# Why Use Arbital?

## Buy anything in one app

Cryptocurrency, stocks, perps - normally each one lives on a different platform with its own signup, its own wallet setup, its own learning curve. Arbital puts them all behind one interface. If you can buy one asset, you can buy any asset.

## Trade with the market, not alone

The social feed streams what traders are saying with sentiment tagged on every ticker - so you can move from narrative to position in one click. Leaderboards and trading competitions run natively in the terminal.

## Strategies that work while you sleep

Automated market making and grid strategies used to require quant teams and specialized infrastructure. With Arbital, you connect your own perp DEX account, set your budget and risk profile, and deploy market making in minutes. Pause, adjust, or stop anytime. Grid strategies are rolling out.

## Earn beyond the trade

Exchanges pay rewards for trading activity. Run a strategy through Arbital and you can earn from market-maker incentives and ecosystem incentives - the kind of rewards that used to go only to professional firms.

## Your keys, your funds

Arbital is non-custodial end to end. Trades execute from your own wallet and your own exchange accounts. We never hold your assets.
