What is the difference between CEX and DEX listing?

A centralized exchange (CEX) is operated by a company that manages the platform, order books, and custodial wallets. Listing on a CEX usually involves an application process, KYC, audits, and fees, but it offers high liquidity and visibility. Decentralized exchanges (DEX) operate without a central authority, using smart contracts for trading. Listing on a DEX is faster and cheaper; you just provide liquidity to a trading pair. However, DEXs may have lower visibility and require users to manage wallets themselves. Both options have pros and cons: CEX ensures higher exposure and credibility, while DEX allows permissionless, community-driven trading. Some projects start on DEX and later move to CEX for broader adoption.
