# Choosing an Exchange

{% hint style="info" %}
Symmio subnets or simply **Brokers** are protocols that are built ontop of our settlement Layer, and actively offer and settle derivatives on SYMM, also referred to as **Brokers** or **Frontend Builders**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}

## Trading on SYMMIO

The Symmio Foundation does not operate its own Brokerage or engages in any Derivatives offerings, to ensure censorship resistance of the underlying bilateral & intent technology, the foundation only provides the infrastructure for third parties to provide such services. To interact with the protocol, users may choose from the list of Brokers & Subnet Operators below.\
\
Again, to be clear, there is no trading taking place directly via <https://symm.io>
