How Do Commit-Reveal Schemes Affect the User Experience on a Decentralized Exchange (DEX)?

Commit-reveal schemes typically introduce a delay in the trade execution process, as the user must wait for two separate transactions (commit and reveal) to be confirmed on the blockchain. This latency can make the user experience slower and more cumbersome compared to instant-execution DEXs.

The increased complexity is the trade-off for enhanced front-running resistance.
