DEX
A decentralized exchange: you trade straight from your own wallet.
On a DEX there is no account and no company holding your funds. You connect your wallet and swap tokens through smart programs. Raydium and Orca are DEXs, and Jupiter is a service that finds the best price across them.
Why it matters
There is nobody to reverse a mistake. Check the token and the amount before you approve.
