What is Distributed Ledger Technology

A distributed ledger (also called a shared ledger, or distributed ledger technology, DLT) is a consensus of replicated, shared, and synchronized digital data geographically spread across multiple sites, countries, or institutions. There is no central administrator or centralized data storage.

Distributed ledgers are mostly known because of their use as cryptocurrencies, even if technically speaking the cryptocurrency and the underlying ledger are two different things. However, in practice, a distributed ledger needs to have a cryptocurrency (proprietary or used from another ledger) in order to provide incentives to keep the nodes up and running. Other possible uses beside cryptocurrencies include smart contracts (First introduced by Ethereum) or file storage.

Introduction DAEX Blockchain

DAEX is a clearing solution for centralized cryptocurrency trading based on Distributed Ledger Technology. Clearing and settlement rules are programmed into DAEX Clearing Smart Contracts. All clearing processes run automatically without human intervention. The clearing objectivity is guaranteed by the consensus mechanism on the clearing chain. In addition, ours customers digital assets are registered and stored in the DAEX clearing chain. No other institution or individual can access this asset without the owner's permission.

Implementations

The Clearing Chain
Cryptocurrency clearing service based on distributed ledger technology. It uses Clearing as a Service (CaaS) method to provide clearing services for cryptocurrency exchanges.
DAEX Wallet
A cryptocurrency wallet that supports multiple signatures and multiple digital assets. It accesses exchanges to trade cryptocurrencies and the clearing chain to manage its assets.
Multiple-Part Private Key
A private key that is broken into several parts. Some parts have to be used together to access assets in the wallet.
Clearing as a Service (CaaS)
A clearing service that is provided using a cloud mode. The clearing facility is deployed on a public cloud. Exchanges and clearing members obtain clearing related services through APIs or clients.

The main purpose of DAEX is to provide better infrastructure for cryptocurrency exchange by taking part in the main security of exchange industry and by taking advantages of the new chance that brought by distributed ledger technology. Specifically, trading and clearing will become separated into different entities. At this time the centralized exchange will continue provide trading services.

Security Problem

Hacking is still common in several exchange companies. This is difficult to avoid because of the lack of additional security on each platform. After hacking occurs frequently, many exchanges must reach consensus that general clearing and asset custodial services are needed to protect the market and to ensure sustainable market growth. The rapid development of cryptocurrency trading requires a more effective and safer clearing service. Therefore DAEX is the answer to the needs of this market.

DAEX Blockchain Ecosystem

Within the Ecosystem, DAEX consists of clearing services based on Distributed Ledger Technology, Centralized Exchange and the user's wallet. Traders use their wallets to trade on exchanges. After trading is matched on the exchange, the exchange sends trades that match the clearing service. CaaS clearing services are carried out by smart contracts on distributed ledger technology. During the initial phase of DAEX, cryptocurrency will be served. During the future DAEX phase, cryptocurrency derivatives will be serviced. That is, DAEX will provide clearing services for cryptocurrency derivatives traded on the exchange.

Advantages

Secure
Participating exchanges must meet the business and technology requirements of the ecosystem, thus the quality of trading service is maintained. User’s assets are all held on the blockchain.
