The Future of Decentralized Exchanges and Centralized Exchanges

Mon 25th Mar 2024
According to the news content, the future of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) lies in a few major protocols adopting a divide and conquer approach to liquidity and blockchain networks. These protocols will aggregate and route across each other from major wallets. The future of centralized exchanges (CEXs) is to wrap and run nodes from this 'meta protocol'. The news mentions that TC works with Chainflip, Maya_Protocol, and soon SeraiDEX, stating that it will be impossible to ignore and shut down. The ecosystem being built around TC, Chainflip, Maya, and application layer projects is described as the DEX play, with no other alternative for those wanting DEXs to surpass CEXs.
