# Principles

1. Leveraging the intrinsic benefits of Hedera Hashgraph (i.e. high speed and low cost) to offer a premium DEX experience. <br>
2. Continuously refining our intuitive UI that appeals to crypto veterans as well as those who are new to the space.<br>
3. Being a trusted platform for those new to the space by providing educational material and tutorials to help guide users on every step of their journey.<br>
4. Being a fully decentralized platform through the use of governance voting and operating as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). <br>
5. Operating from a community-first perspective that puts the health of the ecosystem as a whole above the individual desires of its developers.&#x20;
