DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
Transactions● Common
A trading platform enabling peer-to-peer cryptocurrency exchange without centralized custody. Users retain control of private keys during trades. Bitcoin DEXs include Bisq, HodlHodl, and RoboSats. Trade-off: less liquidity, more complexity.
Technical Notes
Mechanisms: atomic swaps, escrow scripts, multisig. Bisq: desktop app, decentralized orderbook, fiat trades. RoboSats: Lightning-based, Tor-native. No KYC typically required. Smart contract DEXs (Uniswap) are on other chains, not Bitcoin.
