How CTX Works

What is CTX?

Overview

CTX is a non-custodial trading interface and execution layer for crypto markets. It provides unified access to spot markets, perpetual futures, and token swaps — without requiring users to give up custody of their assets at any point.

"CTX does not custody funds, does not run an exchange, and is never a counterparty to your trades."

Core principles

CTX does not hold or manage user funds at any point
Trades are executed via on-chain protocols and external liquidity venues
Users always trade from their own self-custodial wallets
CTX is not a party to any transaction executed through the interface
All transactions are irreversible and publicly verifiable on-chain
