The vast majority of digital assets are stored in geographically distributed cold storage facilities, completely disconnected from the internet. This mitigates the risk of online attacks. Furthermore, we maintain comprehensive insurance policies to cover potential losses.
As a regulated entity, we operate under strict compliance regimes globally. This involves comprehensive KYC/AML procedures, regular external audits, and collaboration with regulators to ensure a safe and legal trading environment. (Ensure compliant trading practices).
All accounts require robust Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), including hardware keys and authenticator app support, providing an essential layer of protection against unauthorized access.

Our transparent and competitive fee schedule is designed to reward high-volume traders. Fees are calculated on a Maker-Taker model, encouraging market liquidity provision. (Content continues here, simulating several detailed paragraphs on fee comparisons, tiered discounts, and the benefits of providing market liquidity.)
Taker orders remove liquidity from the order book and incur a slightly higher fee. Maker orders add liquidity, and therefore enjoy lower fees, sometimes even zero or negative fees for the highest tiers.
Your trading volume is calculated on a rolling 30-day basis, updating your tier dynamically to ensure you always benefit from the best available rates based on your activity.
