A DEX trading wallet is a self-custody wallet built on smart contracts, designed for exchange users—especially beginners. Its goal is to lower the entry barrier and improve security. With a DEX trading wallet, you don’t need to manage private keys or seed phrases, understand gas fees, or withdraw funds to an on-chain wallet. You can directly use your exchange balance to trade on-chain tokens. Passkey is used as the core authentication tool for signing transactions, managing your wallet, and recovering your account.
