The difference between DEX and CEX

We will find out about both things in the crypto world.

DEX is an acronym for Decentralized Exchange and CEX is an acronym for Centralized Exchange. Let's review what DEX and CEX are and the differences between the two.

What are DEXs?

DEX or Decentralized Exchange is a peer to peer (P2P) platform that connects buyers and sellers to exchange and trade crypto assets.

DEX uses smart contracts and utilizes blockchain technology with a decentralized concept.

Later, every transaction on the DEX will be recorded on the blockchain without any centralized authority.

DEX has a decentralized nature that allows everyone to carry out trading activities of buying and selling crypto assets using smart contracts.

DEX Example:

• PancakeSwaps
• UniSwap
• SushiSwap

What is CEX?

Furthermore, CEX or Centralized Exchange is a platform for trading and exchange of crypto assets that is regulated by a centralized company or institution.

CEX exists as a third party that facilitates buyers and sellers of crypto assets to store and buy and sell crypto assets.

Within CEX, trading volume of crypto assets is higher when compared to DEX.

There are a number of CEXs in Indonesia which are very popular in the crypto world.

Here's a CEX example:

• Indodax
• TokoCrypto
• Binance

The difference between DEX and CEX

The difference between DEX and CEX broadly lies in whether or not there is a centralized company or institution that is a third party to store and bring together sellers and buyers of crypto assets.

DEX is known not to involve third parties to store crypto assets.

However, DEX uses smart contracts in selling and buying crypto assets.

Meanwhile, CEX is under the auspices of a centralized company or organization that has a role as a third party.

To carry out crypto investment activities you can use CEX or DEX.

Of course, you can choose which exchange to invest in after knowing the difference between DEX and CEX.

For information, crypto investment is a high-risk thing.

Make sure that the decision you make to invest is the result of the research you did.
