2. LITERATURE SURVEY

The rise of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and blockchain-based trading platforms has been fueled by the growing demand for more secure, transparent, and self-regulated financial systems[4]. Unlike centralized exchanges (CEXs), which act as intermediaries between usersandassets,DEXsenabledirectpeer-to-peertrading on the blockchain. This decentralization enhances security and control, as users retain ownership of their privatekeysandfunds.[1]

This literature review explores the current landscape of blockchain-based decentralized exchanges, focusing on technologies like Ethereum, smart contracts, and MetaMask.[5] It also examines decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and compares various projects in the field. By reviewing existing platforms, this study highlights how the proposed project advances upon previous works, with particularemphasis on integrating MetaMask and enhancing scalability, security, and user experience.[2]

Centralizedvs.DecentralizedExchanges

CentralizedExchanges(CEXs)suchasCoinbase,Binance, and Kraken have dominated the cryptocurrency market due to their liquidity, fast transaction speeds, and userfriendly interfaces.[6] However, CEXs come with significantdrawbacks:

● Custodial Nature: Users do not control their private keys, as the exchange holds custody of funds,creatingpotentialsecurityvulnerabilities, asdemonstratedbymajorhackslikeMt.Goxand Coincheck.[11]

Key studies highlight Ethereum's smart contract capabilities, which support complex programmable transactions and decentralizedapplications(dApps).[12]

Ethereum’s Role in the Crypto Market Ethereum is recognized as the second-largest cryptocurrency platform, offering advanced functionalities beyond simple transactions. Literature identifies its utility in enabling token creation, decentralized finance (DeFi), and other blockchain innovations, making it a preferred choice for exchange platforms.[3]

Security Challenges in Cryptocurrency Exchanges[4] Security remains a critical concern, as exchanges are frequenttargetsforcyberattacks.Researchdiscussesthe implementation of robust security protocols, including multi-signature wallets, end-to-end encryption, and decentralized storage solutions, to enhance platform resilience.[9]

RegulatoryandComplianceConsiderations

Studies highlight the evolving legal landscape surrounding cryptocurrency exchanges, including Know YourCustomer(KYC)andAnti-MoneyLaundering(AML) regulations[8]. Literature suggests that compliance with these regulations isvital for legitimacyand usertrustin the platform. 1. Vernekar et al. (2020) presents an exploration of blockchain technology for developing a secure, transparent, and cost-efficient e-voting system, addressingtechnical,legal, andsecuritychallengesinits implementation[17].

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT

The cryptocurrency market has grown significantly, but existing exchange platforms face several challenges that hinder widespread adoptionanduser satisfaction.Many platforms are complex and intimidating for new users, c reating a barrier to entry for those unfamiliar with cryptocurrencytrading.Securityvulnerabilitiesremaina major concern, with incidents of hacking and asset theft erodingusertrust.Additionally,regulatorycomplianceis ofteninconsistent, exposing usersandplatformstolegal risks.

Another issue is the limited support for diverse cryptocurrencies and payment methods, restricting user flexibility. High transaction fees and slow processing times during peak trading periods further detract from the user experience. Furthermore, most platforms lack robustcommunity engagementfeatures,deprivingusers of access to educational resources and peer interaction, whicharecriticalforinformedtrading.Addressingthese challenges through an advanced cryptocurrency exchange platform can provide a secure, accessible, and feature-richtradingexperienceforadiverseuserbase.

The cryptocurrency exchange market faces critical challenges that hinder its potential to become a universally trusted financial system. One of the major issues is the lack of a seamless and secure trading environment, with many platforms failing to address vulnerabilitiessuchashackingandfraudulentactivities.

8. System Architecture

-0072

The system architecture of the cryptocurrency exchange platform is designed to ensure scalability, security, and high performance. At the core of the system, there are two main components: the frontend and backend. The frontend is responsible for user interactions, utilizing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to provide an intuitive and responsive interface. This includes functions such as account management, transaction execution, real-time price tracking, and the integration of smart contracts through the Ethereum blockchain. The backend, powered by Solidity for smart contract execution and integration with Ethereum's decentralized ledger, manages all blockchain-related transactions, including wallet management, trade execution, and transaction verification.

To ensure security and enhance user trust, the system employs MetaMask integration for secure wallet management. The frontend interacts with MetaMask to manage transactions securely and to store user data off the blockchain. The backend is connected to the Ethereum blockchain via nodes, which ensures decentralizedandsecuretransactionprocessing.
