Azura is the first communication layer for decentralized finance (DeFi), designed to make accessing DeFi assets and protocols as seamless as using traditional financial applications.
- What is Azura?
Azura is a project that integrates multiple DEXs into a single interface, creating a comprehensive platform that allows users to trade any asset anywhere, while giving them complete control through their non-custodial wallet.
- Azura’s outstanding features
Non-custodial and Air-gapped wallets
Azura allows users to have full control over their assets through its non-custodial wallet product. In addition, Azura also has an “Air-gapped” feature, allowing the wallet to be isolated from integrated protocols, minimizing security risks due to bugs or protocol hacks.
Account Security
Azura allows users to use a passkey or password to secure their accounts, and also provides an additional two-factor authentication (2FA) option for sensitive actions such as transferring assets and purchasing cryptocurrencies.
Asset Blacklist
Azura automatically blocks and hides counterfeit tokens sent to users’ wallets, as well as tokens associated with previously identified bad actors.
Smart Contract Audit
Azura is able to look up and analyze real-time audits of smart contract implementations for tokens to detect bugs, security vulnerabilities, honeypots, or potential fraud.
Trade Simulation
Azura simulates the blockchain in real time to ensure the quality of transactions before users execute orders, giving them advance insight into liquidity, slippage, and other elements of the transaction.
