Should You Still Build a DEX in 2025?

[monroealex17]

With Uniswap, Sushi, and others already dominating, many ask, is there still space to build a new DEX?
The answer is yes, if you bring something different. Here’s what still works:

• Faster, gas-free trading on L2s
  
  
• Tailored UI/UX for specific communities
  
  
• Built-in on-ramps and fiat-to-token flow
  
  
• Private or invite-only trading pools
  
  
• DeFi-native governance from day one
  
  

The tools for decentralized exchange development are more powerful than ever. You don’t need a massive team; just a clear vision and smart execution.
