# Why Reya Exists Global Capital Markets are moving onchain to Ethereum because it is credibly neutral, has never had downtime and has the economic security capable of supporting the world’s financial system. However, Ethereum isn’t fast enough to support trading - it wasn’t built for it. Meanwhile, attempts to build fast onchain trading environments have led teams to centralize parts of the trading system. This creates security, reliability and neutrality concerns for a system designed to be global. These concerns are in direct conflict with the benefits Ethereum provides, and why it has been chosen as the chain for global finance. Reya exists to solve these issues - delivering a DEX with institutional-grade execution and Ethereum-level security. One that is as fast as TradFi but simultaneously secure, reliable and credibly neutral. In doing so, we won’t just create a ‘faster DEX’. Instead, we will create a credible path for price-discovery to move onchain to Ethereum. In turn, creating a **foundation for open markets and globally accessible capital formation.** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
