Introduction to the Forwarder

Centralized exchanges play a pivotal role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, offering a straightforward and accessible platform for users to trade cryptocurrencies. These platforms are particularly valued for their user-friendly interfaces and the security they provide, making them the go-to option for both newcomers and seasoned traders.

Despite these benefits, CEXes have a notable limitation that impacts the user experience: they restrict the transfer of assets to blockchain networks not directly supported by the exchange. Integrating CEX for such networks takes a lot of time and resources.

The consequence for app chains, subnets or similar, is the isolation from the liquidity provided by CEXes.

The Forwarder solves this issue by providing instant CEX support for Aurora Mainnet and all Aurora Chains from day one.
