What is the difference between centralized platforms (CEX) and decentralized platforms (DEX)?
In the crypto world, there are two main platforms for trading digital currencies:
🔹 Centralized Platform (CEX):
Like Binance, managed by a central entity.
Provides an easy interface, technical support, and advanced trading tools.
You must create an account and undergo identity verification (KYC).
🔹 Decentralized Platform (DEX):
Like Uniswap and PancakeSwap, no registration is needed.
Transactions are conducted directly between wallets using smart contracts.
Gives you complete control over your assets, but without central technical support.
