Camelot DEX review

A swap costs a taker fee of 0.3%. The median taker fee across decentralised venues is 0.05%, so Camelot charges more than the typical one of that kind, and the cost score part reflects that at 3. Frequent traders will feel that difference quickly.

53 coins are listed, which places Camelot at rank 94 of 172 brands on that measure. The median across decentralised venues is 69, so the list is close to typical for the category. Expect solid coverage without a deep tail of very small tokens.

Yes. Self-custody is one of its listed features, alongside staking (self custody and staking), so your assets stay under keys you control rather than sitting as a balance on the platform. That removes the custodian risk that comes with centralised venues, and it puts the job of securing the wallet on you.

Staking is part of the feature set (self custody and staking), so the same venue that handles swaps also lets you put assets to work. Staking appears in 44.8% of decentralised venues, which makes it a common draw here rather than an unusual extra.

Support runs on community, which means answers come from other users and public channels rather than a desk with a published response time. If a swap fails or a fee looks wrong, you are searching for the answer yourself, so read the venue's own documentation before trading.

Camelot DEX was founded in 2023, making it a Young Platform by the standards of the category. Young does not mean untested, but it does mean a shorter track record than longer established venues and fewer years of fee history to compare against.

The trade-off runs through custody. Self-custody covers 89.7% of decentralised venues, while 78.8% of conventional exchanges hold assets for you. Camelot sits on the first side of that line, so you bring your own wallet.

Its overall score is 3.6, split into a cost part of 3 and an offer part of 4.6. The offer side carries it, which lines up with the feature set, while the cost side is the weaker part of the picture.
