+  * **Alcor Exchange Spot Market**
+The **Alcor Exchange Spot Market** is a key feature of the Alcor DEX, a decentralized exchange operating on Antelope-based blockchains (formerly EOSIO) like WAX, EOS, Telos, and Proton.
+Unlike a "Swap" (which uses an Automated Market Maker/Liquidity Pool), the Spot Market utilizes a traditional Order Book system. This allows for a trading experience similar to centralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, but with full decentralization.
+  *
+  * **Key Features of the Spot Market**
+    * **Order Book System**: You can view the depth of the market (bids and asks) and place specific **Limit Orders** (buying/selling at a price you choose) or **Market Orders** (buying/selling instantly at the current price).
+    * **Self-Listing & Permissionless**: One of Alcor’s most famous traits is that any developer can list a token for free. This makes the spot market the primary home for many "small-cap" gaming tokens and community projects that aren't available on larger exchanges.
+    * **Non-Custodial**: You trade directly from your wallet (like Cloud Wallet, Anchor, or Wombat). Alcor never takes possession of your funds; the trade is executed via a smart contract.
+    * **Zero to Low Fees**: Alcor is known for having **0% trading fees** on many of its spot markets, though this can vary depending on the specific blockchain and market pair.
+The Alcor Spot Market is often the best place to find the best price for your earned tokens. It allows you to "fish" for a better price by leaving a limit order open, rather than settling for the immediate (and sometimes lower) rate offered by a swap pool.
