Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) serve as peer-to-peer marketplaces within the world of cryptocurrency, linking buyers and sellers in an environment that is non-custodial and lacks a centralized governing authority. In contrast to Centralized Exchanges (CEXs), the trade process on DEXs is not controlled by a single entity, nor is there an order book maintenance responsibility. What makes DEXs compelling is the combination of the freedom they offer to traders and the enhanced security measures, thanks to the use of smart contracts. DEX aggregators even streamline the process by sourcing liquidity from multiple DEXs for the best trade. In the realm of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), DEXs are a cornerstone, embodying the essence of decentralization. Discover below an array of tokens that are part and parcel of this dynamic category.
