I prefer us reviewing @aerodrome and @velodrome (for various reasons, but mainly because I don't want to sound salty or point fingers)

* there's no centralized software between the end-user and the AMM (the web-app talks in real-time, directly to the smart contracts), one would need to take down both chains (smart contracts and IPFS) to bring down the AMM
* there's no tracking, pixels and other privacy concerning software injected into the end-user experience, in fact you can provide your own RPC and keep things to yourself in full
* there's no single way to access the AMM, meaning that anybody going to (aero|velo).drome.eth.link will be able to access the public good
* there's no cost to run the AMM, no need for SRE, devops, webmasters etc... the upkeep is literally one single transaction `Voter.distribute()`

There's a public promise towards the end-users to activate the last of the protocol parameters/calls using open governance within the upcoming release.

Building decentralized applications isn't easy, but it's what we strive for. Every additional feature or product added is built with decentralization in mind.

If you're curious how the @aerodrome app fetches onchain data in realtime, please give our Sugar repo a look:
