Emergency exit · $CEXIT on Corium
In case of exchange collapse, use nearest exit
$CEXIT is a memecoin and a boycott. Pull your coins off centralized exchanges, hold your own keys, and take crypto back from the people who sold it to you as a casino.
Announced on X at launch
01 · The thesis
A number in a database can be changed. Coins in your own wallet can't.
I've been in crypto for more than ten years. For every one of them, I've hated and feared centralized exchanges.
CEXs are dangerous for people. They take your coins, hand you a number on a screen and call it your balance. It isn't. It's a row in their database, and anyone with admin access can freeze it, lend it out or set it to zero.
Crypto was made for self custody. That was the whole point. Somewhere along the way, exchanges and institutions drowned it out with a louder story: get rich overnight, flip it for more dollars, repeat.
CEXIT is my flag for the original story. Pull your coins out. Hold your own keys. Remember what this was for.
— the dev · 10+ years in, still holding my own keys
02 · Rows vs blocks
On an exchange, your balance is a row in somebody else's database. Whoever has admin can freeze it, lend it out or set it to zero. In your own wallet, nothing moves without your signature.
admin@exchange:~$ UPDATE balances SET balance = 0, status = 'paused' WHERE user = 'you';UPDATE 1-- "Withdrawals are temporarily paused to protect our users."
admin@exchange:~$ UPDATE wallet SET balance = 0 WHERE owner = 'you';ERROR: no admin. no database. no undo.→ these coins move only with a signature from your key.
Same 1 BTC. One is a promise. The other is a fact.
03 · The narrative
Exchanges and institutions had the biggest megaphones, so their story drowned out the real one: crypto as a machine for turning dollars into more dollars, overnight. That was never the point.
Crypto was built so you'd never have to hand your money to anyone.
Your keys, your coins. Anything else is an IOU with a logo on it.
Don't trust, verify. Open code and math instead of promises and press releases.
No headquarters to raid, no CEO to flee, no single switch that shuts it off.
Nobody can lend out, gamble or freeze coins that only you can sign for.
Pseudonymous by default. Holding your own money shouldn't need a selfie with your passport.
Send value across the planet for a fraction of a wire fee, with no middleman stacking spreads on top.
Same rails in Lagos, Lisbon and Lima. No banking hours, no borders, no permission slip.
Hold the currency you believe in, not the one you're stuck with.
04 · The graveyard
Until the withdrawals stopped. This is public record, not a hot take. Don't take our word for it: look every one of them up.
Once the biggest Bitcoin exchange on earth. Around 850,000 BTC went missing. Creditors waited about a decade to start getting repaid.
Canada's largest exchange. The founder died, supposedly taking the only keys with him. Investigators later found most customer money was already gone.
A major Turkish exchange went dark overnight. Its CEO left the country while hundreds of thousands of users were locked out.
Promised yield on your deposits. Froze every withdrawal in June 2022 and filed for bankruptcy a month later.
Top-three exchange, celebrity ads, a stadium with its name on it. Collapsed in about a week with roughly $8 billion of customer money missing. Its founder was convicted of fraud.
About $1.5 billion in ETH drained from one exchange wallet, the largest crypto hack on record. The exchange covered it. This time.
Also: Bitfinex (2016), Cryptopia (2019), Voyager (2022), BlockFi (2022), and the list keeps growing.
05 · How to CEXIT
Takes an afternoon. Works for the rest of your life.
A hardware wallet is best. A reputable open-source software wallet is a fine start. Only download it from the official site.
On paper or metal, offline. Never a screenshot, never a cloud note, never typed into a website. Whoever has those words has your coins.
Withdraw a small amount. Check the address character by character, and check you picked the right network.
Move everything else. Then look it up on a block explorer: that's your money, on a ledger nobody can edit.
06 · The meme
A memecoin on Solana, launched on Corium, for everyone who'd rather hold their own keys. No roadmap to riches, no promise of profit. It's a flag, a meme, and a reminder of what this was all supposed to be about.
Even the launch practices what it preaches. There's no exchange in the middle: you trade from your own wallet and sign every transaction yourself. When the bonding curve fills at 85 SOL, the liquidity moves into a Meteora pool that's locked forever.
Announced on X at launch
The only official contract address is the one posted here and on @cexit_gg. Anyone DMing you a different one is a scammer.
07 · Buy without an exchange
No sign-up, no deposit, no exchange sitting on your SOL. This box asks Corium for a buy transaction and hands it to your wallet. You read it, and you sign it.
This switches on the moment the contract is posted here and on @cexit_gg. Until then there's nothing to buy, and anyone selling you $CEXIT is lying.
Selling, the chart and the supernova bounty are on corium.so ↗
08 · The burn wall
Burn $CEXIT and leave a message: the exchange that froze you, the coins you never got back, why you left. The message goes on Solana in the same transaction as the burn. There's no database behind this wall, so nobody can edit a brick or pull one out. Not even us.
The wall starts at launch. Brick #1 could be yours.
Drag to look around · tap a brick to read it
Opens with the contract at launch. Until then there's nothing to burn.
Every brick is a Solana transaction that burns $CEXIT and sends 0 SOL to CEXiTBurnWa11111111111111111111111111111111. That address is a name, not a wallet: nobody has its key. This button skips our server, reads every one of those transactions from any Solana RPC you pick, and checks each brick on this page against it.
This site hides the message on 0 bricks.
09 · Bank Run
A tiny game, right in your browser. Grab your coins, but they're only safe once a key or an EXIT gets them into self custody. Crash while they're still on the exchange and they're gone. Sound familiar?
Works on your phone. No wallet, no sign-up.
