Why Elevex

Everything you expect from an exchange. Nothing you have to trust.

Centralized exchanges are fast but hold your money. On-chain venues keep you in control but make you wait. Elevex is built so you don't have to choose.

Your keys, the whole time

Deposits are held by on-chain contracts, never by us. Withdraw whenever you like with a proof of your balance. No approval queue, no permission required.

Proven, not promised

Every fill and balance change is committed to a state that a zero-knowledge proof verifies on-chain. Anyone can check the math.

Fair execution

Orders never sit in a public mempool, so there is nothing for bots to front-run or sandwich.

Exchange-grade speed

A Rust matching engine fills orders off-chain at the pace traders expect from a centralized venue.

The life of a trade

From your click to final settlement.

Follow one order through Elevex. At no point does your money leave rules you can verify.

What is Elevex?

Elevex is a spot crypto exchange that pairs a high-speed orderbook with self-custody. Orders are matched off-chain for speed, and every batch of trades is settled with a zero-knowledge proof verified on-chain.

Does Elevex ever hold my funds?

No. Deposits are governed by on-chain contracts, not by Elevex. You can withdraw at any time using a Merkle proof of your balance, without needing anyone's approval.

How is Elevex related to KalqiX?

Elevex is built on KalqiX, a zero-knowledge orderbook protocol. KalqiX provides the matching engine, proving and settlement layer; Elevex provides the trading experience and brand you interact with.

Do I need to create an account?

No sign-up forms and no passwords. Connect a wallet and sign a message to start trading.

Why can't my orders be front-run?

Orders go straight to the matching engine instead of a public mempool, so there is no pending transaction for bots to spot and jump ahead of.

What can I trade?

Spot markets at launch, starting with BTC/USDC. More markets, including perpetuals, are on the roadmap.
