Decentralized exchanges (or DEX) are peer-to-peer marketplaces that facilitate direct trade between parties. DEXs are part of the broader ecosystem of Ethereum, which enables them to run on the blockchain.
They are different from traditional exchanges in that they don’t require customers to open accounts and deposit their funds with a middleman. Instead, they allow users to trade directly from their own wallets.
An easy way to understand a decentralized exchange (DEX) is to imagine a Craigslist listing where buyers and sellers make their own deals, without oversight, in order to exchange goods or services.
This peer-to-peer method of trading may sound risky, but thanks to smart contracts on the blockchain, transactions occur directly between two parties without the need for a middleman.
