LuniSwap Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)
A decentralized exchange (DEX) is a type of cryptocurrency exchange that operates on a decentralized blockchain network instead of a centralized platform. In a DEX, users can trade cryptocurrencies directly with each other using a peer-to-peer network, without the need for an intermediary.
Decentralized exchanges work by creating smart contracts on the blockchain that act as the exchange's order book and matching engine. These smart contracts execute trades automatically when the conditions of a trade are met, such as when a buyer's bid matches a seller's offer.
Because DEXs operate on a decentralized network, they offer several advantages over centralized exchanges, including :
Security: Decentralized exchanges do not hold users' funds or private keys, making them less susceptible to hacks and thefts.
Privacy: Users can trade cryptocurrencies without needing to provide personal information or go through a verification process.
Decentralization: There is no single point of failure, meaning that the exchange cannot be shut down or censored by any central authority.
Access: Anyone can participate in a DEX as long as they have a compatible wallet and an internet connection.
