• Audit records for post-trade activity
