# Etadex – Technical & Legal Overview
**Etadex** is a non-custodial, on-chain execution infrastructure developed by **Etagram**. This page is intended to provide a clear, technically accurate, and Turkish-law–compliant explanation of Etadex for users, developers, auditors, and regulators.

## 1. What Etadex Is
Etadex is **not** an exchange, broker, investment platform, or asset management service.
Etadex is a **decentralized software infrastructure** consisting of smart contracts that:
* Execute user-defined on-chain intents (e.g. swaps, TWAP execution)
* Operate in a **non-custodial** manner
* Do not take possession, control, or discretionary authority over user assets
* Are executed deterministically based on publicly verifiable smart contract logic
All transactions are executed directly on public blockchains (e.g. BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum-compatible networks).
---
## 2. Non-Custodial Architecture
At no point does Etadex:
* Hold user funds
* Pool user assets
* Act as a counterparty
* Access private keys
Users interact with Etadex **directly from their own wallets**. Assets remain under the exclusive control of the user’s wallet and are only moved according to transactions explicitly signed by the user.
This design aligns with the principle of **user self-custody** under Turkish law.

## 3. Smart Contract-Based Execution
Etadex operates exclusively through:
* Open-source smart contracts
* Publicly verifiable on-chain logic
* Immutable deployment addresses
Key components include:
* **EtadexVault**: Execution authorization and intent validation
* **TWAPEngine**: Time-weighted execution logic
* **DecisionCore / FeeEngine**: Deterministic rule-based modules
These contracts:
* Execute predefined logic only
* Do not make subjective or discretionary decisions
* Cannot be altered post-deployment
