# Reduced-Cost DeFi Trades

Effectiveness

Although the **ultimate** benefit of the AnyDex model is the capacity to go beyond the mere trading of DeFi assets, in doing so AnyDex also provides a mechanism for outcompeting existing DEX models when it comes to the trading of ERC-20 tokens.

By **eliminating** gas fees and third-party market-maker and liquidity provider costs, AnyDex is able to offer gasless, taxless, impactless trades for the trading of ERC-20 tokens. 

This provides 2 key benefits. Firstly, by **outcompeting** traditional DEX models on **cost**-**efficiency** for users, AnyDex does not sacrifice market share in the DeFi sector in pursuit of its expansion into the RWA and TradFi sectors. Secondly, it allows AnyDex to quickly attract an initial user base of DeFi traders in order to prove out the concept such that it is **battle-tested** by the time the first RWAs and TradFi assets are onboarded.
