CEX vs DEX 101: What You Need to Know! 🔄
In the crypto world, where you trade matters just as much as what you trade. Here's a quick guide to understand the basics:
🚨 CEX (Centralized Exchange)
✅ User-friendly (great for beginners)
✅ High liquidity & fast trades
✅ Customer support
🔒 You trust a central authority to hold your funds
Examples: Binance, Coinbase, Kraken
🌀 DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
✅ Full control of your assets
✅ Privacy-focused — no KYC in most cases
✅ Supports DeFi & token swaps directly from your wallet
⚠️ Slower, sometimes less liquid
Examples: Uniswap, PancakeSwap, dYdX
⚖️ CEX is for convenience. DEX is for control.
Know your goals, choose your exchange wisely.
