# Introduction

Origami is a non-custodial trading terminal and bot platform for crypto exchanges. Start here.

Origami connects to your exchange accounts through API keys or a Web3 wallet and gives you one place to trade manually, run automated bots and build formula-driven grid strategies. Your funds stay on the exchange.
