Who uses the Centurion Protocol?#
The Centurion Protocol is used by anyone who submits valid onchain transactions to its v2 or v3 contracts. Common users include swappers, liquidity providers, developers, token issuers, smart-account services, and analytics tools.
Swappers#
Swappers exchange one Centurion asset for another through available liquidity. They choose an input, output, amount, and slippage tolerance, then authorize the transaction from a wallet.
A swapper is responsible for verifying token contracts, reviewing price impact and minimum received, and keeping enough native CTN for Newton costs. CenturionDEX cannot reverse a confirmed swap or compensate for a malicious token.
Liquidity providers#
Liquidity providers supply assets to pools so swaps can execute.
- In v2, providers supply both assets at the current pool ratio and receive fungible CRC-20 LP tokens.
- In v3, providers choose a fee tier and price range, then receive a CRC-721 position NFT.
Providers may earn swap fees, but they also face impermanent loss, token risk, out-of-range periods, and network costs. Providing liquidity is not a guaranteed-return product.
Developers and integrators#
Developers can build interfaces, wallets, analytics, automation, or other contracts that read or call the protocol on the EVM-compatible CVM. An integration should independently verify current deployment information through official Centurion sources and handle approvals, wrapping, slippage, reverts, and token edge cases safely.
A third-party interface can prepare protocol transactions, but it may add its own code, data sources, or risks. The fact that it calls the Centurion Protocol does not make the interface official.
Token teams#
A token team may create or support liquidity for its CRC-20 token. Pool creation is not an endorsement by Centurion Labs. Teams remain responsible for accurate token metadata, transparent contract controls, and clear disclosure of transfer restrictions or upgrade authority.
No team can force independent liquidity providers to keep assets in a pool or guarantee a market price.
Data and monitoring services#
Explorers, indexers, charting tools, and risk systems read onchain events and contract state. Their displays can lag, omit pools, or calculate price differently. For a transaction decision, compare the service's information with the live CenturionDEX quote and your wallet simulation.
Common issues#
- A third-party site claims to be official without verifiable provenance.
- A token team treats pool creation as proof of review.
- An analytics page reports total liquidity but not active v3 liquidity.
- An automated strategy uses stale prices or an incorrect token orientation.
Stay safe#
Use current official sources to identify interfaces and contracts. Limit approvals, review every signature, and never share a recovery phrase, private key, or password with any user category or service provider.
