I've been hearing a lot about decentralized exchanges in the cryptocurrency world, and one of the main selling points is their supposed security. But I'm curious, can a decentralized exchange really be hacked? I mean, if it's decentralized and doesn't rely on a central authority to manage funds, how is it vulnerable to attacks? I understand that smart contracts, which are often used in decentralized exchanges, can have vulnerabilities, but is that the only way hackers can get in? And what measures can decentralized exchanges take to protect themselves and their users against potential attacks?
