EXCHANGES & WALLETS

DECENTRALIZED & CENTRALIZED EXCHANGES

Centralized Exchanges are the platforms that provide the most accessable on & off ramps for your crypto. Holding your crypto on centralized exchanges is trusting that they will be the custodian of your funds. Hints the term "Not your keys, not your crypto". Such as; Coinbase, Crypto(.)com, Kracken.

The Decentralized meaning implies there is no CEO, board of directors or centralized entity running the exchange. An example would be Uniswap.

NON CUSTODIAL WALLETS

A software that gives you the keys to access a wallet. The software does not ask for any information upfront and should be accessible from anywhere with internet. This does not mean there are no vulnerabilities, an additional way to secure your crypto is to store it in a "cold" wallet. Meaning the wallet is not connected to the internet.

All with a different level of sophistication to understand these are some examples of non custodial wallets; Sparrow - Xverse - Metamask - Phantom - Muun - Ledger - Seedsigner

DAOs - Smart Contracts - Tokenomics

DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is a community ran with no centralized authority.
Smart contracts are self executing & self enforcing.
Tokenomics is important to understand when launching tokens and wanting to control Supply & Demand.
