Brego Arts & New Media is independent, minority-owned and self-funded. No investors, no venture money, no one to answer to but our readers.

We are here for the original promise of Web3: an open, egalitarian internet where people have real choices in how they bank, pay, send money and own what they make. Somewhere along the way that vision got crowded out by self-dealing and grift. Our work is to keep the good, leave the bad, and build the version worth finding.

Everything we publish is free to read and will stay that way. If our work has been useful to you, support keeps a shoestring operation running: the servers, the research, and the independence. It also backs the projects closest to us, including a green technology invention in development, a five-cat rescue, and bringing filmmaking to Western Massachusetts.

Crypto Exchanges in Six Steps

Web3Exchange.com explains how crypto exchanges work, centralized and decentralized, so you can trade with your eyes open.

0 of 6 complete
An exchange matches buyers and sellers of digital assets and settles the trade, for a fee.

Exchange

A company runs the platform and holds customers' funds. It is convenient and usually requires identity checks.

CEX

A DEX runs on smart contracts. You trade from your own wallet, and no company holds your funds.

DEX

Some exchanges match orders from a book of bids and asks. Many DEXs trade against a pool of tokens supplied by other users instead.

Liquidity pool

Beyond trading fees, the price can move between placing and filling an order. Large trades in thin markets slip the most.

Slippage

Check licensing in your country, security history, withdrawal limits and whether the exchange publishes proof of the reserves it holds.

Proof of reserves

Educational only, not financial advice. Crypto prices move fast and you can lose what you put in. Some links are affiliate links; we may earn a commission at no cost to you.
