Decentralized exchanges have reshaped crypto trading. From early order‑book models to today's automated market makers, they give users full control of funds, reduce censorship risk, and open liquidity to anyone. Layer‑2 scaling and cross‑chain bridges now let DEXs trade assets at near‑spot speed, while protocols like Uniswap and SushiSwap prove that open liquidity can outpace traditional order books.

Ever wonder how blockchains stay honest? At the heart lies the consensus mechanism. Proof‑of‑Work (PoW) fights fraud with computational puzzles—Bitcoin’s flagship. Proof‑of‑Stake (PoS) replaces energy with value, letting holders validate blocks proportionally to their stake—Ethereum’s future. Emerging hybrids, like PoS‑PoW or sharding, aim to combine security, speed, and sustainability. Stay curious, stay crypto.

Scalability is the heart of blockchain progress. Layer‑1 sharding splits data across many chains, trading consistency for speed. Layer‑2 rollups bundle transactions off‑chain, keeping the base layer secure while boosting throughput. Sidechains offer fast, independent chains but risk liquidity fragmentation. Each path balances speed, security, and decentralization—pick the one that fits your use case.
