Developers just stepping into this space need patience and support. When you're first getting your head around decentralized exchanges, there's a real learning curve. Understanding how DEX transactions work—the mechanics, the fees, the slippage, the liquidity pools—it's not something you figure out overnight. Give these folks some grace as they navigate through it. The community grows stronger when we encourage people to keep learning and experimenting, even if they stumble a bit along the way. Every builder started somewhere.

You're right, but some newbies really treat slippage as some kind of mysticism... I also made a lot of mistakes early on, and looking back now, it's a bit embarrassing haha

Dex beginners do tend to fall into traps easily, but I guess that's the price of growth...

Oh no, new users definitely encounter pitfalls often. DEXs are indeed complicated, so don't be too hard on yourself.

Well said! Beginners just need to try more, or how can they grow? I was also completely clueless in the early days, not understanding things like slippage at all haha

Exactly right, beginners are more likely to stumble, but that's part of the normal learning process.

Haha, that's right. Newcomers do need to stumble a few times to understand the logic of DEX.

That's right, but the reality is that beginners often get completely drained by gas fees and slippage before they realize what tuition fees really are.

It's ironic that someone always says this before every market crash.

That's right, rookies stumbling is actually paving the way for the ecosystem. I went through the same thing myself [laughing crying]
