Decentralized Exchanges and Atomic Swaps - Introducing Altcoin Exchange

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

Decentralized exchanges (DEX) are very hot now in the crypto space, and understandably so with all the issues surrounding centralized exchanges. Popular exchanges such as Binance and Kucoin have both hinted at moving to a decentralized model. The native tokens from both these exchanges have seen incredible growth of late.

Today I want to introduce a project I'm following closely that is going to have a fully decentralized model from the beginning, utilizing their atomic swap technology.

Introducing Altcoin Exchange

Altcoin exchange claimed to have performed the world's first Ethereum <> Bitcoin atomic swap. You can read their report here.

If you are not familiar with atomic swaps, I think you'll hear much more about it in the coming year. It will be the missing ingredient that will help DEX flourish as it will remove the need for a middleman. For this reason, I think Altcoin Exchange will become very popular once it is fully implemented.

You can sign up for updates and try out their beta (currently using only test coins)Atomic Swap Wallet here.

this is good news, I have no knowledge on atomic swap but I will start my research on it now. Thanks for the exposure.

Wow, decentralized def seems the way to go. Question, any clue what sort of fees are associated with atomic swaps?

Good question. Have no idea about the fees. Best way would be to sign up and wait for future announcements.

Hope Read and learn more about this new age, exchange is kind of dofficult here, so, i hope to the en donde this year have experience and knowledge about this, thanks for the advice bro, God Bless you.

Yes, crypto is a steep learning curve at first, but Steemit is a good source of information. God bless you too bro.

You’re welcome bro. Hope you’ve been well my friend.

I definitely need to learn more about them!

Decentralized exchanges will hopefully be the most common type of exchange a few years from now, so I have a feeling altcoin.io will be very popular if it's the first one that manages to function without a middle man. Very exciting times ahead!

Yes, agreed. Hope they pull it off.

I hope so as well! However, even if they don't, another one will do it at one point in the future. Decentralization of exchanges is happening sooner or later :)

Such a nice project to all’s. You try and tell us, I don’t hace any bitcoin, Ethereum, nothing. Just steem because I am beginner in this and I hope learning more, here in my country venezuela is difficul all these movement about crypto currency, but thanks for share this to eveyone. Bless
