CEX to DEX Bridge

Definition

A CEX to DEX bridge facilitates the movement of digital assets between centralized and decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges. This mechanism permits users to transfer tokens from a centralized exchange, where assets are held by an intermediary, to a decentralized exchange, operating on a peer-to-peer blockchain network. Such a bridge typically involves a process of wrapping or tokenizing assets to ensure compatibility across different blockchain protocols. It addresses the liquidity and accessibility differences between these distinct trading environments, enabling broader participation in decentralized finance.
