# What Cantex Is

Cantex is a **self-custodial trading platform** built on the Canton Network. It provides users with private on-chain accounts, fast token swaps and a modern trading interface that works beautifully on both desktop and mobile.

Cantex brings together the convenience of Web3 with the execution quality and privacy expected by professional users - all while keeping full control of assets in the hands of the user.
