Scope of the Report

A decentralized exchange (DEX) is a digital asset trading system built on blockchain technology. Its core feature is that it doesn't rely on a centralized third-party institution to custodian user funds or facilitate trades. Transactions are automatically executed through smart contracts, with assets held by users. Order matching and settlement are all completed on-chain, enhancing transparency and security while mitigating the risks of single points of failure and manipulation. DEXs typically support token swaps, liquidity mining, and derivatives trading, forming a crucial piece of infrastructure within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The downstream customers of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) primarily include individual investors, institutional investors, DeFi application developers, stablecoin issuers, and liquidity providers, who utilize the platforms for token swaps, asset allocation, yield farming, and cross-chain asset transfers. With the expansion of the cryptoasset market and increasing regulatory clarity, DEXs are becoming increasingly prominent in the cryptofinance ecosystem. Platforms generate profits through transaction fees, liquidity fee sharing, and the appreciation of governance tokens. Because operations primarily rely on smart contracts, labor and infrastructure costs are relatively low, resulting in generally high gross profit margins, typically reaching around 83%.

The rise of decentralized trading platforms (DEX) marks a profound change in the traditional financial system brought about by blockchain technology. It breaks the monopoly of centralized institutions and reduces trading risks through decentralization, user-controlled assets, and enhanced privacy protection. However, DEX still faces challenges such as insufficient liquidity, complex user experience, and compliance supervision. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the increase in user demand, DEX is expected to become a more mainstream financial infrastructure and promote a more open and inclusive financial ecosystem.
