## What Deriv Is


Deriv is a technology-driven, compliance-first global broker. It operates proprietary platforms alongside industry-standard platforms. It distinguishes between market-linked assets (sensitive to global events) and Synthetic Indices (proprietary 24/7 simulated markets based on a cryptographically secure random number generator, audited by independent third parties).
