Explain the Concept of “Decentralized Exchange” (DEX).

A Decentralized Exchange (DEX) is a peer-to-peer marketplace that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies directly with each other without the need for a central intermediary like a traditional exchange. Trades are executed via smart contracts on a blockchain, giving users non-custodial control over their funds, which reduces counterparty risk.
