Serum is a DEX , and to see how would it do we need to see how many projects go there and can be tradeable there, so far some good ones get there like solana , it has so many good partners and I remember it has a good hype at beginning , just waiting to see how good it goes with its roadmap.
The DEX Serum has a huge disadvantage if they want to compete with Uniswap now. I dont expect much from Serum DEX, for now I only hope for the hedge fund behind it that Alamenda will do something with their huge fortune.
I think Serum should do some marketing campaign to get more people to know it, like Uniswap airdropped traders before September 1st with the amount of 1300 $ / person. Money is probably what will buy the reputation of Serum fastest, don't you think?
