DEX growing pains are profit signals for investors says Loi Luu, founder of the second largest DEX Kyber Network. Kyber's and other DEX's ability to pool on-chain liquidity while hurdling geo-fences are two reasons for further development. Front running, often chided as the largest issue with DEX trading, is another opportunity for investors according to Luu. Experienced traders can take advantage of the practice, although low DEX volume disincentivizes participating. Addressing front running at a technical level has natural drawbacks as "you usually have to [] compromise on transparency or on user experience." In general, Luu sees DeFi continuing to gravitate toward permissionless lending as a universally valued use case.
