What Are the Best DEXs in 2025 for Low Fees + Smooth UX?

[Katherine Thomas]

Hey crypto fam
Gas fees are killing profits these days, especially for small trades. I've been hunting for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that are low on fees but still safe and easy to use.​

Here are a few I’ve tested recently:

• Uniswap v4 (on L2s) – decent fees, but not the cheapest
• PancakeSwap (on BNB Chain) – still surprisingly cheap and fast
• Trader Joe (on Avalanche) – solid UI and low gas
• Maverick Protocol – new but promising mechanics

What DEX are you using right now, especially for frequent trades? Let’s compare notes and find the most efficient platforms out there.
