# Backing Asset Custody

SoDEX is built on an institutional-grade custody architecture designed to deliver uncompromising asset security with full on-chain transparency. To eliminate single-point-of-failure risks and ensure maximum resilience, SoDEX partners with multiple top-tier custodians, including [**Cobo**](https://cobo.com/)**,** [**Ceffu**](https://ceffu.com/)**,** and [**Coinbase**](https://www.coinbase.com/prime/custody), all of which are globally recognized for their regulatory standards and secure infrastructure.

#### **Multi-Custodian Institutional Safeguards**

* All user assets deposited into SoDEX are held in segregated custody accounts managed by institutional custody providers.
* These custodians employ industry-leading security practices such as MPC key management, qualified trust structures, and insurance-backed protection.
* The multi-custodian design ensures redundancy and risk dispersion, significantly reducing systemic vulnerability that could result from reliance on a single institution.

#### **On-Chain Transparency via Mirror Protocol**

* Through Mirror Protocol, assets held with custodians are tokenized 1:1 on ValueChain.
* The mirrored tokens serve as representations of the custodied assets and can be verified on-chain in real time.
* This architecture enables users to trade with the speed and transparency of DeFi, while benefiting from the security and regulatory assurance of institutional custody.
