# What's the difference between orders and other DEXs?

The differentiation lies in several key aspects:

1. **Degree of centralization:** Unlike many other decentralized exchanges (DEXs), we don’t utilize any form of custody. Your assets aren't required to be held or deposited onto the platform; you retain maximum control. Leveraging methods called "0-Sec Multiple Transactions" and PSBT technology, your assets remain in your address both before and after being utilized as liquidity provider (LP). This implementation ensures lossless and risk-free liquidity mining.
2. **Diverse Product Experience:** We're pioneers in implementing decentralized BID and LP functionalities on Bitcoin. This sets us apart in terms of product innovation and user experience, particularly within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
3. **Divergent Layer 2 Solutions:** Our approach incorporates MicrovisionChain's Layer 2 solution, acknowledged as the most optimal Bitcoin sidechain. With features such as a fee rate of 1/400,000 and 0 confirmations, this solution is poised to establish cross-chain bridges, scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2024.

Our unique blend of decentralization, innovative product offerings, and the integration of a cutting-edge Layer 2 solution sets us apart in the landscape of DEXs, aiming to provide users with enhanced control, security, and efficiency in their decentralized trading experiences.
