💡 WHAT IS TKM EXCHANGE?
TKM Exchange is a trading platform built on a user-controlled wallet model, designed to reduce unnecessary custody and give you direct control over your funds.
Unlike typical exchanges where you deposit and lose control, TKM Exchange separates your saved wallet from your trading balance. You only move the amount you intend to trade.
🔒 CORE SECURITY & CONTROL FEATURES
🔐 User-Controlled Wallets
Your saved wallet addresses remain under your control. The exchange tracks them but does not hold your keys. | 💰 Separate Trading Balance
Deposit only what you need for active orders. The rest stays in your wallet. |
✅ Strict Source-Address Checks
Deposits must originate from your saved wallet address for that specific asset. | 🛡️ 2FA Protection
Secure your account with two-factor authentication from the Security tab. |
⏳ Confirmation-Based Credits
Trading balances are credited only after transaction verification and confirmations. | 📜 Clear Transaction Intent
Before signing, you see the source wallet, the trading settlement address, and the amount. |
🛡️ TKM & SHIELD2 PRIVACY INTEGRATION
Shield2 Address Support
TKM deposits require the shield2 payment-code format. Older TKM address formats are rejected to ensure consistent settlement.
Privacy Model
TKM transactions are sent through the shielded pool contract. The technical target may appear as the pool contract, while the settlement recipient remains the shield2 trading account.
📈 HOW TRADING WORKS
1 | Save Wallet Addresses
Each listed asset should have a saved user wallet address. Completed-trade proceeds are routed to this address. |
2 | Fund Trading Balance
Create a deposit intent. The page shows the source wallet, settlement address, and amount before you sign. |
3 | Place Orders
Buy orders reserve the quote asset (e.g., USDT). Sell orders reserve the base asset (e.g., TKM). Only the amount needed is locked. |
4 | Payouts
When a trade fills, the asset you receive is prepared for payout to your saved wallet address for that asset—it does not silently become new trading balance. |
📊 Example:
If you sell 10 TKM for 1 USDT, the 10 TKM leaves your locked trading balance, and the 1 USDT is marked for payout to your saved USDT wallet address.
💎 WHY THIS MODEL IS STRONGER
TKM Exchange reduces custody risk by separating user wallets from trading balances. It supports TKM's shield2 privacy model, enforces strict source-address checks, and provides a transparent trading flow with stronger user control.
