In this episode of Crypto Riot, we sit down with Don Mosites the Co-founder of AirSwap. AirSwap is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange. The AirSwap platform seeks to connect users looking for a particular crypto with a seller that is sales that crypto. In this video Don Monsites answers many questions about the AirSwap platform and its plan for the future.
Decentralized exchanges are important for the future of cryptocurrencies. Decentralized exchanges are inline with the spirit of Blockchain technology and they also help prevent regulator overstep. In addition to that, these exchanges allow users to find trading pairs that may not be available on centralized exchanges like Binance.
AirSwap dex is using their exchange protocol called Swap. (ERC-20 only)
Kyber is a wallet that utilizes a network of liquidity providers to pay and convert tokens. (On-chain, ERC-20 only)
Request Network is a wallet/app (they compare themselves to Paypal) using the 0x protocol to provide liquidity (Off-chain, ERC-20 only)
OmiseGo a white label wallet protocol that will use Plasma to trade p2p off-chain
Tenx is creating COMIT, another off-chain p2p solution that works without a native token. I'm guessing this is like Plasma? and aims to work across all blockchains without creating a new blockchain.
OmegaOne dex I don't know what protocol they will be using but orderbook style exchange using their own reserves as well as liquidity from 0x relayers, centralized exchanges, etc.
