# Our Platform

## Overview

Bee Trade Finance is architected as a hybrid decentralized exchange, combining the advantages of centralized order execution with the security and transparency of blockchain settlement.

The platform operates on Avalanche, chosen for its high throughput, sub-second finality, and low gas fees — ensuring seamless execution without compromising on decentralization.
