How do decentralized exchanges ensure the security of users' funds without a central authority?

» Wallets and Exchanges

Decentralized exchanges use smart contracts to execute trades directly between users' wallets, eliminating the need for an intermediary to hold funds.
Users maintain control of their private keys, ensuring that only they have access to their assets, not the exchange platform.
Decentralized exchanges often incorporate cryptographic algorithms for secure peer-to-peer transactions and to prevent fraud and hacking.

So how do decentralized exchanges keep users' funds secure without having like a central body or authority in charge? What's keeping everything safe from hacks or scams if there's no one really watching over it?

Decentralized exchanges use smart contracts to handle the trades, so basically, the code's the boss and it automatically executes the trade only when the conditions are met. Plus, since there's no central pot of money to hack into, it's not as tempting a target for scammers.
