To see if its running or not, i would advise that you set it up and see it for yourself.

1) you would need to identify what are the roles that your project would need. This may include Tech Staff, support functions, sales, marketing etc.
2) Also, once you have a rough picture of what your project plan looks like, you can break it into milestones that you want to achieve. Put approximate dates.
3) Assuming that the project is well funded you can then prioritize building the team around your milestones, now that you know what you wish to do, by when, and with what kind of people.

You can then look at various hiring sites, post job openings on forms, etc.

Cheers, good luck.

thanks for your help.

At this point, any complementing idea that preserves user identity and data security is a great factor for my project. Would look at all of these options and check on how many of these would work into a DEX design.

Thanks, Will take a look at these as well.

The DEX that i plan to build has to be easy to use, without compromising on data security, user privacy and/or tracking.

Thanks.

I am trying to do some ground work into trying to create a new DEX . I have been using, following Bisq for a while now and feel that we need a solution that brings DEX to common users, and is easier to use. I do like the core architecture and the principles on which Bisq operates tough.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Let me take a look at these.

Greetings,

Given that most new users use Bitcoin/altcoin centralized exchanges, and as a result, have to give into the regulatory requirements that are imposed by the local governments on those exchanges by the means of KYC etc - Are there are first layer solutions that are in the works or any existing/proposed Bitcoin Improvement Proposals that solve for this user surveillance problem at the first layer itself?

I am a crypto entrepreneur who has some ideas on solving these on the first "application" layer (like wallets/exchanges etc), but want to understand if there are any existing projects or Bitcoin improvement proposals that aim to solve it "natively" within Bitcoin's first layer itself.


Cheers.
Gaurav
