FAQ
What is a decentralized exchange (DEX)?
A decentralized exchange is a platform that facilitates cryptocurrency trading directly between users via smart contracts, without relying on a central authority to hold funds or match orders.
How do DEXs differ from centralized exchanges?
Unlike centralized exchanges, DEXs operate on-chain and allow users to retain custody of their assets throughout the trading process. Trades are executed through smart contracts rather than an order book managed by a central entity.
What types of DEX models exist?
Common DEX models include automated market makers (AMMs), order book-based DEXs, and DEX aggregators. Each model handles liquidity and trade execution differently.
What should I consider when researching a DEX?
Key factors include supported blockchain networks, available trading pairs, liquidity depth, smart contract audit history, and the fee structure of the protocol.
