What is Kointage DEX? Solana token research and spot trading from a wallet you control

Kointage DEX is the decentralized-exchange workspace of Kointage, the AI-powered financial research platform. It brings four things together for crypto tokens on Solana: discovering markets, reading what the chain says about a token, asking a crypto-only AI research assistant, and trading spot from a wallet you control. Kointage DEX lives at trade.kointage.com and is built by OXS Corp, the technology company known publicly as OXS Holdings. Access is currently through a waitlist.

The short version

Kointage DEX describes itself in four words: "Research before you trade." It is one workspace where the research comes first and every trade is signed by you. Tokens stay in your own wallet, swaps are routed by Jupiter, and the DEX checks each transaction before your wallet is asked to sign it. It covers Solana spot markets and nothing else — no stocks, forex, commodities, leverage or brokerage.

Where Kointage DEX fits in Kointage

Kointage is an AI-powered platform for financial research and market intelligence, covering stocks, charts and market news (more in What is Kointage?). Kointage DEX is the part of it dedicated to on-chain crypto. It uses the same Kointage account, plan and billing, but keeps its own watchlists, alerts and settings, so anything from the main platform — stock watchlists, for example — stays there. Joining the waitlist creates a Kointage account; existing users join with the account they already have.

What Kointage DEX does

The workspace is organized around four steps: discover, research, trade and track.

1. Discover markets as they form

• Discover — trending, most-traded and organic-activity views of Solana markets, over windows from five minutes to 24 hours, filtered by liquidity, volume, age, market cap and price change.
• Pulse — tokens and pools as they are created, with the launchpad when the data provider reports one.
• A stated method — each list says whose ranking it is, and Kointage sells no placements inside them.
• Visible coverage — every table shows its source and how fresh it is. Venues the data providers don't index are not shown.

2. Research what the chain says

For each token, the DEX reads facts from the chain first, then from its data provider:

• Mint authority — can anyone create more of the token?
• Freeze authority — can the issuer freeze holders and stop them selling?
• Token-2022 rules — transfer fees, transfer hooks, permanent delegates, pausing.
• Holder concentration — the share of supply held by the largest accounts, pools included.
• Pool depth — liquidity across pools, and how far a trade would move the price.
• Market age — time since the first pool. Newer markets are less tested.

What it deliberately doesn't do is reduce these facts to a single safety score. Where a fact can't be read, the DEX says so: "unknown means unknown." Nothing is labelled safe, and a successful buy is never presented as proof that you will be able to sell.

You can also follow public wallets and see their swaps as they confirm, with timestamps and explorer links. Copying one into your own trade ticket re-quotes it at today's price — never at theirs.

3. Trade — checked first, signed by you

• Swaps. Jupiter routes each swap across Solana liquidity. Before your wallet sees the transaction, the DEX decodes it and refuses it if it would send funds you didn't ask to send, approve a delegate, change an account authority, call an unrecognized program or exceed your priority-fee limit. The reviewed transaction is fingerprinted; if the signed version differs in any way, it is not submitted.
• Orders. Limit, take-profit and stop-loss orders run on Jupiter's order service. Output at the trigger price is not guaranteed, and these orders work differently on custody, as explained below.
• Quick trade. Preset amounts and percentage sells fill the ticket instantly, but every trade still needs your wallet's approval. There is no background signing, and signing in never grants trading authority.

Every ticket shows the output you should expect and the minimum you will accept, each fee on its own line, and the price impact. If the market moves past your minimum, the swap fails rather than filling at a worse price. Each trade links to its transaction on Solscan, so its status can be verified independently.

4. Track what actually settled

Holdings come from the chain, and trades are reconciled against the amounts that actually arrived — in the DEX's words, "what settled, not what animated." Cost basis uses the average-cost method. Where history is incomplete, the DEX shows "basis unavailable" instead of guessing.

AI research, limited to crypto

The DEX includes Kointage's research assistant, limited to crypto and given the token you are looking at: its chain facts, market data and recent news. Answers cite their sources with times and separate reported facts from the model's own inference.

The assistant can draft a trade for you to review. It cannot sign, withdraw or see your keys. Token metadata, articles and posts are treated as untrusted text, never as instructions — and if the AI is down, trading, orders and withdrawals carry on without it.

Who holds your funds on Kointage DEX

Custody is the question that matters most with any trading tool, and Kointage DEX answers it plainly on its security and custody page:

• Your wallet. Funds sit on chain, in a wallet whose keys you hold. Kointage stores only public wallet addresses and never asks for, receives or stores a recovery phrase or private key.
• Swaps. Funds never leave your wallet except as the trade itself, and each swap needs your signature on the exact transaction you reviewed.
• Price-triggered orders. This is the exception. When you place a limit, take-profit or stop-loss order, the order amount moves into a Jupiter-managed vault — custodial — until the order fills, you cancel it, or it expires. The DEX shows those funds separately as provider-held, and cancelling returns unspent funds through a withdrawal you sign.

Because your tokens stay in your own wallet, you can always move them with your wallet app directly, even if Kointage is unavailable. Open orders are monitored by Jupiter independently of Kointage and can also be managed through Jupiter.

Linking a wallet means signing a one-time message bound to trade.kointage.com, your address, a single-use code and an expiry time. It proves that the wallet is yours; it doesn't authorize any transaction.

What Kointage DEX costs

Kointage DEX separates research plans from trading charges:

• Research — Free ($0): discovery, token pages, on-chain facts, portfolio, alerts, followed wallets and 10 AI messages a day, shared with Kointage.
• Research — Kointage Pro ($50 a month): everything in Free with 50 AI messages a day. It is the same Pro subscription as kointage.com, on one bill.
• Swaps: no Kointage fee at the time of writing. Jupiter's own platform fee (0–0.5%, depending on the pair) applies.
• Price-triggered orders: no Kointage fee.
• Network costs: Solana signature fees, any priority fee within the limit you set, and refundable rent when a new token account is opened — passed through at cost.

Price impact and slippage are shown on their own lines because they are market effects, not fees. Current prices are on the Kointage DEX pricing page.

How to get started with Kointage DEX

1. Sign in with your Kointage account, or create one on kointage.com.
2. Connect a wallet you already use — Phantom, Solflare, Backpack or any Wallet Standard wallet — and sign the one-time message that proves it is yours.
3. Fund it with SOL or USDC on the Solana network. Never send from another network such as Ethereum; those funds would not arrive. Card purchases are not available.
4. Research, then trade: open a token, read its facts, ask the AI, get a live quote and sign the swap in your wallet.

Access is currently through the waitlist on trade.kointage.com.

What Kointage DEX is not

Kointage DEX is software for researching and trading crypto tokens on Solana. Its terms state that it is not a broker, exchange, custodian or investment adviser, and that it offers no stocks, forex, commodities, leverage or other securities products. Tokenized stocks, ETFs, treasuries and other real-world or securities-linked assets are excluded even when an aggregator lists them. Some Token-2022 features are blocked outright — non-transferable tokens, for example — and others, such as transfer fees or transfer hooks, require you to acknowledge the risk before trading.

The DEX is not offered in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, or to anyone subject to sanctions.

It is also open about where it stands today. Its DEX terms, privacy notice and risk disclosure are published as drafts awaiting legal review; until they are final, the Kointage Terms and Privacy Policy apply. Its security page states that it has not yet had an independent security audit, and that it will link the report once one is completed.

The risks, stated plainly

Nothing in Kointage DEX — its data, its AI output, its news or this article — is investment advice. The DEX's risk disclosure sets out what anyone trading on chain should keep in mind:

• Volatility. Crypto tokens can lose most or all of their value quickly. New and thinly traded tokens are especially risky.
• Liquidity. Thin pools move sharply on small trades. Being able to buy a token does not mean you will be able to sell it.
• Token rules. Issuers can keep powers — minting, freezing accounts, transfer fees or hooks — that change what holding a token means.
• Irreversibility. Signed transactions cannot be undone, and sending to a wrong address loses the funds.
• Third parties. Routing, quotes and orders depend on Jupiter and on Solana itself, which can fail, be delayed or change.

Why it is built this way

Facts instead of a safety score, "unknown means unknown", every transaction checked and then signed by you, an AI that can draft but never sign: the choices in Kointage DEX follow the principle that runs through every OXS Corp product. Technology should leave people better informed without taking decisions away from them. It is the same idea behind Kointage's research-first approach, Caildus's reviewable diffs and Earvance's approval-gated irrigation, set out on the philosophy page.

Who builds Kointage DEX

Kointage DEX is part of Kointage, and both are built by OXS Corp, a technology company registered in Wyoming, United States, and known publicly as OXS Holdings. The DEX's own footer credits oxsholdings.com, and its terms describe it as software provided by OXS Corp. OXS Corp also builds Caildus, an AI development companion, and Earvance, an agricultural intelligence concept.
