Streamity: Most Secured P2P Cryptocurrency Exchange Platform

The present world has begun benefitting tremendously from the revolutionary technology called Blockchain. Although still limited to the financial service sector, it is such blooming increasingly every day, in importance and possibilities. Its possibilities are quite massive and has begun to manifest itself – from decentralizing the internet (an attempt already witnessed in Bandz Network) to decentralized social network like steemit. In fact, Blockchain is said to be able to reduce our carbon foot print and be able to provide security for the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The possibilities of Blockchain are truly enormous and its importance its seeing a continuous growth as well.

One of the possibilities of Blockchain is the decentralization of the platform for exchanging crуptоcurrеncy. This is when cryptocurrencies (a product of Blockchain which is used as a medium of exchange) are traded between two or more parties without the need for a centralized intermediary (such as steemexchange, or other currently existing exchange platforms). Such platform assures fair dealings, security and peace of mind while trading with a complete stranger over the blockchain. treamDesk is such platform.

With the ever growing rate of financial transactions roving tremendously across the internet and crytocurreny exchanges occupying a vast number of these transactions, we have witnessed an equal growth of trading platforms as well. However, due to the unregulated nature of cryptocurrency exchanges witnessed in many countries, the trading platforms are witness to earn uncontrollably at the expense of their customers through commissions or exchange rates. However, decentralizing this single trading need proves a viable defense to curbing the need for a third party between trading partners. This is where Sreamity has come in to a rescue.

What is STREAMITY?

According its official website, Steamity

StreamDesk is the first ever decentralized platform for exchanging crуptоcurrеncy for any currency, which allows users to trade without intermediaries, guarantees fair deals and security thanks to the architecture of smart-contracts and API of payment systems.

While it is designed to allow cryptocurrecy traders to help themselves with the benefits ensuing from its emergence while yet lessening the risk thereof.

As the existing exchange platforms for cryptocurrencies are generally centralized, producing a situation where customers trading over the platform must entrust their money (mostly in the form of cryptocurrencies) to a third party, who then could seize (and actually does) the helplessness of these customers to avail themselves of a huge rate of charges in the form of commissions or exchange rates.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) service is one that could improve the risk associated with entrusting the volatile cryptocurrencies in care of third parties. However, even it can only serve in the capacity of a trading platform where users meet to trade their cryptocurrencies. As safe as this may sound, even it is unable to address the underlying security issues associated with the volatility nature of cryptocurrencies, as a single security breach may endanger the cryptocurrencies being exchanged.

STREAMITY not only provide a platform to match users with same need together (exchange or trade), but also offers this service in a secure platforms through smart contracts with very minimum commission.

How does STREAMITY Differs from other Peer-to-Peer Cryptocurrency Exchange Services

To start with, I may have to explain what smart contract means.

What is meant by Smart Contract?

According to the Investopedia

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code. The code and the agreements contained therein exist across a distributed, decentralized blockchain network. Smart contracts permit trusted transactions and agreements to be carried out among disparate, anonymous parties without the need for a central authority, legal system, or external enforcement mechanism. They render transactions traceable, transparent, and irreversible.

All these without the interference of a third party! More like a duty of a lawyer in a traditional contract but without the presence of a lawyer or any person whatsoever except the two trading parties concerned. Smart Contract assists in the exchange of cryptocurrencies in a transparent manner in the absence of a middleman.

Thus, in the light of this, STREAMITY is actually the first Peer-2-Peer platform to employ the Smart Contract technology in its transaction mediums to provide further security to the exchange processes across its platform.

Furthermore, STREAMITY also plan to include informational, analytical and educational investment resources on its platform for its users to utilize in order to avail themselves with various investment opportunities and advises.

Now, with the existence of a P2P platform as this which guarantees security and fair trading amongst its users, the service provides an avenue of engagement in cryptocurrencies trading with no flaws. Also, cryptocurrencies, at this stage, is experiencing relunctancy in patronage particularly due to its volatile nature. But with STREAMITY, confidence of customers can be built thus ensuring the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange since transaction security is a major priority of STREAMITY.
