  • DEXs As The Only Real Exchanges in Crypto
    5 min readApr 5
    The blockchain entails decentralization. However, paradoxically, the exchanges that have operated in the blockchain and crypto space since its inception were all centralized. If we look at the landscape of cryptocurrency exchanges and examine their development from the standpoint of their basis, detached from the legal and regulatory requirements, we will notice that all of the major ones like Binance were deployed by a group of people who later took custody of the legal entity and the funds entrusted to it by the users. The collapse of several exchanges like FTX in 2022 and the ensuing crackdown on the part of the US Securities and Exchan

    A decentralized exchange is a platform that specializes in the trade of digital assets like cryptocurrencies and NFTs. By virtue of being based on the blockchain, a decentralized exchange, or DEX, can access the network and perform all of the same operations like a centralized exchange. However, unlike its centralized counterpart, a decentralized exchange does not act as an intermediary legal entity – it allows users to interact on a peer-to-peer basis, providing them merely with the interface and infrastructure facilities needed. All decentralized exchanges perform trustless operations by relying on automated smart contracts that act as c

  • Liquidity providers on DEXes

    A liquidity pool is a basis for DeFi that does not have an exact equivalent in the classical financial system. In simple terms, a liquidity pool is a smart contract where a certain number of tokens is blocked so that any DeFi participants can use them for exchanges, crediting, blockchain games, profitable yield farming, and other operations. Decentralized exchanges (DEX) that use automated market making (AMM) work on liquidity pools. The providers who bring liquidity to the pool receive compensation when traders use their funds. Liquidity pool users get immediate access to the tokens they exchange. There are no intermediaries in this proce

    You can learn about the differences between Decentralized (DEX) and Centralized (CEX) Exchanges here . Now we’ll briefly cover how to trade on a DEX. The exchange process itself is extremely simple. You do not need to register on the exchange, make a deposit to trade, or submit your personal data to the exchange operator. You just connect your crypto wallet and immediately see all the tokens available to exchange. Then you choose what you want to exchange and confirm the transaction – and the tokens you acquired are instantly transferred to your wallet. There are no centralized intermediary companies involved in this transaction; the ex

  • Listing on DEXes

    IDO (Initial DEX Offering) is the initial offer of tokens on a decentralized exchange (DEX) and, at the same time, is currently the most popular method of crypto crowdfunding. This method is beneficial to both startups and investors. Unlike ICO (Initial Coin Offering) and IEO (Initial Exchange Offering), the requirements for investors and developers are minimal, and the token is listed on the DEX immediately after token minting, IDO, and creation of the liquidity pool. Typical IDO procedure goes as follows: 1. Preparation – working on the website, white paper, yellow paper, and social networking to create a community. 2. Presale – th

    2 min readFeb 7
    It is well-known that decentralized exchanges do not have a central node or server, and work without administrators or any particular management body. All transactions are conducted without intermediaries. However, this does not mean that cryptocurrency traders are the only DEX participants, even though the exchange itself was created specifically for them. Key participants of DEXes: Traders – participants who exchange one kind of token for another. Liquidity providers – cryptocurrency owners ready to deposit their cryptocurrency in liquidity pools, which serve as the base of the entire DeFi system. To put it simply, liquidity provid
