INDEPENDENT RATING REPORT OF KYBER NETWORK BY DRC
The just-ended Consensus conference only leaves one huge blockchain festival for this month, Blockchain Festival Vietnam held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on 24 & 25 May 2018. Produced by Huobi Pro and co-organized by among others DRC, an independent crypto rating agency, the festival will host some of the biggest blockchain projects including KyberNetwork, Achain, DAXt, and NEM. You can visit the official blockchain festival website for more information, regarding projects and attendance tickets.
For this conference, DRC will exclusively conduct an independent review of 5 projects, Kyber, NEM, Achain, DASH & EOS. The usual price for a single rating report will only set you back a decent amount of $20,000. We are going to look at Kyber Network report in particular.
What is Kyber Network?
Kyber Network is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange for ERC-20 tokens. In addition to security, Kyber Network’s value proposition is instant trading, minimal fees, liquidity and compatibility. The native token on Kyber Network is Kyber Network Token(KNC)
Total supply: 134,132,697
Use cases of KNC:
- A fraction of transaction fees are payable in KNC by Reserve managers. Tokens paid these way are burnt, reducing supply of KNC.
Reserve managers offer token liquidity accessible to the network via smart contracts. - Reward partners in KNC for every trade introduced to Kyber Network
How does the Kyber Network work:
- Users initiate trade requests (either a market order or specifying a minimum conversion rate);
- Kyber Network fetches the best conversion rate offered amongst all of its externally-managed reserves; and
- A smart contract will then execute an atomic transaction and the user will receive their requested tokens directly to their wallet.
