Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Opening an account is straightforward. You can register using any of the following methods:
- Email address
- Google account
- Apple ID
Once registered, your self-custody MPC wallet is created automatically. No additional setup or prior cryptocurrency experience is required.
GaiaEx uses Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology to secure your wallet. Rather than generating a single private key stored in one location, the MPC model splits your key into multiple encrypted shares distributed across independent secure environments.
This architecture eliminates single points of failure. There is no seed phrase to write down and no private key exposed at any point. GaiaEx does not have unilateral access to your funds. You retain full control of your assets at all times.
No. Because GaiaEx uses MPC wallet technology, there is no seed phrase and no private key is ever exposed to you or to any single party. Your wallet is secured through your login credentials and distributed MPC cryptography. This provides a higher level of security than traditional single-key wallets while remaining accessible to users of all experience levels.
No. GaiaEx is a decentralized exchange (DEX). Key distinctions include:
- GaiaEx does not hold or manage user funds.
- All trades are executed directly on public blockchain networks.
- There is no centralized order book controlled by GaiaEx.
- Users authorize every transaction from their own self-custody wallet.
Your assets remain under your control at all times.
You can deposit a wide range of cryptocurrencies into your GaiaEx wallet, including BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, USDC, and others.
Deposits are supported across multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Solana, TRON, and Bitcoin.
Once deposited, assets can be held in your wallet or converted to begin trading.
To place trades on GaiaEx, you need USDC on the Arbitrum network in your wallet. This serves as the base trading collateral for all markets on the platform. The process is as follows:
1. Create an account using your email, Google account, or Apple ID.
2. Deposit any supported cryptocurrency into your GaiaEx wallet.
3. Use the built-in swap feature to convert your holdings to USDC on Arbitrum.
4. Begin trading across all available markets.
The GaiaEx trading engine operates on the Arbitrum network, a high-speed, low-fee Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain. USDC (USD Coin) on Arbitrum serves as the base settlement currency for all markets, functioning similarly to USD in traditional financial markets. It is price-stable, widely supported, and enables fast on-chain settlement at minimal cost.
GaiaEx includes a built-in swap feature. To convert your assets:
1. Navigate to the Swap section in the GaiaEx application.
2. Select the cryptocurrency you wish to convert (e.g., ETH, BTC, USDT).
3. Select USDC on Arbitrum as the destination asset.
4. Review the exchange rate and confirm the transaction.
Converted funds are available for trading within seconds. All swaps are executed on-chain through decentralized smart contracts.
GaiaEx provides access to a broad range of markets through decentralized on-chain infrastructure:
- Cryptocurrency: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, HYPE, and others
- Tokenized Equities: NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, ANTHROPIC
- Commodities: Gold (XAUT), Oil (CL)
- Indices: NAS100, S&P 500
All markets are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no traditional market hours and no intermediary brokers.
No. Tokenized equities on GaiaEx are synthetic instruments that track the price of the underlying reference asset. They are settled in USDC on-chain. They do not represent direct ownership of the underlying security, and they do not confer voting rights, dividends, or any shareholder entitlements. Pricing is derived from public market reference data.
You may withdraw assets from your GaiaEx wallet at any time. To initiate a withdrawal:
1. Open your wallet within the GaiaEx application.
2. Select the asset you wish to withdraw.
3. Enter the destination wallet address and the amount.
4. Review and confirm the transaction.
Withdrawals are processed on-chain. There are no lock-up periods imposed by GaiaEx. Network confirmation times vary depending on the blockchain used.
Because GaiaEx uses MPC wallet technology, there is no seed phrase to recover. Account access can be restored through the authentication method used during registration (email, Google, or Apple ID). The MPC key shares are reconstructed securely during the recovery process. If you experience any difficulty regaining access, please contact our support team at {supportEmail}.
GaiaEx employs multiple layers of security to protect your account and assets:
- MPC-based cryptographic key distribution with no single point of failure.
- Biometric authentication (Face ID) for transaction authorization.
- Encrypted communications across all platform services.
- Session-based access controls.
Users are responsible for safeguarding their login credentials and ensuring the security of their registered devices.
No. GaiaEx operates under a non-custodial model. We do not have access to your wallet or the ability to move, freeze, or reverse your assets. Only you can authorize transactions from your wallet. This is the fundamental principle of self-custody.
Your assets are stored on public blockchain networks, not on GaiaEx servers. In the event that GaiaEx services become unavailable, your funds remain on-chain and accessible through any compatible wallet or blockchain interface. This is a core advantage of non-custodial architecture.
GaiaEx currently supports the following networks:
Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Solana, TRON, and Bitcoin.
Support for additional networks may be introduced over time.
GaiaEx may apply a transparent interface fee on certain transactions. Blockchain network fees (gas fees) are determined by the underlying network and are not controlled by GaiaEx. All applicable fees are displayed prior to transaction confirmation. There are no hidden charges.
Digital asset trading involves significant risk. Users should be aware of the following:
- Market volatility: prices may fluctuate substantially in short periods.
- Smart contract risk: decentralized protocols may contain vulnerabilities.
- Irreversibility: blockchain transactions cannot be reversed once confirmed.
- Regulatory uncertainty: applicable regulations vary by jurisdiction.
Users are solely responsible for their trading decisions. GaiaEx does not provide investment, legal, or financial advice. Only commit capital you are prepared to lose.
