As a decentralized exchange, DDEX does not rely on third parties to hold users’ assets (unlike large, centralized exchanges). The trading on DDEX occurs directly between buyers and sellers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network via an automated process. This way, there is no single point of failure.

On DDEX:

- it is designed to provide liquidity for Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens directly from users’ wallet (MetaMask, Ledger);

- it utilizes off-chain matching and on-chain settlement;

- it can list popular token pairs immediately;

- it allows users to exchange ERC-20 tokens directly from wallet to wallet;

- no possibility of theft;

- no uncertainty of deposit/withdrawal lockup periods;

- no withdrawal fees;
