Common questions

What is centralized exchange development?

CEX development at Essen Software is building matching engines, order management, custody, and surveillance systems—with sub-100μs latency, circuit breakers, and compliance-ready architecture for regulated markets.

How do you handle flash crashes and risk in exchange engines? +

We implement circuit breakers, real-time margin liquidators, and dynamic risk limits at the engine level so extreme volatility does not compromise system or user funds.

Is custody self-hosted or third-party? +

We offer both: self-hosted MPC modules and integrations with Tier-1 custodians (e.g. Fireblocks, BitGo). You choose based on jurisdiction and control requirements.

What's the first step? +

Share your target markets, product scope, and compliance requirements; we propose an architecture and build roadmap.

How is the engagement structured? +

We deliver in phases: architecture and compliance, core engine, custody and security, stress testing, then phased market launch.
