| 01 |  UniswapUniswap's decision to drop its interface fee to zero in December 2025 removed the one charge that made a centralized exchange cheaper for a simple swap. What is left is gas and the pool's own fee tier, both visible before a trader confirms anything. The protocol still cannot stop a sandwich attack on a wide slippage setting, and anyone in a comprehensively sanctioned country cannot load the interface at all. | 7.9 | On-Chain Trading | Free; swap and network fees apply | Uniswap Labs | Read review |
| 02 |  JupiterJupiter earns its reputation as Solana's default swap router: fees run from 0 to 10 basis points on most pairs, and its meta-aggregation genuinely finds better prices than trading on a single venue would. The same interface puts 250x leverage on SOL, BTC and ETH perps one toggle away from a basic swap, and it is fully self-custodial, so a newcomer who gets phished or over-leveraged has nobody to call. | 7.8 | On-Chain Trading | Free; swap fees 0-50 bps plus network fees | Jupiter | Read review |
| 03 |  HyperliquidHyperliquid delivers on the core promise: an order book, not an automated market maker, settling every order and liquidation on-chain in about a tenth of a second per block. Fees undercut Binance at the base tier, and depositing means connecting a wallet rather than handing over an ID. The March 2025 JELLY incident showed the limits of that design under attack, when the platform's own vault absorbed a loss before 27 validators voted in two minutes to unwind the trade at a price the exchange chose. That response protected users at the cost of the neutrality the chain advertises, and anyone trading size here should know both halves of that story. | 7.6 | On-Chain Trading | Free to use; trading fees apply | Hyperliquid Labs | Read review |
