Save with data, not promises.
Compare the full cost before moving your assets.
Latin Link swaps crypto already in your wallet. It does not sell crypto for fiat, cards, or bank transfers. The cheapest result depends on the network, pair, liquidity, and time.

Three ways to trade: CEX, direct DEX, and DEX aggregator.
Latin Link is part of the DEX ecosystem. It differs because it is not limited to one protocol: it works as a DEX aggregator that compares routes before you sign.
CEX: an account run by a company
You deposit crypto with a platform such as Bybit. The company records your balance and executes trades inside its system. Moving the result to your wallet requires a withdrawal.
DEX: a market on the blockchain
Your assets remain in your wallet. You connect, choose a pair, and sign an operation executed by smart contracts and on-chain liquidity.
Latin Link: a DEX aggregator
Your assets remain in your wallet. Latin Link uses OpenOcean routing to compare routes across compatible DEXs and sources, shows a quote, and executes only what you sign.
Buying on a CEX does not mean you must keep your savings there.
When you leave cryptocurrency on a centralized exchange, you depend on that company keeping access, solvency, and withdrawals available. For holding assets, a self-custody wallet gives you direct control, provided you can protect your recovery phrase and review every operation correctly.
Your balance is not your keys
On a CEX you see a balance in the company's account system. The exchange controls the keys that authorize on-chain movements.
A withdrawal can be paused
The exchange may pause or limit withdrawals for operational, liquidity, security, compliance, or regulatory reasons.
You take counterparty risk
If the custodian fails, is hacked, or becomes insolvent, recovery may be difficult or impossible. Investor.gov explicitly warns about suspended withdrawals and bankruptcies.
Self-custody changes the risk
Your wallet removes the exchange as custodian, but you must protect the seed phrase and verify permissions, address, token, and network. Mistakes can be irreversible.
They do not start from the same place.
On a CEX, your USDT is credited to an exchange account. With Latin Link, USDT must already be in a compatible wallet on a supported network. An honest comparison starts by locating your funds.
| New-user question | CEX | Latin Link |
|---|---|---|
| Where is my balance? | In the exchange account | In your own wallet |
| Who controls the keys? | The exchange | You |
| Can I use fiat or a card? | Some CEXs allow it | No. Latin Link does not sell crypto for fiat |
| How is the swap made? | The CEX executes in its market | OpenOcean finds an on-chain route and you sign |
| What do I pay to swap? | Trading fee and price/spread effect | Configured fee, route effect, and gas |
| Do I pay to take funds out? | An on-chain withdrawal fee may apply | No withdrawal: funds are already in your wallet |
| Can access be stopped? | The exchange may limit accounts or withdrawals | Latin Link cannot freeze your wallet; execution still depends on networks and protocols |
| Who recovers access? | The exchange may offer account recovery | Nobody can recover a lost seed phrase |

Your USDT is already on a CEX
Using the CEX may take fewer steps. To use Latin Link, you would first withdraw to a wallet and pay the live withdrawal fee.
Your USDT is already in your wallet
Latin Link or a direct DEX avoids depositing with a company. Get a quote, check the output, and sign from your wallet.
Four costs people often confuse.
Fee
An explicit charge from the platform, interface, or protocol.
Gas
Payment to the blockchain for processing. It is not Latin Link revenue.
Spread and impact
The difference caused by available prices and how much your order moves that market.
Slippage
The maximum movement you accept between quote and execution. It is protection, not an automatic fee.
Read four numbers, in this order.
1. You receive
Final estimated output token amount.
2. Fee
What the platform or interface charges.
3. Gas
What the network charges; it is not Latin Link revenue.
4. Withdrawal
Only when funds must leave a CEX.
Compare. Review. Then sign.
