How CoinDock Works — And When a DEX Is the Better Choice

What CoinDock is

A centralized, order-book cryptocurrency exchange:

• Order-book matching on price-time priority — better prices fill first; among equal prices, earlier orders fill first.
• Custodial holdings — CoinDock holds assets; your balance is a claim on CoinDock.
• Identity verification required before trading and withdrawal.
• Reviewed listings — tokens are verified before a market opens.
• USDT-quoted markets, for comparability and to remove one source of volatility.

How that differs from a DEX

When a DEX suits you better

Stated plainly, because it is often true:

• The token is not listed anywhere reviewed. A DEX may be the only venue.
• You want to hold your own keys and accept the key-management responsibility.
• You are already interacting with on-chain protocols and custody adds a step.
• You specifically want no intermediary able to restrict access.

If any of those describe you, read how to use a DEX safely rather than opening an account here.

When CoinDock suits you better

• You want someone to have verified the token before it was listed.
• You value account recovery and support over self-custody.
• You are trading actively and want an order book with resting depth.
• You would rather not personally manage approvals, gas, and seed phrases.
• You are a project seeking a listing with a reviewed process.

What we do not claim

Listing is verification, not endorsement. It means a token was established to be what it claims. It is not a recommendation, a quality judgement, or a prediction.

We do not forecast prices. No promise about price, return, volume, or liquidity — before or after a listing. Any communication claiming otherwise on our behalf is fraudulent.

Reserve reporting is not an audit. Our proof-of-reserves page publishes liability snapshots and states directly what it is not: not a full attestation, not on-chain reserve verification, not a completed third-party audit. Treat that page as authoritative over any summary.

Custody means counterparty risk. That is real and stated in our risk disclosures.
