A decentralized exchange is a Dapp that allows users to trade different crypto assets with each other. Trades on decentralized exchanges are peer-to-peer, so you interact with a network directly rather than through a middle man like a centralized exchange. Some examples of notable decentralized exchanges are Uniswap, sushiswap, and Pancakeswap
Proof of Stake is a category of consensus that requires validators on the network to hold an amount of cryptocurrency corresponding to the network they are validating. The more you hold, the more weight your validation has on the consensus of the network. There are varying PoS consensus mechanisms, but they all ensure a base level of network security by requiring validators to be invested in the network. This way, if a bad actor were to try and create a bad state of the network, they would have to be heavily invested in the network's native token and thus in the network's success. Some example of proof of stake networks are Hedera Hashgraph Algorand and Cardano
