Why did we start by only informing trades on CEXs?

The tldr is that it's for safety, security & liquidity. Additionally, it's where the market is (and will be in the future).

  1. Enhanced due diligence: Listed tokens on CEXs have undergone a rigorous vetting process, providing an additional layer of security and trust.

  2. Superior liquidity: CEXs offer significantly higher liquidity compared to on-chain trading, ensuring more efficient order execution and reduced slippage.

  3. Non-custodial: We don't handle anyone's money, we just provide insights.

  4. Robust security measures: CEXs implement advanced security features such as IP whitelisting, granular permissions, and multi-factor authentication, creating a secure trading environment for users.

  5. Lower transaction fees: Lower transaction fees on CEXs make trading more accessible and cost-effective for users, although the emergence of Layer 2 solutions presents exciting opportunities for further optimisation.

  6. Wider access: By leveraging CEXs, we enable a wider audience, including traditional finance (TradFi) users, to gain exposure to crypto trading without the complexities of setting up smart wallets or navigating on-chain protocols.
