# Purpose
### ❓ Problem
Users are forced to compromise when choosing a crypto exchange :
* **Centralized exchanges** **(CEX)** lack ownership, transparency and trust.
* **Decentralized exchanges (DEX)** are too complicated and chaotic for retail users.
* **Web3 wallets** are unsafe**,** not user friendly and will lose all their appeal when the regulations strip them off their anonymity.
### ✅ Solution
Cover the strengths of both CEX & DEX with a hybrid exchange in order to eliminate their flaws and shortcomings.
Monitok is the first of its kind, [hybrid crypto exchange](https://monitok.io/blog/hybrid-crypto-exchange-explained/), designed to bring you both seamlessness and ownership.
#### "It's a seamless UX with a unique set of features and built on decentralized protocols providing safety, transparency and full ownership of your assets."
