Recently I came across an article about the future of decentralized exchanges and how they are going to transform the centralized exchanges. One thing that clearly mentioned is that decentralized exchanges are secure and impossible (kind of) to hack as no central entity is running/controlling them. However, I heard about the security breach of Bancor and waves DEX. So what's the point of decentralized exchanges if they are still being hacked
The meaning of decentralized exchanges is only one-they are not controlled by one firm.This is exactly what is needed for cryptocurrency.By and large, centralized exchanges are ordinary banks,with only one difference that they use cryptocurrencies instead of fiat money.
