Top 13 Decentralized Cryptocurrency Exchanges (DEX)


Centralized exchanges block Russian accounts more often than not. To save your money and use practically all features without risks, you must look into DEX exchanges.

As of 10 March, Binance has restricted wire transfers for residents of Russia, and all they have left available is P2P trading. As of 22 April, Binance limited the threshold amount to hold in Russian accounts – up to $10,000 per person.

Coinbase is prepared to block Russian accounts in case the US authorities demand it. Before that, they blocked 25,000 accounts, which, in their view, were associated with fraudulent activities. The Qmall Ukrainian Exchange also blocked all accounts created by Russians with no refunds.

The Kraken Exchange is prepared to lock Russian accounts on-demand as well while South Korean Upbit, Bithumb, Korbit, and Gopax blocked access to their trading platforms for residents of Russia. These platforms have also blacklisted Russian IPs.

Except for blocking Russian accounts, all these exchanges have one thing in common: they are centralized.

Centralized exchanges (CEX) are exchanges that are managed from a single center with all operations controlled by the exchange desk. As long as your money is stored on the CEX exchange, it belongs to the exchange, but not to you.

If you don’t want to worry about your money, you might want to opt for decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges. That’s what we’re going to consider in this article.

Top 13 Decentralized Exchanges in 2022

Decentralized Exchange (DEX) is a platform powered by blockchain and operated by smart contracts.

DEX exchange’s strong points are as follows: it’s completely anonymous, they don’t require verification, and no one will be able to block your account or lock your money. Instead of the exchange wallet, all the money is stored in your wallet.

But DEX exchanges have weak points as well: there’s a limited feature set, it’s difficult for beginners to figure out, and it has low liquidity.

Which Decentralized Exchange do I Opt for?

Not all DEX exchanges available on the market are mentioned above. Today, you can find over 200 offers on CoinMarket, so hereby, you’ll learn what to consider when making your choice.

Liquidity level. DEX exchanges are out-grossed by centralized exchanges on this measure since they are less known. As a rule, beginners opt for Binance without a moment’s hesitation ignoring safer options.

Tokens available. You must ensure that the exchange supports the currency you want to work with. Also, keep in mind that DEX doesn’t support fiat currency.

Interchange rates. DEX interchange rates are lower than those on CEX but still, they may charge more or less. Therefore, you might want to study commission rates first.

Safety. DEX exchanges are more secure than centralized exchanges but you might want to opt for reliable projects that provide user feedback.

F.A.Q.

Q: How do DEX exchanges differ from CEX exchanges?

A: With decentralized exchanges, you hold and manage your funds, and in centralized exchanges, the money belongs to the exchange desk as long as they are in cycle. CEX exchanges are hacked more often but you can carry out fiat transactions there.

Q: Why are CEX exchanges more popular than DEX exchanges?

A: DEX operational concept is more complex than that of CEX while many DEX exchanges have limited feature set. However, decentralized platforms gradually take on.
