The Bullish platform boasts an order book that uniquely merges the high-performance capabilities of a central limit order book (CLOB) with the depth and reliability of an automated market maker. This fusion of liquidity sources allows Bullish to offer a robust order book for digital assets that operate independently of external price feeds or oracles. It is common for new digital asset exchanges to start with modern protocols (REST and Websocket) and later add FIX; Bullish were no different.
