Are you serious, please stop call Idex a decentralised exchange, is it not the same IDEX that started blocking some IPs from certain countries. I think it is just a market word to market the exchange and nothing more. I have not seen any decentralised exchange in the space it only exit in theory and not in practice
1) i say it's an " Hybrid " model and they say it too
2)Ethically i agree with you, they should not block IPS
But practically, giving some concessions to the regulator Is an advantage
Etherdelta was shut down and founders fined for not being compliant
In this space , you have to be practical, and when i buy i care about making money , not about some almost-religious belief of crypto fanatic
The centralization of xrp stopped him from being a multi billion market cap coin? Same for bancor , way more centralized than idex ( they were able to reverse transactions) and still reached high market cap
Anyway, in the roadmap there is the complete switch of governance to stakers , so it will become more and more decentralized
