Frequently asked questions

What is DDEX?

DDEX is a decentralized exchange that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without a central intermediary. Instead of depositing funds into an exchange-controlled account, trades happen directly from the user's own wallet. This model is often referred to as non-custodial trading.

Is DDEX a centralized or decentralized exchange?

DDEX is fully decentralized — it's a DEX, not a centralized exchange (CEX). That means users keep control of their private keys and funds throughout the trading process. The trade-off is that features and liquidity may differ from what you'd find on large centralized platforms.

When was DDEX founded?

DDEX was founded in late 2017, at the height of interest in decentralized trading infrastructure. It was part of the first generation of DEXs that appeared as alternatives to centralized exchanges. The project launched during a period when many traders were actively exploring non-custodial options.

What should users pay attention to when using DDEX?

As with any decentralized exchange, check the current liquidity and available trading pairs before committing to a trade, since these can vary significantly. Make sure you understand how wallet connections and transaction fees work, as these differ from centralized exchanges. It's also wise to verify the platform's current operational status, as the DEX landscape changes quickly.
