Awesome. Unique idea!
Blockchain.io will be dedicated to exchanging cryptocurrencies against each other,
a complementary offering to the founders’ fiat exchange, Paymium.
The Blockchain.io platform will combine the new-generation technology of a centralized
custodial exchange with decentralized “trustless” cross-chain “fair exchange” settlement.
The centralized cryptocurrency exchange will be a low-latency, full-featured exchange
with custody services, centralized order booking, and efficient order matching. As
Blockchain.io grows, it will add more functionalities such as margin trading, proprietary
lending, and peer-to-peer lending.
The decentralized cross-chain settlement will be based on cross-chain atomic swaps,
i.e. cryptographic protocols that allow users to settle transactions across heterogeneous
blockchain networks without ‘trusted’ third-party and without counterparty risk. This will
represent a big departure from traditional markets and a major step toward the Internet
of Value.
