GRVT is a unique cryptocurrency exchange that combines the best parts of centralized and decentralized trading. It focuses on secure trading while giving users full control over their assets. This control is possible because GRVT uses self-custodial trading, where users hold their assets instead of the exchange. This reduces the risk usually associated with third-party custodians.
Description
Here’s how it works:
- Hybrid Model: Trades are matched off-chain (like in centralized exchanges) but finalized on the blockchain. This makes trading fast and efficient while keeping it secure and transparent.
- Privacy Focus: GRVT protects your trading information, keeping your trading strategies and positions secret.
- Low Fees and Zero Gas Trading: Trading on GRVT is more cost-effective thanks to lower fees and no gas charges.
In summary, GRVT provides a safe and efficient trading platform that combines the speed of centralized exchanges with the security of decentralized systems. It's especially good for traders who want to maintain control over their assets and keep their trading data private.
