This document analyzes the decentralized exchange (DEX) landscape and provides insights into past and future growth. It discusses the rise of automated market makers (AMMs) like Uniswap and their success over first generation DEXs. The current state of DEXs is presented in terms of liquidity, volume, fees, capital efficiency, and governance. Opportunities for future growth include expanding to multiple chains and layers, addressing traditional exchanges and financial markets, and integrating with non-fungible tokens. In conclusion, DEXs have grown significantly but aspects remain experimental as the on-chain exchange market is still in its early stages.
