# Hello!

[MuesliSwap](https://muesliswap.com/) is the first decentralized exchange on Cardano, providing the Cardano community with a smart contract-powered trading platform since November 2021.

## What is a decentralized exchange?

Muesliswap is a decentralized exchange that allows you to trade crypto assets (tokens, NFTs) on the blockchain. It is similar to a stock exchange, where assets are traded between participants. Yet there is a key difference: Anyone, not just market makers, can provide liquidity in the form of liquidity pools! Moreover, the project is completly decentralised. This means that we are only developing a decentalized protocol but are not involved in any of the trading aspects. 

## How can I trade tokens on Muesliswap?

The good news is that trading tokens is really easy! Still, there is some initial setup that you will need to do. First, you will need a crypto wallet that supports dApps. Check out [cardano-wallets](https://docs.muesliswap.com/cardano/cardano-wallets "mention") for details on the setup. Second of course, you will need to have some crypto in this wallet, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to trade, right?
