Mirror mirror on the wall - Who’s the most decentralized exchange of them all?

IDEX is a hybrid exchange which means that it is both decentralized and centralized. The exchange uses smart contracts to manage custody of funds, to trade and for settlements while the exchange itself facilitates off-chain balances, the order book, and trade dispatching. IDEX has created a real-time trading experience that is very similar to traditional centralized exchanges which presumably is the reason why it has become very popular.

Unfortunately, this also comes with a clear trade-off as users need to deposit their funds into IDEX to be able to trade on the exchange. This creates two extra steps to the trading experience (deposit and withdrawal) unless users are willing to leave their funds on the exchange.

While this hybrid constellation makes it possible for users to cancel their trades without paying gas fees, it also means that the exchange can choose to rescind a transaction until it is processed and sent to be mined. IDEX has a minimum trade order of 0.15 ETH ($26.44) for Makers and 0.05 ETH ($8.81) for Takers, a 0.04 ETH ($6.86) minimum withdrawal. IDEX has set a fixed price of 140.000 gas to process transactions to create this real-time trading experience, which by many could be considered quite expensive.
