FIX Straight Through Processing

FIX Straight Through Processing (STP) is a fast and efficient method for integrating with the National Digital Asset Exchange (NDAX) Settlement Service. By connecting to the NDAX FIX STP Gateway, a platform operator can transmit trade information using the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol for settlement on the blockchain through NDAX's third-party settlement agent. This allows platform operators to streamline the settlement process and ensure that trades are settled efficiently and accurately. The use of FIX STP allows platform operators to take advantage of the speed and reliability of NDAX's Settlement Service, providing a seamless experience for their users.

CP SSL

If your Financial Information eXchange (FIX) implementation does not support the establishment of a native Transmission Control Protocol Secure Sockets Layer (TCP SSL) connection, you will need to set up a local proxy, such as stunnel, to establish a secure connection to the FIX gateway. A local proxy is a software application that acts as an intermediary between your system and the remote server, allowing you to securely connect to the gateway even if your system does not natively support TCP SSL connections. By using a local proxy, you can ensure that your communication with the FIX gateway is encrypted and protected from unauthorized access. Setting up a local proxy is a simple process that can be easily completed by following the steps provided by the proxy software provider. Once the local proxy is configured, you can use it to establish a secure connection to the FIX gateway and transmit trade information using the FIX protocol.

Stunnel is described as 'The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. You must setup a local proxy such as stunnel to establish a secure connection to the FIX gateway.

Static IP

National Digital Asset Exchange (NDAX) does not support the use of static IP addresses for connecting to its platform. If your firewall rules require the use of a static IP address, you will need to set up a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) proxy server with a static IP address that is capable of resolving the IP address of the NDAX platform using Domain Name System (DNS). A TCP proxy server acts as an intermediary between your system and the NDAX platform, allowing you to establish a connection even if your system does not have a static IP address. By using a TCP proxy server with a static IP address, you can ensure that your connection to the NDAX platform is secure and compliant with your firewall rules. Setting up a TCP proxy server is a straightforward process that involves configuring the server with the necessary software and settings. Once the proxy server is set up and configured, you can use it to establish a connection to the NDAX platform and trade digital assets.
