Ever wondered who actually foots the bill for DEX operations?

Most people think it's all about trading fees. But the real picture? Way more complex. Someone's subsidizing those "zero-fee" swaps you're making.

The economics behind decentralized exchanges aren't as straightforward as they seem.

There's always someone paying the price behind zero-cost exchanges; the essence of capitalism is fully exposed.

Wow, there's definitely someone footing the bill behind zero fees. I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Zero fees? Ha, there's no such thing as a free lunch. I've seen through it all long ago.

Oh, that's ridiculous. I thought it was really zero fees, but it turns out someone is actually footing the bill behind the scenes.

Oh my, it's just some big sponsor paying behind the scenes again. Finally, someone dares to speak up about this.

Zero fees? Hah, the user always ends up paying for it—nothing new.

Ah, so the arbitrage I’m doing is actually being subsidized by the vampires. That’s what’s going on here.
