What is Platforms?

In short

Whether a crypto tool runs in a browser, on a phone or across a set of blockchain networks decides how and where you can use it.

A platform is the place a crypto tool runs on: a web app you open in a browser, a mobile app on your phone, or a blockchain network that settles the trades. The list matters for practical reasons, since a tool with no mobile app is harder to use on the move and a tool limited to a few networks cannot follow assets that sit elsewhere. 3Commas runs on web and mobile. Bitget, Bitget (Trading Bots) and Bitsgap run on web, ios and android. Bancor works across Ethereum, Sei and Celo rather than through a single app, so its reach depends on the networks behind it.
