#CEXvsDEX101 Understanding the Difference
Centralized Exchanges (CEX) and Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) are two primary platforms for trading cryptocurrencies, but they function very differently.
CEX (Centralized Exchange): These are traditional platforms like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. A central authority manages the exchange, holds your funds, and executes your trades. CEXs offer high liquidity, fast transaction speeds, and user-friendly interfaces. However, they come with risks like hacks, outages, and custody of your assets. You’re trusting a third party to manage your funds.
DEX (Decentralized Exchange): Examples include Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and dYdX. DEXs operate on blockchain technology using smart contracts. You trade directly from your wallet without intermediaries. This ensures privacy, full control over your assets, and reduced risk of centralized failure. However, DEXs often have lower liquidity, higher fees during network congestion, and can be tricky for beginners.
Key Difference:
CEX = Convenience & Speed, but with Custody Risk.
DEX = Security & Control, but with Complexity.
Both have pros and cons depending on your trading needs. Beginners may prefer CEXs for ease, while crypto purists favor DEXs for decentralization. Knowing both helps you make smarter, safer moves in the crypto space.

🧠 Rujira isn’t a L2, why that matters more than you think !
Most blockchains scale by extending outward: launching Layer 2s, deploying rollups, and bridging assets between execution environments.
👉But THORChain is taking a different path.
@RujiraNetwork isn’t a rollup, nor an optimistic sidechain, and not a separate virtual machine either.
⚙️ It’s an embedded application layer, running inside THORChain’s base chain, secured by the same validator set, governed by the same consensus, and producing blocks on the same schedule.
And that design choice matters. Here’s why. ⤵️
