DEX Usage

How do I transfer tokens to and from Alpha Sec.?​

The Alpha Sec Transfer Gateway is the official mechanism for moving assets between Alpha Sec. and the Kaia network.

  • Connect your wallet to Alpha Sec.
  • Use the Deposit and Withdraw features of Alpha Sec.
  • Alpha Sec. abstracts all bridging logic, no separate interface is required

Assets are transferred securely and verifiably between Kaia and Alpha Sec. through canonical gateway contracts.

Can I send assets from Alpha Sec. to a CEX?​

Direct withdrawals from Alpha Sec. to CEXs are not currently supported.

To send assets to a CEX:

  • First, withdraw the assets to Kaia mainnet using the Alpha Sec interface
  • Then transfer them from your wallet to a CEX that supports KAIA or the relevant token

Do I need to pay gas fees when trading on Alpha Sec. DEX?​

No. All trading activity within Alpha Sec. is gasless.

  • No gas fees are charged for placing or canceling orders
  • No gas is required for trade matching, settlement, or transfers between users

This is different from most Layer 1 DEXs, where every interaction (like submitting an order or canceling it) incurs a transaction fee.

Is Alpha Sec. secure?​

Yes. Alpha Sec is built on a custom rollup-inspired architecture designed for both performance and security.

  • Transactions are executed on Alpha Sec’s dedicated Layer 2 engine
  • State roots are periodically submitted to Kaia network for verification and settlement
  • All execution is on-chain and audit-friendly, with no centralized operator dependencies

How can I view my transaction history on Alpha Sec.?​

Transaction history can be accessed via the Alpha Sec. Explorer, which includes:

  • Transaction logs per wallet
  • Trade-level execution records
  • Order submission, fill, and cancellation events
  • Gasless transaction activity

Explorer functionality is integrated directly into the Alpha Sec. interface.
