Aggregator 1inch began blocking American users in September 2021, after <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/1inch.io\/assets\/1inch_network_terms_of_use.pdf\">stating<\/a> in its terms of use that U.S. residents were not allowed to use its interface. Binance DEX also banned U.S. users in June 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike centralized exchanges, DEXs do not have a centralized \u201cback end\u201d or database controlled by the developer. For this reason, many users have found that they can circumvent geographical bans in most cases by using a VPN to hide their IP address or by connecting directly to the blockchain through a development tool such as Truffle or Hardhat.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"defi_newsletter\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
