07 / GOOD TO KNOW
Questions and answers
What components make up a CEX exchange?
The core is the matching engine and order book; around it we build a wallet service with cold storage, KYC/AML modules, fiat payment gateways, the trading interface, a trader API, and an admin panel.
Do you build the matching engine yourselves or use an off-the-shelf one?
We develop our own matching engine: it runs in memory, supports limit, market, and stop orders, and processes tens of thousands of trades per second. This gives you full control over the logic and performance.
How do you attract liquidity at CEX launch?
We integrate external liquidity providers and aggregators and configure market-making bots on your pairs, so spreads and order book depth are maintained from day one.
How are user funds stored?
The bulk of assets is kept in cold wallets with multisig, while hot wallets are topped up automatically within limits. Large withdrawals go through multi-level approval.
Can the exchange accept fiat?
Yes. We integrate card acquiring, bank transfers, and payment providers suited to your jurisdiction, including automatic reconciliation of deposits and withdrawals.
What is the timeline for launching a CEX?
We estimate the first release, integrations, readiness of source data and required testing. After discussing the scope, we provide an estimate by stage, with external services and future work listed separately.
