Decentralized finance (DeFi) has revolutionized how people trade, lend, and earn — without banks or middlemen. Yet, until recently, most DeFi activity has been centered around Ethereum, where high gas fees and slow transaction times frustrated everyday users.
Enter SundaeSwap — a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Cardano blockchain that promises faster, fairer, and more affordable trading for everyone.
This article explains why SundaeSwap isn’t just another DeFi project, but a major player shaping the future of decentralized finance.
Most DeFi platforms are built on Ethereum, which pioneered the concept — but Cardano was designed to improve it.
SundaeSwap runs on Cardano’s proof-of-stake (PoS) protocol, offering several advantages:
Cardano’s infrastructure provides SundaeSwap with a stable foundation — combining speed, sustainability, and decentralization.
As Forbes recently noted, Cardano’s technical approach “positions it as one of the most robust and scientifically grounded blockchains in the world.”
One of SundaeSwap’s biggest strengths is its commitment to decentralization.
Unlike centralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase — where companies hold user funds — SundaeSwap gives you full ownership and control.
All trades occur directly on the blockchain, through smart contracts, with no need to trust third parties.
