Ever fantasize about a DEX where interface fees just vanish? Yeah, turns out that's pure fiction. Reality check: most decentralized exchanges charge interface layers that quietly eat into your trading returns. Whether it's protocol fees, aggregator markups, or slippage costs, they add up fast. The dream of truly frictionless swaps keeps fading against the actual mechanics of how these platforms operate. Worth thinking about before your next trade.

Nah fr, fees are indeed the hidden killer, draining your funds with every transaction.

I just want to say, those so-called zero-fee DEXs are just a facade. After discussing a few audit cases, the logic of fee stacking is similar to permission control vulnerabilities. If you can't see it, just pretend it doesn't exist.

DEX is just a way to cut leeks under the banner of decentralization, with a bunch of high fees. Do they really think we can't do the math?

Another moment when a beautiful dream shatters... Fees, this little flower, are everywhere.

Fees, you know... going from 0.3% to 0.8% is barely noticeable, but by the time you do the math later, you've already slipped by 1.2 percentage points—that's the truth of DEX.
