Decentralized Exchange Platforms to Favor Market

A decentralized exchange (DEX) is a peer-to-peer marketplace for cryptocurrency buyers and sellers. In contrast to centralized exchanges (CEXs), decentralized platforms are non-custodial, which means that a user retains custody of their private keys when dealing on a DEX platform. In the absence of a central authority, DEXs use smart contracts that execute themselves under predetermined conditions and record each transaction on the blockchain. Uniswap, Sushiswap, 1inch, and PancakeSwap are examples of popular DEX protocols.

Non-fungible tokens – An Opportunity in Decentralized Finance

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are immutable, verifiable cryptographic assets that can represent anything from trading cards to artwork to VIP passes. Recently, NFTs have increased their market share and are soon becoming one of DeFi's largest markets. Blockchain platforms such as Axie Infinity, The Sandbox, and Illivium use in-game play-to-earn systems to reward gamers with various sorts of NFTs. Leading NFT marketplaces, such as Nifty Gateway, have established themselves as the preferred platforms for purchasing and trading NFT cryptoart.
