How Crypto Exchange Software Works
Codono's crypto exchange software operates as five interconnected systems — order matching, wallet management, identity verification, risk controls, and admin operations — all coordinated through a unified backend with full source code access.
The order matching engine processes buy and sell orders using price-time priority, supporting limit, market, stop-limit, OCO, fill-or-kill, and post-only order types. The multi-chain wallet system manages deposits and withdrawals across 50+ blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Tron with hot/cold separation. The KYC/AML compliance layer integrates with Sumsub for tiered identity verification, and the admin panel gives operators full control over users, wallets, fees, trading pairs, and real-time reporting.

Defense-in-depth security architecture with global regulatory support for MiCA (EU), MSB (US), VARA (Dubai), and MAS (Singapore) frameworks.

Liquidity Solution
The built-in liquidity aggregation engine solves the cold-start problem — your users see competitive market depth from day one.
Unmatched orders route to external liquidity providers. As organic volume grows, more orders settle internally, increasing profitability. Launch with institutional-grade liquidity while building proprietary market-making relationships.
Mobile & API Access
Native iOS and Android apps with full trading functionality, plus REST and WebSocket APIs for algorithmic trading.
Over 70% of crypto volume comes from mobile — native apps with biometric auth, push notifications, and complete spot/futures/P2P access are included. Professional traders get documented API endpoints and WebSocket streams for market data and trade execution.
Revenue Model
Six revenue streams from day one:
| Revenue Source | Typical Rate | Example Monthly ($10M Daily Vol) |
