A DEX that demands tutorials is already dead in the water. Real simplicity? It's three steps max—connect wallet, select your tokens, hit swap, and you're done. That's the standard. Anything more, and users bounce. The friction kills adoption faster than any bear market. The best protocols understand this: elegant design means invisibility. No explanation needed. Just intuitive flow from entry to exit. That's what separates survivors from the rest in DeFi.

That's true, but the reality is that most DEXs can't achieve that. They are filled with a bunch of flashy features, and the user experience is getting worse and worse.

Exactly right. These days, many DEXs are designed really poorly. Beginners have to read through documentation for a long time just to trade, so they've already left.

Bro, you're really going all out with this. Three steps to get it done? Last time I bottomed out on a new DEX project, I was completely confused by the tutorial, and ended up losing 20% due to slippage. Thinking back, I can't help but laugh at myself... Honestly, the more complex the design, the faster users run. Isn't this just the best time for the whales to harvest?

In plain terms, DEXes that need tutorials should have been phased out long ago. Three simple steps—connect wallet, select currency, one-click exchange. This is the minimum standard. Users who exceed this threshold are immediately left behind; the friction is even more deadly than a bear market. Protocols that truly survive understand this principle well; good design is transparent and seamless. Do users really need to hold a manual to dare to trade? This is the natural selection in the crypto world.

That's right, users simply don't have the patience to read tutorials. If I have to spend half a day just figuring out a DEX, I might as well uninstall it directly.

To be honest, some DEXs are like exams. Beginners have to read the instructions to get started. Isn't that just suicide?

NGL, the three-step process sounds great, but in reality, most DEXes are stuck at the user education stage... Truly seamless experiences are few and far between.

Oh my god, you're so right. I've seen so many projects fail just because of user experience. Really... users just leave if it takes more than three steps.

That's correct, but the reality is that most DEXs are still stuck on tutorials. The true winners have long hidden the complexity.
