Blockchain.io: Your Gateway to the Internet of Value

Introduction

Money as a commodity is largely regulated by a central body (government) over a territory. Before the emergence of cryptocurrency, money circulation and regulation is centralized, this act of centralization leads to imbalances in the wealth of populace where some people get richer and others wallow in poverty.

With the emergence of crypto currencies like Bitcoin, Ether, Dash and many other altcoins which are fully decentralized:not under the control of a central body like the government, the occurrence of money in our society is under evolution. Crypto currencies are fully digitally developed and decentralized, giving free license to communities and organisation to mint their own currency against the traditional way of waiting on the government in doing so. The digital ability of crypto currencies allows money and value to be transfer smoothly on the Internet just as we transfer information on the Internet today giving rise to the “Internet of Value”. Cryptocurrency has helped in transforming the the money and value transactions just as the same way Internet had helped transform the world communication system.

Cryptocurrency and digital token created by communities are traded on exchange platforms. Exchange platforms are digital market where cryptocurrency and tokens are traded against each other. Traditional exchanges are centralized(CEXs) as they still act as a third party and not fully support peer to peer exchanges leading to high charge of transaction fees on it users transactions, thereby minimixing user income, which makes them in one way or the other obstruct the full function of the idea of decentralization behind the creation of cryptocurrency. Traditional exchanges because of their centralized nature are prone to hack as we have seen in many cases with bitrex and Co.

Blockchain.io as an exchange platform promises to be the next big thing in the Internet of Value ecosystem with it fully decentralized nature and ability to execute a peer to peer exchange on it platform.

What is Blockchain.io?

Blockchain.io is a decentralized exchange platform that allows the trading of cryptocurrency and digital token against each other. Blockchain.io promises to be the next big thing in the Internet of Value ecosystem supporting a peer to peer transactions thereby allowing users to maximize financial return. Blockchain.io will combine the efficiency of a low-latency full-featured centralized exchange with decentralized “trustless” cross-chain settlement making it an hybrid exchange platform with optimum ability. Transactions on Blockchain.io can be carried out within it ecosystem via automated processes using the Hashed TimeLock Contracts (HTLC’s).

Crypto Exchanges Problems That Blockchain.io Aims To Fix

The major problems of the existing exchange platforms that blockchain.io looks to fix include:

■Security Breaches
■Opacity
■Non-compliance
■Outages

Blockchain.io Benefits

1. High security
2. Reliability
3. Accountability standards
4. Transparency

**Security On Blockchain.io **

Blockchain.io looks to maximise security on it platform by using a cold wallet in storing users funds. So many exchange platforms have been hacked from time past dur to their use of hot wallet in storing customers fund. Keys are stored in various secured vauts around the globe and access to this cold wallet requires multiple signature for maximum security.The implication of the mutiple key storage and mutiple signature to access cold wallwt means for a hack attempt to be successful, more than 70% of it members have to be compromised which is by far a daunting task.

Reliability, Transparency and Accountability Standards

• Blockchain.io will use the cryptographic experience of it team to achieve reliabilty through it carefully executed security features.
• Wil use it compliance feature such as complying with the requirements and standard of European Anti-Money Laundering Banking (AML), and also making- do with the KYC (know-your-customer) procedures.

Blockchain.io Regulatory Compliance

Blockchain.io and it parent company Paymium believed cryptocurrency will be regulated in the future. As we have seen in many cases of recent, some government temporarily banning the use of cryptocurrency and national regulatory body such as the SEC in the US and AMF in France looking to put in place a regulatory structure for the operation of cryptocurrency in these regions.

Having anticipated the regulatory requirements for the use of cryptocurrency, when the time comes blockchain.io will become the first exchange to be compliant once these regulations are put to shape leading to mass adoption of the exchange platform amongst crypto users in these regions.

Operation Model

The Blockchain.io exchage platform will be available in both mobile (iOS and Android) and desktop (Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX), the web version also will be available.
