Exchanges, Swaps, and Charts
Where crypto is actually bought and sold: centralised and decentralised exchanges, what happens inside a swap, and how to read a chart and a token page for risk.
6 lessons
A practical course on the places people trade. You will learn how a centralised exchange holds your assets and what happens when one fails, how a decentralised exchange works without an operator, every step of a token swap from approval to minimum received, how bots profit from the order of transactions, and how to read a price chart and a token page to spot risk. It does not teach trading strategies or predictions.
