JediSwap differentiates itself with both volatile and stable pair pools, optimized for different trading scenarios. The protocol's focus on developer experience and DeFi composability makes it the central hub for Starknet's trading ecosystem.

Risks & Considerations
Starknet Maturity: Starknet is newer and less battle-tested than Ethereum L1; ensure you trust the implementation.
Wallet Learning Curve: Cairo wallets (Argent, Braavos) differ from EVM wallets; familiarize yourself first.
Liquidity Depth: Lower overall ecosystem liquidity than Ethereum; large trades may experience slippage.
