Built to hold size
The desk holds your funds, so this page explains exactly how they’re kept safe, and how that holds up at size.
Held under chain-specific custody controls
The desk is simple by design: your deposit comes in, your order is matched, and your withdrawal goes out. In between, the desk holds the assets backing your balance. Each asset uses signing, access, and recovery controls appropriate to its chain; custody signing material is kept outside the public website. Balances are never lent, staked, or deployed. Custody is checked against obligations continuously.
Ledger and solvency controls
Every balance lives on a double-entry ledger whose postings must balance, and the ledger is hash-chained so changes to its history are detectable. Automated checks compare observed chain holdings with recorded customer liabilities. Withdrawal processing is designed to stop when a required solvency result is missing, stale, or reports a breach.
Deposits are credited carefully
Your balance is credited only after the deposit meets the chain’s configured finality and observer checks. Those checks deliberately trade some speed for stronger evidence that the transfer has settled.
Withdrawals go only where you confirm
You add a withdrawal address and confirm it from a link we email you. Withdrawal requests are restricted to an address you verified ahead of time, and the server checks that binding on every request. Signing in alone does not add a new destination.
Reviewed before release
Security review and automated tests cover deposits, withdrawals, settlement, and ledger behavior. Release gates bind those checks to the exact source being considered for deployment.
Your orders are private
Your side, size, and price are seen only by the desk. That privacy is the point: it lets you trade real size without tipping the market or being priced against.
The short version: deposit in, matched, withdrawal out. In between, the desk holds the backing assets under chain-specific custody controls and records your balance on a tamper-evident ledger. Automated solvency checks gate withdrawals when their evidence is missing, stale, or reports a breach.
