DEX Lesson Plan
Here's a 7-day plan to learn about the XRP Ledger (XRPL) decentralized exchanges (DEXs) technology:
Day 1
Start by familiarizing yourself with the XRP Ledger and its features. Look into how it works, its consensus mechanism, its native token XRP, and the different use cases it supports.
Learn about the different types of decentralized exchanges, such as Automated Market Maker (AMM), Order Book, and Hybrid.
Day 2
Learn about smart contract and how it works, what it is used for and how it can be implemented on different blockchains.
Look into the XRPL DEX smart contract, what it does and how it manages the order book, deposit, withdraw and swap functions.
Day 3
Learn about the different libraries, SDKs, and frameworks available to interact with the XRPL DEX smart contract, such as XUMM, Ripple-lib, and ethers.js.
Day 4
Learn about the different ways to interact with a DEX, such as using a web3 browser extension, a command-line interface, or a programmatic API.
Day 5s
Look into the security considerations when using a DEX, such as how to securely store and manage private keys, and how to protect against potential attacks.
Day 6
Read about the real-world use cases of XRPL DEXs, and explore existing DEXs built on the XRPL, such as XRPL DEX, XRPTipBot, Bithomp, and XRPScan.
Day 7
Practice building a simple application or a script that interacts with the XRPL DEX smart contract, using one of the libraries or frameworks you learned about earlier.
