On-Chain Brokerage

Trade assets you actually own

On-chain trading gives you custody of real assets — tokens and RWAs in your wallet. Execute trades on DEXs with transparent pricing and no restrictions during volatility.

How It Works

The decentralized approach

1

Wallet Trading

Trade directly from your wallet — assets never leave your custody.

2

DEX Execution

Orders execute on decentralized exchanges with visible order books.

3

True Asset Ownership

Tokens and RWAs are held in your wallet, not a broker's omnibus account.

4

24/7 Trading

Markets never close and can't restrict your trading.

The Web3 Experience

Connect your wallet and trade assets that are actually yours. See transparent pricing on every trade. Withdraw your assets whenever you want. Trade during volatility when others are locked out.

Your Value as a User

Trade assets you truly own with transparent pricing and 24/7 access. Withdraw funds instantly to your self-custody wallet.
