Brave’s announcement of launching decentralized exchange or DEX is a major addition to its scope. By launching DEX, Brave is entering a multi-billion dex market.
For instance, Uniswap is the classical example of a decentralized exchange, which is also the single largest DEX platform in the DeFi
market.
Decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, as their name suggest, are different from the centralized exchanges like Binance and Coinbase that are Centralized as they act as intermediaries for the users.
In DEX’s one can exchange coins without the involvement of any intermediaries party. On the contrary to Centralized Exchanges, DEX’s users can exchange coins without any adequate demand or supply been created.
“One of our goals is to make tokens and crypto easy to use for all of our users,” Brave CEO and co-founder Brendan Eich told Decrypt. “The custom DEX which we plan to explore could help achieve this goal by enabling users to exchange BAT and other assets at lower fees, and with better user interface and security, by being built into Brave.”
