#CEXvsDEX101
Binance Square is currently hosting a community discussion under the hashtag #CEXvsDEX101, inviting users to explore the differences between Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) and Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs). Participants are encouraged to share their insights and experiences, contributing to a broader understanding of these platforms.
๐ Understanding CEXs and DEXs
Centralized Exchanges (CEXs), such as Binance and Coinbase, offer user-friendly interfaces, high liquidity, and customer support. They facilitate fiat conversions and provide faster transactions. However, they require users to trust the platform with their funds and personal information, as users do not hold their private keys .
Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs), like Uniswap and PancakeSwap, allow users to trade directly from their wallets, maintaining control over their private keys. They offer greater privacy and are less susceptible to regulatory interventions. On the downside, DEXs may have lower liquidity, slower transaction speeds, and can be more complex for beginners .

Binance encourages users to participate by sharing their perspectives on topics such as:
The pros and cons of using CEXs versus DEXs
Personal preferences and scenarios for choosing one over the other
