DEXs, aggregators, lending, dev tools, stablecoins, NFTs, wallets, and on-ramps (CEX & DEX).
Decentralized exchanges let you swap tokens (e.g. ADA for other assets) without a central custodian. You keep control of your wallet; trades are executed on-chain via smart contracts.
Aggregators scan multiple DEXs at once to find you the best price or route for a swap. One trade can be split across several pools to improve execution.
Protocols where you can supply assets to earn yield (lending) or use your crypto as collateral to borrow. Interest and terms are set by on-chain logic, not a single company.
APIs, SDKs, indexers, and tooling for building on Cardano. Use these to read chain data, send transactions, deploy smart contracts, or run backend services.
Tokens pegged to a stable value (e.g. one USD). They reduce volatility when you want to hold value or trade without moving in and out of fiat.
Non-fungible tokens represent unique digital (or tokenized physical) items. Marketplaces let you buy, sell, and discover NFTs on Cardano.
Apps that hold your keys and let you view balances, send and receive ADA/tokens, connect to dApps, and sign transactions. You never share your seed phrase with sites or protocols.
