This page explains what a DEX (Decentralized Exchange) is, what an Aggregator does, and how they are used with ELPACO and other tokens on Terra Classic. It is written for newcomers who may have no prior knowledge of cryptocurrency.

A Decentralized Exchange (DEX) is an online platform where people can trade tokens directly with each other. Unlike a traditional exchange (like a stock market), there is no central company holding your money. Instead, trades happen through smart contracts on the blockchain. This means:

• You stay in control of your wallet and tokens.
• There is no middleman — trades are peer‑to‑peer.
• Prices are set by supply and demand in liquidity pools.

Think of a DEX as a marketplace where tokens are swapped automatically and securely.

An Aggregator is a tool that connects to multiple DEXs at once. Instead of checking each exchange separately, an aggregator finds the best price or route for your trade. This makes trading easier and often cheaper, because it compares options across different platforms.

Think of an aggregator like a flight comparison website — it shows you the best deal without you needing to check every airline yourself.
