BENEFITS OF USING IDEX EXCHANGE
What I like about IDEX Exchange is that there is no deposit or withdrawal fees but as a user, you will need to pay trading fees which are very affordable. As a user, you will pay 0.1% for market makers, and 0.2% for market takers. Also, the exchange is very secured and funds are safe because it offers some key security advantages over other centralized platforms. IDEX Exchange runs as a node od Ethereum network. This means that it offers all security benefits that is been provided by blockchain. Also, hackers cannot target it as IDEX doesn't control funds of users.
DISLIKES ABOUT IDEX EXCHANGE
IDEX Exchange supports ERC20 tokens only which means that users cannot trade popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, EOS, e.t.c. Also, IDEX do not suport Fiat currency which means that users can only trade their tokens to other coins that is available on the exchange.
