Hi guys!
This article is about not very well-known but promising DEX (decentralized exchange). I track it for a long time and the project team has made great things!
The exchange is called CryptoBridge, ticker symbol - BCO. On site you can go to the web-version of the exchange, download a desktop client, take a look at the roadmap and read news.
The main advantage of DEX - “killing” of dependence on a specific team that is working on the project, their servers etc. DEX allows not to send private keys to third persons, they can be stored locally and everyone will be responsible for their own security.
Secondly, the exchange should not go offline because the servers/nodes are located in different countries. This in addition should eliminate the risk of exchange being closed by any government. In general, DEX asks the question "why do we build a decentralized economy, but still trust our savings to the centralized exchanges?" This is definitely one of the trends in 2018.
CryptoBridge uses the BitShares platform with distributed Gateways, through which you can safely deposit coins on the exchange. BitShares have an excellent bandwidth based on its own blockchain. So BitShares exchange, Open Ledger and CryptoBridge can seamlessly co-exist.
An important and very interesting moment - BitShares and CryptoBridge are compatible with various additional functions that can be implemented on the exchange. The main ones are TradingView (already in development), special DEXBot for marketmaking and other.
