Yeah, cash tokens are kinda interesting. BCH is how to Bitcoin should have been.
Yes for sure, there already is a DEX dApp for CashTokens similar Uniswap on ETH.

Thats sick. What are the fees like? (with cashtokens)
The fees are same as a regular transaction, so super low, less than 1 cent.
I am curious on how the miners will be paid once the subsidies are complete since the transaction fees are so low. I'm learning more about BCH and I want to see if it's worth me providing hashrate for the network.
The goal is still the original Bitcoin plan. Build the best usable blockchain and collect fees from transactions to sustain miners after the block rewards dwindle. We have been delayed pretty badly by the BTC hijacking but there is still time.
This is a great resource to answer many of your questions about BCH.

There wasn't a Hijacking though, there was a split and both became two different currencies. But it seems like it has the same issues as Bitcoin as well.
There was a hijacking. Bitcoin was created to be peer to peer e-cash and it was on its way to becoming that. Then the hijackers came in and started pushing the digital gold scam. Now BTC is not a currency it is useless aside from some speculative investment with slow and unreliable transactions.
BCH forked away to preserve Bitcoin, not to create a different currency. BCH is actually the real Bitcoin.
Hijacking Bitcoin: by Roger Ver
https://odysee.com/@Pantera:f/HijackingBitcoin:7
They are both electronic cash systems that use two fundamentally different approaches. If someone took over 51% of the hashrate then that's someone hijacking the network. If you fork off of it, it becomes a separate currency based on the concept of Bitcoin. I am also very weary of Roger Ver, so we can't take his word for gospel just like we can't take Adam backs or Jameson Lopps word.
Also there is no one true "Bitcoin" there are different types of currencies built upon the concept of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin launched with huge blocks (32MB), then it was set to 1MB to prevent spam. When time came to increase the blocks bad actors came in and crippled the network to make sure it cannot be used as a payment system.
The point is BCH is the real Bitcoin and BTC is a hijacked cripple with a completely altered design. Bankers pumped the BTC price so people would think it is the real Bitcoin which it is not.
BCH and BTC are two different currencies with two different ways to handling payments. I use BTC in my daily life and have no issue using it as a currency. Even without the Lightning Network I am still able to use it as my daily currency since merchants in my area are okay with 1 conf transactions. One did not hijack the other, it was just a disagreement of two different kind if views that blossomed two different currencies. Also Bankers didn't pump Bitcoin, it was just open hype during the pandemic and it followed suit once more people understood how the concept of Bitcoin worked. It could have happened to BCH if it was in the same spotlight.
That is not at all how it went down. Watch the video I linked if you want to know what actually happened. It contains evidence of the events that transpired not just imagination.
