Company Description
The Balancer cryptocurrency is the reward token that fuels the Balancer market maker protocol. The Balancer protocol serves as a liquidity provider and a non-custodial portfolio manager. Unlike other automatic market maker protocols, such as Uniswap, Balancer is designed to provide a general solution that can be customized for a variety of trading pools with different distributions. It uses smart order routing to send trades to trading pools with the best rates available, and rewards traders by paying them a fee for increasing the liquidity of these pools. | Blocknet is a cross-chain protocol for inter-chain transactions and a decentralized exchange. It is primarily focused on connecting blockchain networks, but is also developing a decentralized exchange to enable trade digital assets across separate blockchains. It is meant to connect the growing number of blockchain projects and make them inter-operable. Blocknet uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism that has three different types of nodes to verify transactions. The network is powered by the BLOCK coin. | Newdex is the first EOS based decentralized exchange. It's built on the EOS main chain and uses an off-chain matching mechanism to pair buyers and sellers. Newdex was hacked in September 2018, and lost around $58,000 worth of cryptocurrencies. Trading fees are 0.1%. |
