The people's choice for best new exchange

Building a global exchange is mostly quiet work, usually measured in millisecond latency and punctuated by the occasional "price alert" ping. We spend our time making sure the UI is intuitive enough that you don't need a PhD to use it. So it's a nice change of pace when the rest of the industry takes notice.

Last week, we were named Best New Exchange at the 2025 Crypto Awards.

The ceremony took place on January 23 at Moscow's Arbat Hall. Beyond the event itself, the selection process involved a thorough security vetting designed to filter out "fly-by-night" operations. Only the teams committed to building for the long term made it through to the final round.

By the people, for the people

In an industry that loves to talk about decentralization, it was only fitting that the final call was left to the community. Following the initial security check, the vote moved to Telegram. Thousands of traders, the people actually using the exchange every day, cast their ballots.

We're grateful for the support. This recognition validates that our focus on reliability and user-centric features is actually landing with the people who matter most.

Building momentum

This is our first award of 2026, and it follows a fairly busy 2025. Last year, we picked up a few other accolades, including Digital Asset Derivatives Platform of the Year at the Hedgeweek Global Awards.

Awards are great, but they're trailing indicators. They tell us what we did right yesterday. Our focus remains on what we're building for tomorrow: more transparency, deeper liquidity, and a trading experience that stays out of your way so you can get the job done.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
