The Institutional Standard for Canadian Crypto
NDAX is the platform where security, compliance, and advanced trading converge. We provide a trusted, transparent, and regulated gateway to the digital asset economy, engineered for both novice investors and professional traders.
Uncompromising Security and Custody Architecture
Our multi-layered security framework is the foundation of our operations. By partnering with world-class custodians and integrating cutting-edge technologies like MPC and biometric verifications, we ensure that your digital wealth is protected against the complex threat landscape of modern finance. This commitment goes beyond software, encompassing physical security and strict operational protocols regularly audited by third parties.
Institutional Cold Storage
The vast majority of client digital assets are held offline in multi-signature cold storage provided by Ledger Vault, a globally recognized leader in custody solutions. This institutional-grade setup minimizes exposure to online threats and hacking risks, representing the highest standard of protection in the industry.
Mandatory Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Security starts with the user. We enforce mandatory 2FA using time-based one-time password (TOTP) protocols across all accounts. Furthermore, every single crypto withdrawal requires triple confirmation: 2FA, email verification, and often device confirmation, ensuring that only you control your assets.
Segregated Fiat Accounts
Client fiat funds (CAD) are legally segregated and held in trust accounts at a Canadian Crown-owned financial institution. This strict separation ensures client funds are never commingled with NDAX operational capital, providing unparalleled assurance and regulatory protection in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
Advanced MPC Hot Wallet Technology
For the small portion of assets required for daily liquidity, we utilize Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. This advanced cryptographic technique eliminates single points of failure by distributing key fragments across multiple independent parties, making the hot wallet highly resilient against internal collusion and external cyberattacks.
Pioneering Canadian Regulatory Compliance
Trust in the digital asset space is earned through transparency and adherence to law. NDAX is committed to full compliance with Canadian regulatory bodies, providing a stable and trustworthy environment. Our proactive approach to regulation is designed to safeguard investor interests and ensure the long-term viability of the platform.
