DEX development and deployment—how challenging is it really? Building a decentralized exchange involves tackling multiple layers: smart contract architecture, liquidity pool mechanics, order matching systems, and gas optimization. Some argue it's become more accessible with existing frameworks and audited templates. Others highlight the complexity of security audits, regulatory compliance, and sustaining liquidity in competitive markets. What's your take—is the technical barrier the main hurdle, or are economics and network effects the real challenge?

To be honest, the real bottleneck is not at the technical level... The framework exists, templates are available, and audits can be found. The key is how to make Liquidity come alive, which is the fatal flaw of 99% of projects.

To be honest, the technical framework has long been copyable. The real bottleneck now isn't the code, but liquidity and user base... A DEX with no users is just a decoration, no matter how elegant.

NGL technology has long ceased to be a bottleneck; the real choke point is liquidity... A DEX without trading volume is just a display.

Honestly, the technical aspect has long ceased to be a bottleneck, with so many frameworks and templates available. The real choke point is the liquidity hell during cold start. Anyone can fork Uniswap, but who will provide the first wave of liquidity for you? That's the fatal flaw.

Honestly, technology is actually the least valuable part, since the frameworks are already available... The real killers are liquidity and user cold start. --- Audit fees + compliance costs are just too high for small teams to afford, that's the real barrier. --- In the face of network effects, everything is pointless. Without users, it's just a pile of shit. No matter how advanced the technology is, it's useless. --- I think none of that is the main issue. The real bottleneck is gas fees. If a single transaction costs too much, no one will use it. It's already dead. --- Building a DEX is easy to start and easy to die. How many projects come and go... Isn't it just that no one really needs that many exchanges? --- Honestly, having an audited template definitely lowers the barrier, but if the economic model is poorly designed, it's still game over.
