Decentralized Exchange Infrastructure

Definition

Decentralized exchange infrastructure refers to the underlying technological components and protocols that support peer-to-peer trading of digital assets without a central intermediary. This architecture typically involves smart contracts on a blockchain to facilitate order matching, trade execution, and asset custody. It removes the need for trusted third parties, granting users greater control over their funds and reducing counterparty risk. This system promotes censorship resistance and transparency in trading.
