Exchanges

Exchanges serve as the most common example of cryptocurrency usage today.

Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)

Decentralized exchanges are crypto-native marketplaces that algorithmically determine the price between two or more assets. These exchanges use an automated market maker to instantly fill orders using a price defined by an algorithm.

Centralized Exchanges (CEXs)

Centralized exchanges define places tokens are traded and managed by a central order book, similar to traditional financial systems.
