The only play right now is base:0xa4ff56ef7ef4a2cad03cfa130208c9bc1b45d293 and it's a good one
SaucerSwap is the #1 DEX on Hedera, no one is even close
This post is for those that are new to crypto and from that perspective let me explain why a DEX, such as SaucerSwap is so important.
If you like a particular chain such as Hedera, Solana, SUI, ICP etc. you dip your toes in by purchasing one or all of them.
Then you start to learn more about them and begin to have interest in the projects on each of them. How do you purchase tokens in those projects you ask yourself?
Most people go to a CEX which is a Centralized Exchange in which you deposit money or crypto and then exchange it for the crypto you want.
HOWEVER most CEXs have a very limited number of cryptocurrencies and typically do not have the lower market cap projects from individual chains as mentioned above.
THEREFORE you research some more and realize you need to use a DEX, Decentralized Exchange. There is typically one or more on each chain, such as SaucerSwap on Hedera.
CONCLUSION is that you will end up at a DEX in order to purchase the projects you want on each of those chains. So if you like Hedera then you will end up at some point either using or considering SaucerSwap. What does that tell you?
It tells you that as Hedera, and projects built on Hedera that have tokens available, become more popular then the DEX will be used more.
You can follow that logic to its conclusion and you may find that you realize SaucerSwap is the place to be on Hedera.
There are many other good projects and as they become more popular the SaucerSwap DEX becomes more popular.
You may be thinking: are some of these projects available on various CEXs? Yes but few and far between.
Also, let's briefly discuss custody which means - who holds the crypto? CEX holds the crypto for you, with a DEX you hold the crypto in your wallet. In other words do you want your money in the bank or in your wallet, up to you.
BTW: The SaucerSwap interface is top tier, they have come a long way, this post would be way too long if I even attempted to discuss their accomplishments.
My perspective: personally as a programmer, investor, entrepreneur, attorney, let me say this - I have built companies, I have built development teams, and I have been impressed (from the outside looking in) with SaucerSwaps team, communication, iteration - basically constant improvement and development. That's why I am an investor.
