Decentralized exchange design
the first step is to register (open an account) and set the password. The second step is user authentication (KYC). The third step is to recharge. Here comes the key. The third step is the most important. Because you need to charge money to your address in the exchange before you can trade money in the exchange. The address of the exchange is actually a wallet address, but the ownership of the wallet is not the user, but the exchange, that is to say, the private key of the address, you don't have it!!! Do you understand the meaning
well, after recharging, the transaction is finished. The user submits the instruction (hanging order) to the server, and then the exchange will be responsible for matching the transaction, which is exactly the same as the stock. The last is cash withdrawal (withdrawal of currency). Users can send instructions to transfer the currency from the exchange address to their wallet address. The above is the trading mechanism of the centralized exchange. In these steps, all actions will have costs. No matter you recharge, trade or withdraw money, gas and handling charges can't escape
then let's look at the decentralized exchange. The trading mechanism is different from the centralized exchange. The first step is to register (open an account) and set the password. It doesn't make any difference. But then it's a little different. KYC is not used. But because there is a private key, the ownership of this address is completely controlled by the user. The second step is recharging. This is not very different from the centralized exchange. You still have to make your own gas
after recharging, we can also trade in the decentralized exchange. Users can also register orders, and exchanges will also be responsible for matching transactions, but the matching is done by smart contracts. Finally, cash withdrawal (withdrawal of currency) is initiated. After withdrawing currency, users can directly transfer the currency from the address of the exchange to their wallet address. This step is the same as that of the centralized exchange
the above is the trading mechanism of centralized and decentralized exchanges, and the difference between them is also obvious. Because all currencies in the central exchange are under its control, the trading efficiency is very high, and it is similar to the stock trading process, convenient and suitable for most users. Conversely, the risk lies in this. If the exchange itself loses its integrity or is attacked by hackers, the user's capital (currency) is not guaranteed
all the transaction processes of decentralized exchanges are completed by smart contracts, so the transaction efficiency is relatively low (TPS of blockchain technology has always been a soft rib), but relatively, the capital (currency) is completely in the hands of users, so the security is relatively high. In addition, there are also KYC, where KYC is needed for centralization, but not for decentralization, and the security of personal information is relatively high. Compared with the decentralized exchange, the advantages of the centralized exchange lie in the trading depth and the number of users, which are unmatched by the decentralized exchange
therefore, centralization and decentralization have their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on the user's own choice. They like convenient, centralized, secure and decentralized.
we all know that one of the biggest characteristics of digital currency is decentralization. However, 90% of the exchanges in the market are under centralized management. Users need to transfer funds to the large account of the exchange, verify their identity information, and do not link currency transactions. Moreover, all information needs to be stored in the offline database of the exchange, All these seem to violate the decentralized spirit and centralized mode of blockchain, which makes users in a weak position, passively accept the "management" of the exchange, and also bear the risk of privacy leakage, hacker attack, exchange bankruptcy or running away
therefore, the emergence of decentralized exchanges has become an inevitable trend. Decentralized exchanges are also called DEX
currently, whaleex, newdex and gatechain DEX are the most representative decentralized transactions. In fact, it is a mode of wallet and wallet trading. Compared with the centralized exchange, it has obvious advantages. For example, all operations are carried out on the chain. It is publicly accessible and does not need to be registered. Anonymous trading and privacy are guaranteed. Users' assets are stored in a distributed way. They have 100% of the management rights of assets and have high security
however, although decentralized exchanges have obvious advantages, they are still not widely available in the market. Decentralized exchange is not a very mature mode, and there are still some problems, such as slow trading speed, poor liquidity, key loss, forgotten password and unable to retrieve account assets. Therefore, it needs to be further improved. However, it is undeniable that decentralized trading must be the mainstream mode of exchanges in the future.
secondly, the biggest value of the decentralized exchange is that users have absolute control over their own assets, and all transaction data and records will be linked through the blockchain smart contract, so as to ensure the openness and transparency of transactions and greatly rece the trust cost of users to the exchange
thirdly, it is very difficult for hackers to steal user assets unless they can get each user's private key. Even if the exchange's private key is leaked, the user's assets cannot be transferred without the user's private key, so it is very safe. With decentralized exchanges, you no longer have to worry about the risk of losing or stealing money
for this reason, with the graal maturity of the underlying technology of blockchain, decentralized exchange has great development potential, which is the trend in the future.
compared with the early Internet (WEB 1.0) era, Web 2.0 content is no longer proced by professional websites or specific groups, but the result of participation and creation by all Internet users with equal rights. Anyone can express their views on the Internet or create original content to proce information together
with the diversification of network service forms, the decentralized network model becomes more and more clear and possible. After the rise of Web 2.0, the services provided by Wikipedia, Flickr, blogger and other network service providers are decentralized. Any participant can submit content, and Internet users can co create or contribute content
with the emergence of more simple and easy-to-use decentralized network services, the characteristics of Web2.0 become more and more obvious. For example, the birth of services more suitable for ordinary Internet users, such as twitter and Facebook, makes it easier and more diversified to proce or contribute content to the Internet, thus enhancing the enthusiasm of Internet users to participate in the contribution and recing the threshold of procing content. Eventually, every netizen becomes a tiny and independent information provider, making the Internet more flat and content proction more diversified
decentralized computing is a computing mode that allocates hardware and software resources to each workstation or office. In contrast, centralized computing is to centralize most computing functions locally or remotely. Decentralized computing is a modern computing model. On the contrary, centralized computing generally existed in the early computing environment. A decentralized computer system has many advantages over the traditional centralized network. With the rapid development of desktop computers, their potential performance far exceeds the performance requirements of most business applications. As a result, most desktop computers have idle computing power. A decentralized computing system can maximize the efficiency of these potential. However, whether it increases the effectiveness of the whole network is still open to question.
1. Enjin (enj)
in the near future, the game instry is the instry most likely to adopt blockchain on a large scale. Enjin coin is the cryptocurrency of virtual goods created by Enjin. Enjin is the "largest online gaming community platform" with more than 250000 gaming communities and 18.7 million registered gamers
Cardano (ADA)compared with Ethereum, EOS and Tron, Cardano is the third generation of decentralized app (DAPP) and smart contract platform. Cardano's design philosophy has the following points:
scalability: with the growth of users, the transaction processing speed is not affected or even faster, such as P2P protocol
interoperability: in the future, there will be countless devices connected to each other, instead of only connecting and forwarding through routers. All kinds of devices can communicate directly through standard general protocol
Sustainability: like bitcoin, Cardano project will not be controlled and influenced by a certain company or organization, which is a safe, decentralized and sustainable development platform
With the popularity of sto (security token offers), Nash also plays an important role. Nash is a kind of registered security token. In the past, Nash participated in and led the development of many projectsNash exchange is a decentralized exchange. If you hold nex token, you can calculate the dividend here
4. Basic attention token (BAT)
bat mainly solves the problem of advertising:
user information is abused: large companies such as Google and Facebook track and use user information and behavior, and sell without the knowledge of users
the effect of advertising is restrained: middlemen earn most of the fees, a large number of advertisements are blocked by users using software, and advertisements are fake
in the past six to 12 months, the number of publishers using the brand browser (Note: the brand browser supports bat token) has grown rapidly, and almost no blockchain ecosystem has grown so fast
5, chainlink (link)
chainlink mainly solves the problem that each blockchain has and the smart contract cannot obtain external data. In order to introce external data into the blockchain, the concept of Oracle is proposed in smart contract
companies including Google are supporting the development of chainlink. Here is a list of chainlink partners
one of the main problems of chainlink is similar to Ethereum. The development team has reserved 650 million link tokens, while only 350 million are in circulation at present
Ethereum (ETH)Ethereum has long occupied the second place in the top 100 cryptocurrencies. Its ecology is so big that we can't call it altcoin now. To tell you the truth, I'm not optimistic about Ethereum in the long run, but it will flourish in the short run
