What is Stellar SDEX, what is the difference with Soroswap.Finance and why it is not aggregated by the Soroswap Aggregator
(Stellar Decentralized Exchange) is the native decentralized exchange of the Stellar network. It allows users to trade assets directly on the Stellar blockchain through a system of order books. Here’s how it operates:
Order Books: Stellar SDEX uses order books to facilitate trades. Users place buy and sell offers in the order book, which are matched based on price and time priority.
Order Types: Users can create various types of orders, such as market or limit orders. Orders are automatically matched against existing orders in the book.
Asset Exchange: Trades are executed by matching buy and sell orders within the order books. Assets are exchanged directly between users without needing an intermediary.
Path Payments: If there is no direct order for an asset pair, Stellar allows path payments to find the best route through multiple assets to complete the trade.
