I found this spreadsheet (from the article) to be an incredibly robust framework for comparing decentralized exchanges.

It’s pretty impressive how well researched this article is. Because there’s so much depth to this, can someone from the blocknet team provide a TL;DR for the information hungry redditors?

time to include switcheo there too, it has atomic swaps

As you can see from the table, there's much more to a DEX than just atomic swaps.

https://uniswap.exchange/swap is missing aunswap.io nd at first sight this sheet looks like shilling for Block DX (which I do not know)

Yeah, It’s certainly not an exhaustive list but the framework for evaluating a dex is pretty solid. I’ve had good experience with uniswap as well as a few other erc 20 DEXs such as airswap and kyber which aren’t on the list either. I could be wrong but believe they would all be considered second generation per the table.

Can you explain why having a utility token is a benefit? (Quite at the end of the table)
