Liquidity Partners

Whitelisting

Liquidity provision on Cantex is subject to identity verification and approval in accordance with the platform's compliance and anti-money laundering obligations. All prospective partners must complete the whitelisting process before being able to deposit assets into any pool. As part of whitelisting, partners accept the Liquidity Provider terms — including the compliance controls described below — as a click-through agreement.

Eligibility

Cantex partners with qualified institutional participants and, on an exceptional basis, accredited individual investors. Whitelist approval requires completion of the platform's KYC/AML procedures.

Risk controls Cantex operates

Cantex operates the following controls under CaviarNine's AML/CFT and sanctions compliance policy. In plain language, whitelisted partners should expect:

  • Identity verification. Individuals provide government-issued ID, proof of address and a source-of-funds declaration; corporate applicants additionally provide incorporation documents and identification of beneficial owners holding 25% or more. Enhanced due diligence applies to higher-risk applicants.
  • Sanctions and wallet screening. Applicants and their beneficial owners are screened against the OFAC, EU, UN and HM Treasury sanctions lists, with corporate lookups against the OpenSanctions consolidated datasets. Whitelisted wallet addresses are screened using blockchain analytics for exposure to sanctioned addresses, illicit-activity-linked wallets and mixing services.
  • Ongoing re-verification. KYC re-verification and sanctions rescreening recur on a risk-rated cycle — re-verification every 6 to 24 months and rescreening monthly to quarterly, depending on the assigned risk rating.
  • Suspension on a potential match. If screening returns a potential sanctions match, whitelisted access is suspended immediately pending investigation. False positives are documented and access restored.
  • Geographic restrictions. The platform is not available in jurisdictions subject to comprehensive international sanctions (see the Terms and Conditions), and access from those jurisdictions is blocked.

Application

To initiate the whitelisting process, contact liquidity@cantex.io with the following:

  • Institutional applicants: registered entity name, jurisdiction of incorporation, name and role of the authorised contact and Cantex account address.
  • Individual applicants (considered on an exceptional basis): applicants must qualify as accredited investors under applicable local regulations. Provide your full legal name, country of residence and Cantex account address, along with a brief outline of your relevant experience or strategic interest in the Canton ecosystem.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Incomplete submissions will not be processed.

Pool economics

Liquidity partners earn a proportional share of the trading fees generated by swap activity within each pool. There are no additional incentives, token emissions or yield programmes. Returns are determined solely by pool volume and fee structure. Liquidity provision carries market risk, including exposure to changes in pool composition.

Withdrawal

Whitelisted partners may withdraw their position whenever they choose; there is no lock-up or notice period. Withdrawals, like all Cantex actions, are prepared and submitted through Cantex infrastructure — if it is unavailable, positions remain on-ledger under your keys but cannot be withdrawn until service resumes (see Custody and Infrastructure). Access may also be suspended pending investigation of a potential sanctions match, as described above.
