How it Works

With the help of the new plugin, integrating a DEX is unbelievably easy.

However, it is important to note that users are not hosting a DEX on their own website. Instead, they are creating a portal to established DEXs. As a result, users can trade directly through their WordPress site, but still utilize deep liquidity books from established exchanges.

The plugin’s back-end works by using a DeFi aggregator, Totle. Using Totle’s API, the plugin automatically finds the best rates via multiple decentralized crypto exchanges (DEX). As a result, the user will always receive the best rate.

Shift to Decentralized Exchanges

Centralized exchanges contradict one of cryptocurrency’s fundamentals: decentralization. Centralized exchanges control users’ funds by holding them in exchange wallets. As a result, traders are trusting that the exchange will not lose their funds.

Centralized exchanges have become a lucrative target for hackers as funds are located in only a few locations. As a result, many users have lost funds due to large scale exchange hacks. For example, last year cryptocurrency exchange Binance lost over $40M in a hack.

Despite the security vulnerabilities, centralized cryptocurrency exchanges continue to dominate crypto markets.

The biggest problem with decentralized exchanges is accessibility. Centralized exchanges are lucrative to crypto newcomers as they offer ease of use to users while DEXs appear to be complicated. As a result, many crypto traders do not consider alternatives, even if the alternatives provide better security.

With the ability to use a decentralized crypto exchange through WordPress, it will easier for users with limited crypto knowledge to trade using a DEX. With the plugin users will not have to register for a DEX as everything is done through the plugin.
