Volume 24H: N
EtherDelta is a fully decentralized trading platform for Ether and Ethereum-enabled tokens. Funds are held in smart contracts so that only the user has control over them. The platform needs to be used together with a third party wallet, which makes it fairly complicated, but nevertheless it is more secure and private than a centralized exchange. There is no need to create a user account to trade.
EtherDelta is known to be quite difficult to use and some of its requirements are confusing for users. The interface is not very user-friendly and has had various bugs and technical issues. In order to prioritize the mining of their transactions, users have to pay a high Gas fee. For the default, lower Gas price, users should expect quite a long wait for their operations to be completed.

The founder of EtherDelta is Zack Coburn from Chicago, USA. Coburn is very active on Reddit and other social platforms to provide help and support for the platform's users. He admits EtherDelta still needs a lot of improvements and is promising to make the service more user-friendly. He is also known for founding Firstblood, a popular Blockchain-based eSports platform.
Summary:
EtherDelta has created a lot of excitement among Blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts since it is more private than other exchanges, allowing users to trade crypto anonymously. Despite its decentralized nature, in December 2017, the platform was targeted by an attack through which the hacker managed to spoof its domain for a short period of time.
