  CEX and DEX differ in their approach to custody. CEXs hold users' funds on their platform, acting as a trusted third party. On the other hand, DEXs enable users to trade directly from their wallets, eliminating the need to trust a centralized entity. This gives users more control over their funds and reduces the risk of hacks or thefts associated with CEXs.

  One key difference is the level of privacy. CEXs often require users to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, which involve providing personal information. DEXs, on the other hand, allow users to trade anonymously, without the need for KYC. This appeals to users who value privacy and want to maintain their anonymity while trading cryptocurrencies.
