See how TrueCurrent compares with AMMs and order books across fees, execution quality, custody, and MEV resistance.
TrueCurrent is built for traders who want professional execution without taker fees or custodial deposits. Instead of routing trades through an AMM pool or walking an order book, TrueCurrent asks competing liquidity providers for executable prices and settles the best available quote within your limits.
On an AMM, the quoted price can move between order submission and execution. Large trades push prices up or down, sometimes significantly. Bots can front-run your transaction.On TrueCurrent, you set the worst price you’re willing to accept and confirm. TrueCurrent automatically collects prices from competing institutional liquidity providers and executes at the best one. The trade never settles outside your limit – and you never have to shop for a quote yourself.
Most exchanges, including many marketed as decentralized, require you to deposit funds into a wallet or smart contract they control. On TrueCurrent, your funds never leave your own wallet. There’s no deposit into a shared pool, no counterparty holding your assets.This is what real self-custody looks like.
You can fund your TrueCurrent account from almost any chain, including EVM chains, Solana, Bitcoin, and newer chains like Robinhood Chain and Arc, in a single in-app deposit flow. Deposits arrive as USDC on Injective with no added fees.See Deposit funds for the walkthrough.
