CEX vs DEX 101 is a beginner’s guide to understanding two types of crypto exchanges:
CEX (Centralized Exchange) – Run by companies (e.g., Binance, Coinbase). Easy to use, faster, but requires trust in the platform.
DEX (Decentralized Exchange) – No central authority (e.g., Uniswap). Users trade directly from their wallets. More private, but can be slower and complex.
This guide helps you choose the right platform based on control, security, and ease of use.
