Our verdict
Camelot DEX is a decentralised exchange where a taker fee of 0.3% and self-custody keep control of the keys with the user. It suits experienced traders who swap on-chain and want to hold their own assets rather than leave them with a platform account.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Taker fees of 0.3% sit close to the 0.2% charged across the exchanges we track
- Self-custody means the wallet, not the platform, holds the assets
- Staking is offered alongside swaps, so idle holdings can earn
- Only 53 coins are listed, which keeps the trading pair range narrow and easy to scan
Cons
- Support runs on community only, so a stuck withdrawal has no direct help line
- A narrow list of 53 coins rules out the long-tail pairs most custodial venues carry
- Founded in 2023, so there is a short track record of uptime to lean on
Who it suits
- Traders comfortable managing a wallet and paying network costs themselves
- Anyone who prioritises holding their own keys over a simple account login
- Long-term holders who want staking alongside swaps
Who should look elsewhere
- etoro, where a larger coin list and a regulated platform suit people who want a simple account
- bunq, which pairs a 0.25% to 1.99% fee with a bank app rather than a wallet
- vivid-plus, whose 2.25% crypto earn rate suits savers rather than active traders
How it compares on our data
On coins listed, Camelot DEX ranks 99 of 176 brands, with 53 coins available. That is a short list against exchanges that run into the hundreds or thousands. On taker fee the picture is better: 80 of 121, with a fee of 0.3% set against a 0.2% median across the exchanges we track. The trade-off is narrow choice for a competitive cost.

Frequently asked questions
What does Camelot DEX charge to trade?+
The taker fee is 0.3% on swaps, which is a little above the 0.2% median across the exchanges we track. Because the platform is a decentralised exchange, users also pay their own network gas for on-chain activity. No account or subscription fee is stated.
Is my money held by the platform?+
Camelot DEX runs on self-custody, so assets stay in the wallet rather than on a platform account. That removes the custodian risk that comes with centralised exchanges. In return, users are responsible for their own keys and backups.
Which coins can I trade on Camelot DEX?+
The listed range is 53 coins, which is narrow next to exchanges carrying hundreds or thousands. On our data it ranks 99 of 176 brands for coins listed. Traders wanting major pairs are covered, but long-tail assets are not.
Can I earn on coins I hold?+
Staking is one of the features offered, so idle holdings can work for a return while they sit in the wallet. Because the platform is self-custody, the reward comes from the chain rather than from a platform account. Returns move with the market.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on community only, so there is no direct email, chat or phone channel listed. For a decentralised exchange this matters, because a stuck transaction usually needs wallet-level troubleshooting rather than an account reset. Learning the wallet before trading is worth the time.
Is Camelot DEX a good fit for beginners?+
Not really. A self-custody decentralised exchange asks users to manage keys, gas and network choice, which is more to learn than a simple account. A custodial platform such as etoro or bunq handles that side for a higher fee. Camelot DEX fits traders who already run a wallet.
When was Camelot DEX founded?+
It was founded in 2023, so the platform has a shorter operating record than the long-established exchanges in our rankings. Self-custody reduces reliance on the operator, but uptime history is still short. Consider starting with small balances.
Does Camelot DEX offer regulated protection on balances?+
No regulator or protection scheme is listed for Camelot DEX, which is consistent with a decentralised exchange where assets sit in the user's own wallet. A centralised venue can name a regulator and a compensation scheme instead. That is the trade-off for keeping self-custody.
