Buying into $DESO from a CEX was one of the easiest transactions I've made to transfer and swap my $ETH.

I timed the transaction from the moment I approved it on my CEX. (I've also tested transactions directly from eth mainnet that gave the same results...except for Eth network fees)

It took 27.11 seconds.

t cost me less than $2.50 in network fees.

Like any rational token holder, I first made 2x test transactions, which I didn't time. But...

What completely surprised me is that the transaction update of "deposit confirmed" was already green and completed before I could switch browsers. And moments after that $DESO transfer was confirmed.

I've transacted in dozens of projects, DEXs, CEXs and ecosystem wallets - often losing my test transaction funds. I've also used convoluted bridges to bridge from chain to chain - sometimes waiting up to an hour for the txn to complete. I've made employee payments using clunky methods to pay into various wallets- wishing there was an easier way.

This clear and seamless process of onboarding into an ecosystem, was a first for me, where I didn't have to worry about losing funds or spending hours figuring out what the process was.

$ETH holders need to be told about this.
