CHAPTER 1: GETTING THE BASICS - CEX, DEX, Stablecoins and Research Websites

1.1: Before Getting Started

This book assumes that you have already transferred your funds to a centralized exchange (CEX). This is the first and only prerequisite required for the content in this book. Examples of CEXs available today include:

-Coinbase

-Binance

-Kraken.

The most basic language will be used whenever possible. The words cryptocurrency, token, and coin will be used interchangeably. Due to safety concerns, only names instead of links will be provided for exchanges, charting platforms, block explorers, wallet platforms, and various other cryptocurrency websites. This book can be used as a reference guide, but it is highly recommended to read through it entirely at least once.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand the concepts at the beginning. The first section of this book, Getting the Basics, will cover fundamental concepts for beginners. You’ll need to understand these concepts to confidently and safely make your first purchase on a decentralized exchange (DEX).
