# Why Cantex

* **Self-custody by design**\
  Your keys, your assets. No pooled custody or shared accounts.
* **Privacy-preserving settlement**\
  Only involved parties see transaction details.
* **Low-fee, low-slippage execution**\
  Efficient AMM and DEX design paired with Canton’s architecture.
* **Beautiful desktop and mobile UI**\
  Cantex is built for everyday use: fast, responsive and equally smooth on desktop browsers and mobile devices.
* **Meaningful rewards for participants**\
  Cantex plans to introduce ecosystem incentives designed to reward active participants in the platform. These incentives may include the CX token, which is being explored as a mechanism to support trading incentives and market participation.
* **Built for builders**\
  A live SDK already powers integrations and automation, with broader asset support, new partnerships and more on the way.
