#CEXvsDEX101

CEXs are run by companies, offer high liquidity, user-friendly interfaces, and customer support, but require you to trust them with your funds and personal information.

DEXs let you trade directly from your own wallet, giving you full control and privacy, but they can be harder to use, may have lower liquidity, and lack fiat support.

Neither is objectively better; the choice depends on your priorities: convenience and support (CEX) vs. privacy and control (DEX).
