The exchange operates in Russia thanks to its registration in an offshore zone. We haven't encountered any problems on our end; the site works fine. The only thing is that accessing the help on Zendesk requires a VPN. The instructions there aren't the best, but experienced users will figure it out quickly. Overall, there's nothing outstanding about the exchange: it offers spot and futures trading, ETFs, copy trading, and some not-so-essential features like loans that many exchanges are currently offering. It's better to go through verification to avoid questions in the future. Although it's not mandatory for trading (if you don't plan to work with fiat), basic limits will be sufficient for an average trader. There aren't many trading pairs on the spot market, all pairs are with USDT. However, the liquidity is good, and all popular coins are represented, so trading can be done without any issues.
