Background: Flash Mix and the Decentralized Trading Landscape

The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) has significantly reshaped the digital asset landscape, offering users an alternative to traditional financial systems. DeFi platforms, especially decentralized exchanges (DEXs), eliminate the need for intermediaries such as banks or centralized exchanges, providing users with more control over their assets. However, despite the rapid growth of DeFi, challenges remain. High transaction costs, slow execution speeds, and a fragmented user experience continue to hinder the full potential of decentralized trading.
