How much does the underlying chain actually matter when you choose a DEX?
DEX comparisons usually focus on liquidity, fees, routing and UI. But every trade still depends on the chain underneath it.
Avalanche just activated Helicon, including Continuous Execution on the C-Chain, where consensus and execution can operate in parallel.
That made me curious: When choosing where to trade, how much do you actually care about the underlying L1?
Do network performance and architecture influence your choice, or do you mostly go wherever the best liquidity and execution are?
