# UI/UX

AX is **built for traders**. The interface is designed to feel **familiar on day one**, while remaining **scalable for advanced workflows** as trading needs evolve.

To accommodate different operating styles, AX provides **two UI modes**:

* **CEX Mode**: a streamlined, CEX-style layout optimized for **clarity**, **low-friction execution**, and fast onboarding.
* **DEX Mode**: a DeFi-native layout that exposes **deeper controls** and **greater flexibility** for advanced execution and strategy management.

Both modes connect to the same **core trading system**, with consistent **matching logic** and **risk controls**. Users can switch interfaces based on preference without compromising **performance**, **execution consistency**, or **protection**.
