Hello Steemit:

Assalam Alaikum, How are you all, hope you all are doing well. So today, after attending Professor @yousafharoonkhan lecture on Centralized and decentralized exchange, i learned many important things about those exchanges and there pros and cons.
Lets start with the answers of given homework question.

Question no 1 :

Write the definition of Decentralized and Centralized Exchange in your own words.(definition should cover exchanges ,not system) only explain in your own words, after understand the exchanges?

Decentralized Exchange:

Decentralized exchange are basically those exchanges which gives a right to user to set there own rules for exchanging any coin. It means there is no involvement of third party in exchange system. There is no need of following third party companies rules and regulations of exchanges. Trader can easily trade their desired coin without any help of any company.

In decentralized exchange, buyer and seller interact with each other. That's why this exchange is also known as the safest exchange for traders. Because as we know, In decentralized system data cannot store in one main server just like in centralized system. Data are stored in different servers of decentralized system. That's why it is difficult for hacker to hack information from server.

Centralized Exchanges:

Centralized exchanges are those exchanges which are run through the involvement of third party medium. Which means there is a third party between buyer and seller who managed and controlled all the assets of traders. These third party exchanges set there own rules and regulations. And traders are forced to follow there rules for trading there coin through centralized exchanges. If traders are not follow there rules and it will be difficult for them to trade on that exchanges.

Centralized exchanges have there main servers from where all the data and information of traders transaction are stored. And this storage of data on main server is make centralized exchange less secure. Because it is easy for hacker to hack any information if they managed to enter in main server.

Question no 2 :

Explain in your own words the difference between decentralization and centralization exchanges (answer should related exchanges ,not over all system.. (answer must be written in own words, copy paste or from other source copy will be not accepted)?

Difference between Decentralized and Centralized exchanges

So, after defining both exchanges. Some differences of decentralized and centralized exchanges are given below,

Security:
Security is the main thing every trader want from there desired exchange. Centralized exchanges are less secured than Decentralized exchanges. The main reason is the involvement of third party. In centralized exchanges, third party managed all the assets of traders but in decentralized exchanges, buyer and seller are directly interact with each other without any middleman. That's why data are stored in different places in decentralized exchanges and it is difficult to hacker to hack that data.

Transaction Fee:
Centralized exchanges have more transaction fee than decentralized exchanges. and this is the main reason, traders like decentralized exchange more than centralized exchanges.

Process of Verification:
There is a must need of verification process in centralized exchanges. Without verification process, no trader can trade there assets. And the main thing is verification process is difficult. This process is known as KYC.
In decentralized exchanges, trader are not need to verify themselves for trading there assets. They are 24 hours availability of exchange. Which enables traders to trade anytime.

User Friendly Exchange:
Many users are freshers who use exchange application first time. They faces many difficulty in using there application if they are not user friendly. Centralized exchanges are generally not a user friendly application.
But decentralized exchanges are made user friendly. There interfaces are easy to use. New user can easily understand how to use there website or application.

Question no 3 :
