GaiaEx is a decentralized exchange (DEX) with a built-in self-custody MPC wallet. Users can trade cryptocurrency, tokenized equities, commodities, and indices directly on-chain, without transferring custody of their assets to a third party. GaiaEx is fully non-custodial.

**Custody model:** GaiaEx uses Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. Rather than generating a single private key, the MPC model splits the key into multiple encrypted shares distributed across independent secure environments. There is no seed phrase and no private key exposed at any point. GaiaEx does not have unilateral access to user funds. Users retain full control of their assets at all times.

**Clearinghouses:**

- Hyperliquid (primary, USDC-margined perpetual futures, on Arbitrum)

- Aster DEX (secondary, USDT-margined)

**Markets:**

- Cryptocurrency perpetuals and spot: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, HYPE, and others

**KYC:** None. GaiaEx is fully non-custodial and does not hold user assets.
