⚔️ #CEXvsDEX101
Let’s break down the difference between Centralized Exchanges (CEX) and Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) 👇
🔹 CEX (Centralized Exchange)
🏢 Run by a company (like Binance, Coinbase)
🔐 You deposit crypto into their wallets
💳 Easier for beginners — fiat on-ramps
📈 High liquidity & fast transactions
⚠️ You don’t control your private keys
🔹 DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
🔓 Peer-to-peer — no middleman
👜 You keep control of your crypto wallet
🧠 Requires more knowledge (e.g., MetaMask, slippage, gas fees)
🚫 No KYC required
⏳ Slower but more secure from centralized hacks
🧠 Reminder:
"Not your keys, not your coins."
