❓FAQs

Is Azura a crypto exchange?

No, Azura does not operate a crypto exchange. Instead, Azura offers the first standardized application and interfacing layer that enables users to interact effortlessly with open and permissionless protocols like Uniswap, Curve, or Raydium.

Is Azura a crypto wallet?

Yes, and much more. Azura is a hybrid crypto trading app and wallet. Azura is omnichain, non-custodial, and currently supports the major EVM chains as well as Solana. The Azura wallet is secured with either a passkey or password and is recoverable. This means that the assets you hold are always in your control—and no one else's.

Where do trades on Azura go?

All trades you place using the Azura platform are exclusively filled by third-party venues, such as protocols like Uniswap. Access to DeFi assets is offered through our proprietary, intent-based order execution engine, which is designed to deliver the best execution quality. The Azura order execution engine is non-discretionary and never favors any specific venue–it is fully agnostic.

Does Azura hold my crypto?

No, your Azura wallet is non-custodial, meaning your assets remain entirely yours. Neither Azura nor any third party can access your funds or control your wallet. To learn more about Azura’s wallet architecture, visit our partner Turnkey

How does Azura source its data?

Azura’s market data is directly sourced from integrated blockchains and/or protocols. For instance, token prices on the Azura application are not Azura’s valuation and come directly from onchain liquidity pool data.

Can I buy cryptocurrency on Azura?

Yes, through our partnership with the payments platform Moonpay, Azura users have the ability to on and off-ramp their funds. KYC is required in order to on and off-ramp funds.

How is Azura decentralized?

The Azura platform is solely integrated with decentralized protocols. All your funds, trades, and transactions are entirely onchain. For example, if you hold Ethereum-based tokens in your Azura wallet, those assets will always reside on Ethereum’s decentralized blockchain.
