Introduction
There are many trading techniques, such as margin trading, OTC trading, margin lending, paper trading and so on. Because no crypto exchange can fulfill the needs of a trader using several trading techniques, he has to use several exchanges. According to the survey by ONAM, most traders are forced to use 3-4 exchanges.
Here's when the ONAM exchange comes to help.
Problems of modern cryptocurrency exchanges
The risk of getting hacked exists
Because of the security breaches, MtGox, an exchange that was responsible for over 70% of all Bitcoin transactions at a time, had to shut down. Thousands of BTC were stolen; investors have lost their money are still trying to return it. And if you think that in the past 5 years much has changed and hacker attacks on exchanges are rare, you are wrong. More than a quarter of a billion USD worth of crypto was stolen from exchanges in 2017. These days you have to choose the exchange carefully not to lose your money...
Problems with scalability
Many exchanges use rigid software architectures, offering almost no way to keep the transaction speed on the high level despite the growing number of traders. The problem became evident in 2017, when a large amount of investors rushed into cryptocurrency sphere due to the astronomical growth of Bitcoin. Because of this, many exchanges are running at a capacity that is close to the absolute maximum and will inevitably require long-lasting maintenance in the future in order to offer competitive speeds again. Trading on such exchanges even now can be a frustatingly slow experience - imagine how unusable they will be if even more traders will start using them!
Markets can get manipulated
It is no secret that in cryptocurrency sphere price manipulation is quite common. Using their comparatively large funds, speculators are creating pump-and-dump schemes or are manipulating the markets otherwise. Such price movements create barriers for new private and especially institutional investors in cryptocurrency sphere. What's more, manipulating the markets creates a negative image of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, braking the proccess of mass adoption.
Customer support is far from ideal
Probably due to small amount of people working in large exchanges' customer support, it can take weeks for ordinary user to have his problem solved. Such long waiting periods apply even to urgent cases. Imagine waiting 2 weeks if you, let's say, cannot access your account! In this case, you can lose large amounts of money because of crypto price fluctuations - a disheartening experience for any crypto trader.
Market liquidity is lousy
No exchange can function properly if the gap between lowest ask and highest bid is too big. Because of bad market liquidity, it can be easy to manipulate the market singlehandendly. Also, it doesn't create neccessary conditions for honest traders (small gap between lowest ask and highest bid).
Regulatory compliance is lacking
In current market conditions, regulatory compliance is neccessary to assure new individual and institutional investors that their investments are safe. The lack of compliance is not allowing exchanges to gain trust and create a money flow, thus holding off mass adoption of cryptocurrency and limiting the growth of the market.
How ONAM solves these problems
ONAM is built to be scalable
A matching engine is the component at the heart of every cryptocurrency exchange. If it doesn't work fast (which is the case with many exchanges), the whole trading experience is slow. ONAM matching engine was written using Google's GoLang language aimed at being used in computationally intense server applications. Because of that, it is blazing fast and capable of processing more than
10 000 000 transactions per second with latencies being extremely low at just 0.00000004 seconds! Crazy numbers, aren't they?
So why exactly these numbers matter?
With such speed and scalability, it is only a matter of time, when ONAM will have a large userbase. Now, let's build a small but important logical chain:
Speed+scalability = excellent trading experience
Excellent trading experience = large user base
Large user base = good liquidity+investments in crypto
Good liquidity+investments in crypto = high crypto prices
Speed+scalability = high crypto prices
Combating market manipulation using machine learning
Market Trade Surveillance, one of the ONAM's in-house developed systems using machine learning, is able to detect suspicious trades and suspend them. Following trade types fall under 'suspicious' category:
The usage of these systems ensures that all of the market members have equal opportunities and market manipulation is almost impossible. Fair market conditions create a good situation for inexperienced traders, allowing them to improve their skills safely without the risk of falling a victim to some local pump-and-dump scheme.
Responsive customer support
ONAM aims at providing the best customer service among all the major crypto currency exchanges. With the help of 24/7/365 Live Chats most user questions can be answered within 15 minutes. What's more, during the initial 6 months after the launch of exchange, phone support will be offered. Problems will be solved in a matter of minutes, making trading experience painless and attracting even more individual and institutional investors and traders, thus improving market liquidity as well.
Improving market liquidity using order books from multiple exchanges
ONAM plans to tackle the problem of poor market liquidity by attracting market makers, miners and volume traders. Multiple exchange order books will be utilized, solving the market manipulation issues and improving liquidity.
ONAM aims at being fully compliant
All the legal issues ONAM might come into in the future will be tackled by one of the top legal firms in the USA. This will allow the exchange team to concentrate on improving the product and not worry about the possible regulatory threats that might lead to shutting down the exchange. In the end, the users will feel safe and the product will develop faster, so it's a win-win situation.
Range of available cryptocurrencies
ONAM team plans to widen the available token range in the future.
Features of the exchange
Here are some of them:

ONAM ICO funds distribution
ONAM token
The value of ONAM tokens is guaranteed by their utility in ONAM platform only. They will not be traded on other exchanges. By using ONAM tokens, ICO participants will be able to unlock all of the ONAM features, as well as save up to 50% on the already impressively low fees. In order to create positive backpressure, every quarter ONAM will be buying back and burning the tokens using 25% of company's profits. This will continue until the 50% or 150 000 000 ONAM tokens are destroyed, depending on which is greater.

User interface of the exchange
ONAM exchange user interface is aiming to be highly intuitive with interface elements clearly divided. High contrast between background and elements ensures that all the information is easy to read. Also, because every trader has his own individual needs, the UI is modular and can be customized in several ways. Dark mode is also present, making using exchange in the dark pleasant.
Regulatory compliance
- Obtain a Broker/Dealer license
- Register as an Alternative Trading System (ATS)
- Become a member of Self Regulatory Organisation (SRO)
- Register as money transmitter in all of 50 U.S. states
- Check potential investors against multiple global AML watchlists
By making the exchange regulatory compliant, ONAM ensures that trades will not experience any trouble with the law by trading on it, allowing traders to concentrate on improving their skills instead of worrying about the laws.
Security
