How is EFIN different from other DEXs ?
Currently, very few (if not none) exchange seems to be a real dex,
since most of them operate with a server architecture that cannot fit
the term “decentralized”.
On the other side, with EFIN :
- users always control their own keys and maintain sole custody
over their crypto assets at all times
- users can opt to be a full node. Thus, it does not rely on a
central cluster of nodes to work
- No third party application (like TronLink, MetaMask, Scatter…) is
needed in order to run EFIN
- trades are made cross-chain : it doesn’t require your assets to
be converted in another token to be traded (unlike single-chain
exchanges using BNB or Waves for exemple)

SECURITY :

Is EFIN secure ?
EFIN aims to be one of the most secure Decentralized Exchange. To do
that, Efin employs different mechanisms :
Passwords in Efin
Efin uses several types of passwords :
- one to create an account on efin.com, and access to your account
information and follow your referral progress
- one to encrypt your wallet, so that your .dat file (stored in
your computer) cannot be read by someone else
- one to manually lock the application, so that no one can use the
application, even if they have access to your computer

WALLET :
- - - - X
What is Efin coin ?
Efin coin runs on a home-made blockchain using a Proof Of Stake (POS)
consensus mechanism. This mean you can stake your Efin coins leaving
your Efin application opened. You will then be rewarded with stakes,
minimum 5% per year.

TRADING :
- - - - X
Trade limits
There is no amount limit to trade on Efin.
But, you’re limited to 10 open trades at the same time. This
limitation has 2 reasons :
- to avoid spam attacks (unlike a cex you hold the funds until the
very last minute)
- Blockchains have a limit on the number of different tx you can
place simultaneously due to unconfirmed UTXOs
Fees
The trading fees are 0.1%, except for TPAY, EFIN, XVG and LTC pairs.
Security Deposit
Security deposits create incentives for both buyer and seller to
follow the rules of Efin’s trading protocol. They are locked into
multisig escrow along with the crypto assets being traded, and are
returned to each user when the trade completes successfully.
8
Bitcoin transactions take in average 10 min to get confirmed. It is
way faster for other assets, like TPAY, EFIN, XVG or LTC.
NB : at least one confirmation is required before the buyer can
transfer his own crypto assets to the multisig address.
You’ll find below the different steps that a trade need to follow :
What is arbitration ?
In case of a dispute that may occur during a trade (if one trader
didn’t send the assets, or if unconfirmed transaction for exemple),
Efin’s arbitrator comes in play. He will then check what really
happened, and eventually decide to cancel the trade, and potentially
requisitioning the 1% security deposit of the faulty party.
9
What is multisig address ?
A multi-signature address is an address that is associated with more
than one ECDSA private key.
In EFIN case, this multisig address is used as a secure gateway
(escrow) between the 2 traders involved in a trade. It uses a 2-of-3
address, so sending coins from the escrow requires signatures from at
least 2 keys.
