Lava Exchange

Lava Exchange is an exchange aggregator that allows Lava users to buy and sell assets directly to self-custody.

Any time you buy bitcoin, you’re faced with a variety of options for which exchange to choose in order to get the best price. In addition, bitcoin that you purchase on exchanges remains there until you take action to withdraw it to self custody. Lava Exchange solves both of these issues— it automatically routes your order to the exchange with the lowest fees and delivers the bitcoin directly to your self-custodial Lava Vault.

How Does Lava Exchange Work?

There are many bitcoin exchanges all over the world; each one offers slightly different pricing, and many only serve specific regions. Lava Exchange aggregates data from all of these exchanges on an ongoing basis. We take this market data, along with your location, and route your order to whichever exchange offers the best pricing and execution for your order. All of this happens automatically within the Lava Vault— you never have to leave the app, and your assets are sent to you in self-custody as soon as the order executes.

Lava Exchange integrates both centralized exchanges (for bitcoin and digital dollars) and decentralized exchanges (for digital dollars, where applicable). Lava Exchange allows you to make purchase orders using bitcoin, digital dollars, or dollars in your bank account, and you can also withdraw money to your bank account with the lowest fees available.

To get started with Lava Exchange, download the Lava app and follow the instructions to set up your vault.
