Home | The Exchange | About

The Exchange is a piece of software that encapsulates all the complexities of persistent commodity exchange, general-purpose inventory, and wallet systems. Originally intended as an off-the-shelf component for building economy games, it has found uses in teaching economics and even running simulations for research.

Fully featured

Sensible, intuitive, and well-documented REST API makes it easy to integrate a stock, goods, or commodities exchange in your Project.

Good performance

Perhaps not what you would see running at NYSE but a single node could easily handle all of EVE Jita's trading*.

A great deal

At least 2 times cheaper than building your own** - before you even start thinking about the time your team would have to spend on it.

Thoroughly tested & well maintained

Backed by a test suite 3 times larger than the server itself, we continuously optimize the code and provide bugfixes and security updates free of charge.

The heart of your Economy

Ample observability features with various configurable metrics provide a complete and detailed view into the entire economy, in the widely-supported Prometheus format.

Nice to work with

Comes with an embedded database for zero configuration development. Includes examples, usage notes, and machine-readable documentation to get you started. Structured logging and single-binary deployments make operations simple.

Future-proof

There is no DRM. We will release all code and assets under the MIT license if we ever cease to support the Exchange product.

The Experts are around

The engineers and economists behind this software are just an email away, available for one-off or extended training, support, and development services.
