Decentralized Exchange (DEX)

A trading platform that doesn't hold users' funds for them and doesn't require them to deposit money in order to start trading. Users trade straight from their own wallets instead.

Active Management

Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of malware (malicious software) that has the final goal of convincing victims to pay for a decryption ransom in order to recover their compromised files or system. The payments are normally asked in digital currencies that are difficult to be traced, such as Bitcoin, Monero, or any other cryptocurrency.

Impermanent Loss

When there is a price difference between the two assets a trader owns on a DEX, often a cryptocurrency and a stablecoin (such as USDC), impermanent loss might occur.
