FAQs

What is a decentralized exchange?

A DEX is a trading venue where users keep custody of their funds and trade directly from wallets via smart contracts.

How is a DEX different from a CEX?

A DEX does not custody user funds; a CEX holds funds on behalf of users and acts as a central counterparty.

Why trade against USDT?

USDT provides relatively stable pricing, which simplifies valuation, accounting, and cross-pair comparisons.

Are DEX trades reversible?

Most on-chain DEX transactions are final once confirmed; understand a trade before signing it.

What is an AMM?

An Automated Market Maker uses liquidity pools and pricing formulas instead of an order book to quote trades.

Do I need a wallet to use a DEX?

Yes — most DEX activity requires a self-custodial wallet that can sign transactions.
