déchange

Dexchange is a term that can refer to several concepts, primarily related to exchange or trading, often within specialized contexts. In the realm of cryptocurrency, a dexchange typically denotes a decentralized exchange. Unlike centralized exchanges that hold user funds and manage order books, decentralized exchanges operate on blockchain technology, allowing users to trade digital assets directly with each other through smart contracts. This peer-to-peer system aims to enhance security and user control over assets.

The concept of dexchange can also be found in other areas, such as the exchange of goods or services, particularly in non-monetary transactions or bartering systems, although this usage is less common and often context-dependent. In a more general sense, dexchange might be used informally to describe any kind of exchange or swap, emphasizing the act of giving one thing for another. However, without further context, "dexchange" most frequently points to the cryptocurrency domain and its decentralized trading platforms.
