The major slackers in the web3 space is the security and which is a key part in the space. Now before investing this are few things I look out for.

User based app; checking if the platform has a user friendly interface is a must because this makes the day to day transaction processes more easier and efficient

Security standards; I think this is the major checks before investing with any CEX platform as a user. Usually it’s better to check out for the hack history and prior security bridges.

There are a lot of measures to put in place but this few has helped me.
The 2025 July 31st Financefeed awards just ended awarding some reputable exchanges with the crypto exchange platforms of the year’. I’m still trying to figure out the exchange with this award; there should be a unique tag to this exchange.

What else do you think makes some tier 1 exchanges different from other CEX?
