How Pluto Works

Pluto is a self-custodial trading app. This means you always control your own wallet, keys, and assets.

When you create an account on Pluto, a wallet is generated for you automatically by our third party provider. This wallet lives on the blockchain, not on Pluto’s servers. Pluto does not have access to your private keys and cannot move your funds. You can export your wallet keys at any time from the app settings and use them elsewhere if you choose.

Trading & Execution

Pluto acts as an interface, not an exchange. When you place a trade, Pluto routes your order through a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator. A DEX aggregator scans multiple decentralized exchanges on the blockchain and finds the best available route and price for your trade at that moment. The trade is then executed directly on-chain from your wallet.

Because trades happen on decentralized exchanges, Pluto does not hold custody of your assets, match orders, or take the other side of your trade. All transactions are executed by smart contracts on the blockchain, and final settlement happens on-chain.

Responsibility

Pluto shows you prices, routes, and estimated fees before you confirm a transaction, but all activity remains your responsibility. Once a transaction is signed and sent to the blockchain, it cannot be reversed.

Pluto is currently in beta. Features may change, and users should expect ongoing updates and improvements.
