# What Can You Build?

> Explore the kinds of applications and tools you can build on top of SX Bet.

SX Bet exposes a full REST API with access to markets, orderbooks, order management, and trade history. This opens up a wide range of possible applications — from fully automated trading systems to custom frontends and analytics tools.

  <Card title="Trading Bots & Automated Strategies" icon="robot">
    The most common developer use case. Because SX Bet is a true orderbook exchange, you can implement systematic trading strategies just like in financial markets:

    * **Market making** — post both sides of a market to capture the spread
    * **Arbitrage** — identify pricing discrepancies between SX Bet and other books
    * **Model-driven betting** — feed your own predictive models into automated order placement
    * **Closing positions** — hedge or exit existing positions programmatically
  </Card>

  <Card title="Custom Frontends" icon="browser">
    Build your own interface on top of SX Bet's liquidity:

    * Specialized views for specific sports or leagues
    * Mobile-native betting apps
    * Social/community betting platforms
    * White-label sportsbook interfaces
  </Card>
