# Trading & Liquidity

⚠️ **Disclaimer:** This page is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, or legal advice. Token values can fluctuate and all participation involves risk. Always do your own research before trading or providing liquidity.\
\
**Overview**

ASK is available for trading on decentralized exchanges. The primary liquidity venue is **Aerodrome Finance**, the leading DEX on Base, Coinbase's Layer 2 network.

Trading ASK requires a compatible EVM wallet and access to the Base network. See [Contract Addresses](https://docs.permission.ai/ask-token/contract-addresses) for official token contract details before trading.
