#CEXvsDEX101 🚀 | Deep Dive into Trading Fundamentals 🚀
🔒 CEX (e.g.: Binance)
• Simple UX, high liquidity, 24/7 support, and fiat in/out.
• Custody is with the broker → KYC requirement and risk of hacks/regulators.
🌀 DEX (e.g.: Uniswap)
• Total self-custody, 24/7 swaps without KYC, rapid token listing.
• Network fees and liquidity vary; UX, slippage, and gas can scare beginners.
💡 How do I choose?
Platform security, pair liquidity, fees, compliance with my country, and reputation (audits or history of exploits).
🎯 Personal use
• CEX for large orders, fiat on/off-ramp, and futures.
• DEX for newly launched tokens, farming, and when I want to maintain self-custody.
👶 First time on DEX?
1️⃣ Start with a new wallet and a low amount.
2️⃣ Check the token contract — clones are common.
3️⃣ Adjust slippage and review gas fees before confirming.
4️⃣ Never share your seed; a hardware wallet is your best friend.
