Frequently asked questions
How much does Giottus charge to trade?+
Trading fees of 0.05% to 0.4% apply to taker trades and the same 0.05% to 0.4% range applies to maker orders, so a limit order sits at the lower end of the scale. That compares with a site median taker fee of 0.25%.
Are my coins held by Giottus?+
Yes, the platform is custodial, so the exchange holds assets on your behalf rather than in a wallet you control. Proof of reserves is not published, so there is no attestation to check holdings against.
Is Giottus regulated?+
It holds a VDA service provider registration in India, which is the only licence listed. That registration sits in India, so it does not stand in for a UK or European registration.
How do I fund my account?+
Fiat deposits run through bank, so a bank transfer is the listed route. Card and wallet options are not among the deposit methods shown.
What does it cost to withdraw?+
Withdrawal fees are network specific rather than a single rate, with a set amount for each of BTC, ETH and ATOM, while the INR withdrawal is free. The exact amount depends on the coin and network you pick.
Can I trade derivatives?+
Yes, derivatives are available on the platform, so futures style trading sits alongside spot orders. Those trades carry the same taker and maker fee scale of 0.05% to 0.4%.
How many coins can I buy?+
The exchange lists 130 coins, which places it around the middle of the exchanges compared here, whose median is 71.5. Listings change as new assets are added.
How do I get help?+
Support runs on email and community, so questions are answered by email and through the community rather than by phone. There is no phone line listed for urgent account problems.
