Decentralized and Centralized Exchanges
Exchanges are platform that allows the trading of Cryptocurrencies i.e where you buy and sell coins.
Centralized Exchanges are exchanges that are owned by centralized or private authorities and you need to create an account and also perform a KYC verification to be able to use them. Examples of centralized Exchanges are Binance, coinbase, kucoin and the likes.
Decentralized Exchanges on the other hands are now owned by anyone, you don't need to register an account or require KYC to be able to use decentralized Exchanges. All you need is just a wallet like trust wallet that has a dapps browser to be able to connect with the decentralized Exchange. DEX has an advantage over CEX and also has some risk as well. The advantages is that it's easy to use and doesn't need KYC or registration of any kind and it's cheaper as well with less fees. The disadvantage or risk involved is that since it's decentralized, it's an opportunity for scammers to deploy scam tokens and begin to scam people buy either selling worthless tokens, rugpulling and various other risk involved. Examples of DEX are UNiswap, pancakeswap, burgerswap, julswap etc.
