1) Centralized Finance (CeFi) exchanges — act as an intermediary to manage the crypto transactions and activities of users
2) Decentralized Finance (DeFi) exchanges — which eliminate the need of any third party to control the activities of users, thus allowing technology to take over and users having authority to manage their transactions and deals.

How to know if a token has a gas fee?
On poocoin.app, click on Trade, then choose how much BNB you’d like to use to buy a token, and then click swap. Before you approve the transaction in MetaMask, you will notice that the slippage will automatically be adjusted in Poocoin (if you’ve set slippage to auto). That’s how much tax it costs. Sometimes buying and selling taxes are different.

How to find out how many wallets hold a token?
If the token is on the binance smart chain, then go to BSCscan.com you can see it under the Holders section when you select which coin you want to look at.
