Decentralized exchanges have reshaped crypto trading—from centralized order books to permissionless AMMs and cross‑chain bridges. Platforms like Uniswap, SushiSwap, and Layer‑2 DEXs on Arbitrum or Optimism enable instant swaps without custodial risk, while Curve and Balancer optimize yields. The next wave? Hybrid models that combine on‑chain order books with off‑chain matching and native cross‑chain liquidity, making every token interoperable.
