各位币民好

在过去的几个月里，我们团队昼夜不停地完成了Lake Trade。这是一个无手续费的去中心化交易平台，而且你可以从你的以太坊账户进行直接交易。现在，我们非常高兴能够将它介绍给Bitcointalk社区！

我们的交易平台是建立在以太坊和0x协议上的。我们的设计理念是创造一个安全高速并容易入手的平台。通过0x协议，我们可以与其他建立在这个协议上的软件共享流动性，也就是说你可以立即开始交易不同币种，并在我们的平台上看到足够的交易量。

这是我们的交易界面:



点击这里进入我们的交易平台!

现在的lake trade还没有达到我们对完美的解读，这些是我们需要改进的地方

• 中心化交易平台的交易量会更高
• 网站速度还有待提高（但是已经很稳定了！）
• 你需要支付一定的以太坊交易消耗 （但与正常手续费相比极低）
• 与中心化交易不同，我们会维持一个开放的订单簿，而不直接匹配交易
• 由于法律原因，我们目前不支持美国用户（我们现在正在努力解决这个问题，但这需要一定的时间和金钱支持）

可能你会想：“又是一个交易平台，你们有什么特殊的地方？“

我们的特色是：

• 无手续费 - 我们愿意创造实际价值而不是盲目的收取费用
• 百万级交易额 - 我们与0x网络共享资金
• 交易热门ERC-20 币 - DNT, BAT, REP, REQ, OMG 等等!
• 友好而功能性强的界面 - 在我们的人性化界面上，你可以交易ERC-20币种，还有更多功能即将到来 (保证金交易, 杠杆交易等等)
• 帐户功能 - 在我们的网站上你可以清晰地看到你的账户余额，投资分析，我们未来还会提供更多更强大的图表分析
• 从你的账户直接交易 - 无需注册。我们支持Metamask，即将支持Ledger和Trezor!
• 真人客服 - 我们的团队会回答您各种疑问，而不是人机预录答案

Lake Trade是我们计划中的一部分，我们更大的决心是建立金融2.0

这是历史里第一次人类可以建造全球性公平包容无摩擦的P2P金融系统: 因为它的存在，我们可以直接互相交易，同时我们的资产享有100%的安全保障.
在探索这个新科技，建立合适的软件的过程中，我们也同时在建立一个更加透明化，更包容，更高效，并以用户为中心的市场。
我们需要一个去中心化的金融系统带领我们完成这个任务。作为一个团队，我们专注于建立安全并用户体验优秀的产品，并希望更多人可以通过这个平台能够以最低的费用实现无缝交易，维持资产量，并实现他们的理财目标。



在这个过程中，我们会一直在与政府机构合作，确保所有软件合格合规

最近的EtherDelta's SEC charges官司打的火热，这也对我们的交易平台有所影响。
对我们来说，与机构建立合作关系是至关重要的。我们愿意一起更进步，进而进一步整合加密货币。在这个过程中，我们会尽我们所能地遵守证券法和适用法规。

为了确保我们服从法规，我们采取了以下步骤:

• 我们有一个尽职调查程序，以确保我们只列出实用型代币。我们没有列出任何证券型代币
• 我们建立了黑名单功能，以防止在Lake Trade上列出的代币在非法的地区被交易
• 我们已制定条款和条件以适用这些监管要求
• 我们正积极与行业专家和法律顾问讨论最佳合规步骤

下一步是什么？ 由AI提供动力的自动投资

财务2.0中经常被忽视的部分是财富保值和增长。人类需要任何人都可以使用的工具，其成本远低于当今传统的投资选择。
凭借我们团队在数据科学和人工智能方面的深厚专业知识，我们的下一个目标是建立一个人工智能驱动的投资基金，任何人都可以使用。我们已经在人工智能方面取得了很大的进展，我们已经开始严格的反测试测试，以确保性能稳定。
我们将在此处发布更多更新，因为我们使用AI进行更全面的测试。如果您想保持联系，请在我们的网站 http://lakeproject.co 上订阅我们的邮件列表。

帮助我们建立下一代开放式金融体系

我们的使命是建立优质产品，使全世界的人们能够根据自己的需求做出正确的经济决策。 Lake Trade只是一个开始，我们正在探索更多的想法。
请留下您的建设性反馈意见，我们很乐意与大家一起解决任何问题，构建新的有用功能，或帮助解决加密领域的其他挑战！
能够确保我们成功的最重要的事情就是更多用户采用我们的产品。这使我们有资格获得资助，申请资金，筹集资金和经营可持续发展的业务。

关于Lake Trade的常见问题

如果Lake Trade不收取任何手续费，你们如何赚钱?
作为交易者自己，我们不相信每笔交易的镍和日期，您只需要自己承担以太坊燃气费，并且您可以根据需要进行交易。
我们相信，如果我们能够为用户提供具有真正实用性和价值的功能，那么他们将愿意为这些功能付费。我们计划在未来推出投资组合管理工具和其他增值功能。
我们还计划推出一个智能AI驱动的投资基金，该基金将在Lake Trade之上运营，您可以无忧购买。

我怎么知道这是安全的？
您可以完全控制您的资金，因为您通过安全连接钱包直接通过Lake Trade进行对等交易。您永远不需要交出私钥，也不需要将任何钱托付给我们。

我如何开始使用Lake Trade？
你需要的只是以太坊钱包（Metamask）中的一些ETH，而你已经完成了所有设置。只需访问 https://trade.lakeproject.co 进行交易。

你们为什么不支持美国?
根据最近的EtherDelta SEC指控，很明显美国证券交易委员会正在对去中心化的证券型代币或没有适当许可证的去中心化交易平台进行打击。许多代币被美国证券交易委员会视为证券，根据美国现行法规，向一个没有许可证的美国公民授予交易证券的访问权是非法的。
我们无意促进任何非法活动。我们认为，为了实现密码货币的大规模采用，与监管机构合作非常重要，因为我们理解监管机构的作用是介入并保护消费者。目前，这意味着我们需要遵守现行法律，并继续注册营业执照。
我们期待与监管机构合作推进这一领域的发展，并为这种颠覆性技术和新资产类别制定新的合理法规。

Hey guys,

So my team and I spent the last 6 months designing and building a user-friendly zero-fee decentralized trading platform on the 0x protocol called Lake Trade.
It's already live here: https://trade.lakeproject.co

I know there's a bunch of OGs on here who would be able to provide invaluable insight, we'd love and get everyone's feedback on the design and user experience, and what features might be useful for you guys.

What's good about out platform:
- We don't charge any trading fees, you only pay the Ethereum gas fees
- You trade from your own wallet so you don't need to entrust your tokens to a 3rd party and risk hacks
- There's no signups, so way easier to start trading right away by simply connecting your wallet
- We also plan to add premium portfolio tracking and tax reporting features that are crucial for traders (this is our business model, we don't believe in nickle and diming users just because, we believe in building and charging only for features that add value to our users)

What's currently being worked on:
- There are obviously not as much liquidity as centralized exchanges (we are looking into integrating them and becoming a Hybrid platform)
- Trade execution wont' be as fast (we're built on the 0x protocol, and the decentralized technology needs time to mature, it's getting quite good though!)
- Only ERC-20 tokens for now, others coming (margin trading, ERC-721, Bitcoin, etc)

Is it complete trash? Let us know why!
Love it? What do you love about it?


Happy to get any feedback so we can build the best trading experience possible

So we built one (https://trade.lakeproject.co), and here's my thoughts on decentralized vs centralized:

Pros:
- You trade from your own wallet so you don't need to entrust your tokens to a 3rd party and risk hacks
- You can't be censored as you can take your tokens anywhere, and you have full control over where you trade
- On our platform, there's no signups, so way easier to start trading right away by simply connecting your wallet
- We don't charge any trading fees, you only pay the Ethereum gas fees
- We also plan to add premium portfolio tracking and tax reporting features that are crucial for traders (this is our business model, we don't believe in nickle and diming users just because, we believe in building and charging only for features that add value to our users)

Cons:
- There are obviously not as much liquidity as centralized exchanges (we are looking into integrating them and becoming a Hybrid platform)
- Trade execution wont' be as fast (we're built on the 0x protocol, and the decentralized technology needs time to mature, it's getting quite good though!)
- Only ERC-20 tokens for now, others coming (margin trading, ERC-721, Bitcoin, etc)

Happy to share any thoughts since we're building this first hand and we're quite familiar with the challenges and potentials.

Blockchain won't "fail" because it's simply a technology and methodology to enable the flow of value and data that is immutable and transparent. There are tons of use cases that benefit from these factors, and just as the internet enables the information superhighway, blockchain enables the value superhighway, where value can flow freely and efficiently, and we can do commerce, and transact trustlessly.

Truth is no one knows.

So I'm part of a team actually building a decentralized trading platform right now (https://trade.lakeproject.co), here's my 2 cents:

- I don't think exchanges are dead, it's just a bear market and crypto winter right now, the next bull run interest will flood back
- You're totally right, being a new startup in this space is tough, especially in this market
- The market is saturated with centralized exchanges, but DEXes have barely taken off yet, and the UX is lacking. I think there are many value-adds that startups can bring to drive adoption of DEXes
- I think we'll continue to see more Hybrid exchanges, that's something we're working on as well, a central place to trade anywhere, to solve the liquidity problem

It's still early days, so we're not too worried during this crypto winter, we're in this for the long haul.

Everyone who praises this guy needs to watch the documentary about him called Gringo on Netflix.

The guy is a con artist, he's purely in this to make easy money being paid by shitcoin ICOs. Don't trust anything that he spews.

Представляем Lake Trade - Децентрализованная Торговая Платформа

Дорогие ходлеры,

Централизованные обменники страдают от плохого пользовательского интерфейса. От неудачного интерфейса Bitgrail, до сумасшедших цен на крипто проэкты, обмен валют кажеться диким западом.
Разумеется, с появлением более авторитетных обменников, таких как Binance, централизованные обмены способствовали распространению крипто-активов, а платформы, такие как Coinbase / Gemini, служат как ценное место для торговли регулярных валют.
Но если оставить их без присмотра, они будут представлять угрозу для нашей экосистемы, потому что:
Они препятствуют беспристрастной натуре крипто-активов, контролируя передачу данных и сам обмен крипто-валют.

А также они:
•   Взимают комиссии
•   Могут блокировать обмен (блокировка кошельков, замораживания транзакций)
•   Являются восприимчивыми к взломам, подвергая ваши активы риску в их заключении (более $ 1 млрд. токенов, уже украдены из-за хаков в обменниках в 2018 году!)

Нам нужен лучший способ сохранить эту без рисковую натуру крипто-активов. Если мы хотим построить более открытую финансовую систему без посредников, мы должны предоставить людям возможность участвовать в обмене при небольших затратах и удобной манипуляции системы.

Мы считаем, что все начинается с децентрализованной торговли.
Мы создали Lake Trade, децентрализованную торговую платформу без тарифов:
В течение последних нескольких месяцев мы работаем круглосуточно, чтобы создать децентрализованную торговую платформу без тарифов под названием Lake Trade , где вы можете торговать непосредственно из своего кошелька Ethereum. Без регистраций, тарифов или уловок.

Lake Trade построена на протоколе 0x и разработана с нуля, чтобы дать вам быструю и беспрепятственную платформу для торговли.



Пробуйте Lake Trade Сейчас:
http://trade.lakeproject.co/

Это не финальная версия, но вот что вы можете ожидать:
•   Централизованные обмены будут иметь более высокую ликвидность
•   Торговля выполняется медленнее, но улучшается (они становятся очень хорошими!)
•   Вам нужно будет оплатить тарифы на газ Ethereum (значительно меньше, чем большинство обменных сборов)
•   Мы поддерживаем открытую книгу заказов, мы не соответствуем сделкам напрямую, как централизованные обмены
•   К сожалению, по причинам соблюдения мы в настоящее время не поддерживаем США (мы работаем над этим, но это требует времени и денег)

Теперь вы можете сказать: «Очередной Рилеер - что в нем особенного?»

Вот почему вы должны использовать Lake Trade:
•   Торговля без платы- Мы хотим создать достойную систему без ограничений
•   Миллионы долларов в обороте - мы разделили ликвидность с сетью 0x
•   Торговля популярных ERC-20 валют - DNT, BAT, REP, REQ, OMG и многое другое!
•   Удобный и мощный - мы построили понятную и удобную платформу для торговли ERC-20 валют, с еще большим успехом (маржинальная торговля и деривативы)
•   Возможности портфолио - Мы реализовали диаграммы, чтобы показать распределение ваших валют, а также другие аналитические возможности.
•   Торговля с вашего кошелька - без регистрации. Мы поддерживаем Metamask. Поддержка Ledger и Trezor в ближайшее время!
•   Реальная поддержка клиентов - Мы поддерживаем клиентов с помощью чата или электронной почты. Ожидайте ответа в течение двух часов с момента вопроса!

Lake Trade – это только часть нашего видения - мы стремимся построить Финансирование 2.0
Впервые в истории у нас есть технология, которая позволяет нам строить глобально инклюзивную финансовую систему: такую, которая позволяет нам торговать друг с другом, имея при этом полный контроль над нашими активами.
Используя эту новую технологию и создавая правильные инструменты, мы можем создавать рынки, которые являются более открытыми, инклюзивными и эффективными для пользователя.
Чтобы добраться туда, нам нужно построить децентрализованный финансовую платформу. Как команда, мы полны решимости быть первыми в создание безопасных продуктов, которые позволяют людям беспрепятственно торговать во всем мире по низкой цене.


Чтобы реализовать это новое будущее, нам необходимо работать совместно с юристами
Мы уверены что многие наслышаны об обвинениях выдвинутых торговой платформы EtherDelta. Эти обвинения также имеют последствия для нашей платформы.
Мы считаем, что крайне важно налаживать отношения сотрудничества с регулирующими органами и работать вместе над достижением значимого прогресса и ускорением принятия крипто-валют. Для этого мы делаем все возможное, чтобы всегда соответствовать законам о ценных бумагах и действующим правилам.

Чтобы всегда соответствовать, мы делаем следующие шаги:

1. Мы обязаны перечислять только токены утилиты. Мы не перечисляем токены безопасности
2. Мы создали возможности черного списка, чтобы предотвратить доступ к нашей торговой платформе для регионов, где незаконно торговать токенами перечисленными на Lake Trade
3. Мы установили условия для отражения нормативных требований, когда это применимо
4. Мы активно общаемся с экспертами и юрисконсультом о лучших шагах для соответствия с законами.


Что дальше? Автоматическое инвестирование на основе нашего ИИ (Искусственный Интеллект)
Часто забываемая часть в Финансирование 2.0 - сохранение богатства и рост. Нам нужны инструменты, которые каждый сможет использовать при значительно меньших затратах чем традиционные варианты инвестиций сегодня.
Благодаря глубокому опыту нашей команды в области разработки и ИИ, наша следующая цель - создать инвестиционный фонд, ориентированный на ИИ, доступный для всех и во всем мире. Мы уже добились значительного прогресса в ИИ, и мы начали тщательное тестирование, чтобы обеспечить успешную производительность.
Мы будем размещать дополнительные обновления, поскольку мы проводим более комплексное тестирование с помощью нашего ИИ. Если вы хотите оставаться в курсе событий, подпишитесь на нашу рассылку на нашем веб-сайте по адресу: [http://lakeproject.co](http://lakeproject.co/)

Помогите нам построить открытую финансовую систему нового поколения
Наша миссия – создавать удобные и эффективные продукты, которые позволяют людям во всем мире принимать правильные экономические решения для своих нужд. Lake Trade - это только начало!
Пожалуйста, оставляйте комментарий, и мы будем рады помочь с любой возникшей трудностью!
Самое важное, что может обеспечить наш успех при запуске - это большой поток пользователей принимающих активное участие в обмене крипто-активов. Это дает нам право на получение грантов, возможность подачи заявок на финансирование, сбор денег и управления устойчивым бизнесом.
Наша команда готова помочь с любыми вопросами, и вы можете обращаться к нам по Discord или электронной почте hello [at] lakeproject.co

Часто задаваемые вопросы о Lake Trade

Как вы зарабатываете деньги, если Lake Trade не взимает плату?
Как трейдеры, мы не верим в то что вы должны тратить деньги для торговли, все что вам нужно, это покрыть расходы на газ Ethereum, и вы можете торговать столько, сколько хотите.
Мы считаем, что, если мы сможем предоставить функционал, который имеет ценность для наших пользователей, тогда они будут готовы заплатить за него. У нас есть планы по внедрению инструментов управления портфолио и других функций с дополнительной стоимостью в будущем.
Мы также планируем внедрить интеллектуальный инвестиционный фонд, управляемый ИИ (Искусственным Интеллектом), который работает поверх Lake Trade.

Почему я должен быть уверен что это безопасно?
У вас есть полный контроль над вашими средствами, так как вы торгуете напрямую, сквозь Lake Trade, со своего надежного кошелька. Вам не понадобиться передавать свои личные ключи или доверять нам свои деньги.

Как начать работу с Lake Trade?
Все, что вам нужно, это ETH в кошельке Ethereum (Metamask), и все готово. Просто перейдите на http://trade.lakeproject.co/ и начинайте торговать.

Почему вы не поддерживаете США?
С недавними обвинениями EtherDelta SEC ясно, что SEC раскалывается и стремиться децентрализованным торговым платформам, которые перечисляют крипто-активы безопасности или работают без лицензий. Многие крипто-активы считаются ценными бумагами SEC, и согласно действующим нормам в США незаконно предоставлять доступ к торговым ценным бумагам гражданам США, не являясь лицензированным субъектом, обладающим правами на это.
У нас нет намерений содействовать какой-либо незаконной деятельности, и мы считаем, что для достижения массового принятия крипто валют важно работать совместно с регулирующими органами на совместной основе, и мы понимаем, что роль регулирующих органов состоит в том, чтобы вмешаться и защитить потребителей. В настоящее время это означает, что мы должны соблюдать действующие законы и двигаться вперед с регистрацией для получения надлежащих лицензий.

Hey fellow hodlers and buidlers!

For the past few months, we've been working around the clock on building a ZERO-FEE decentralized trading platform called Lake Trade, where you can trade directly out of your Ethereum wallet. We're super excited to finally launch it to the Bitcointalk community!

We've built this on Ethereum and the 0x protocol, and designed it from the ground up to be secure, fast and user-friendly. Building on 0x gives us immediate, shared liquidity with the 0x network, which means you can start trading today and see real volume on our platform.

Here's what it looks like:



Try Lake Trade now!

http://trade.lakeproject.co/

It's not perfect, here's what to expect:

• Centralized exchanges will have higher liquidity
  
• Trade execution is slower but improving (they're getting pretty good!)
• You will need to pay Ethereum gas fees (significantly less than most exchange fees)
• We maintain an open order book, we do not match trades directly like centralized exchanges
• Unfortunately for compliance reasons we currently do not support the US (We're working on this, but it takes time and money)

Now, you might be thinking: "Not another relayer - what's so special about this one?"

Here's what makes Lake Trade great:

• Zero-Fee Trades - We believe in creating things of value, not paywalls
• Millions $ in Volume - We have shared liquidity with the 0x network
• Trade Popular ERC-20 Tokens - DNT, BAT, REP, REQ, OMG and more!
• User-Friendly & Powerful - We built an intuitive and beautiful platform for trading ERC-20 tokens, with more to come (margin trading, derivatives)
• Portfolio features - So far we've implemented charts to show the allocation of your balances, with other analytics on our roadmap
• Trade From Your Wallet - No signups. We support Metamask, with Ledger and Trezor support soon!
• Real Customer Support - We ACTUALLY have customer support with live chat or email

Lake Trade is one piece of our vision - We're aiming to build Finance 2.0

For the first time in history, we have a technology that enables us to build a globally inclusive, frictionless, and peer-to-peer financial system: one that enables us to trade value directly with each other, all while having full custody of our assets and money.

By harnessing this new technology and building the right tools, we can create markets that are more transparent, inclusive, efficient and user-centric.

To get there, we need to build a decentralized financial stack. As a team, we are determined to be at the forefront of building secure, user-first products that empowers people to preserve their wealth, trade seamlessly, and do commerce globally at low cost.



To realize this new future, we need to work collaboratively with regulators

As I'm sure everyone's aware by now of EtherDelta's SEC charges. This obviously has implications for the Lake Project and our trading platform.

We believe it's crucial to build a cooperative relationship with regulators, and work together to build meaningful progress and to advance adoption of cryptocurrencies. To do that, we are doing our best to be compliant with securities laws and applicable regulations.

To be compliant, we're taking the following steps:

1. We have a due diligence process in place to ensure we list only utility tokens. We do not list any security tokens
2. We have built blacklist capabilities to prevent access to our trading platform for regions where it's illegal to trade the tokens listed on Lake Trade
3. We've put terms and conditions in place to reflect these regulatory requirements where applicable
4. We're actively talking to industry experts and legal counsel on best steps forward to be compliant



What's Next? Automatic Investing powered by our A.I.

The often overlooked piece in Finance 2.0 is wealth preservation and growth. We need tools that anyone can take advantage of, at significantly lower costs than traditional investment options today.

With our team's deep expertise in data-science and AI, our next goal is to build an AI-driven investment fund available to anyone, anywhere. We've already made good progress on the AI, and we've begun rigorous back-testing to ensure performance.

We'll be posting more updates on this as we do more comprehensive testing with our AI. If you want to stay connected, please subscribe to our mailing list on our website at [http://lakeproject.co](http://lakeproject.co/)

Help us build a next-generation Open Financial System

We're on a mission to build great products that empower people all over the world to make the right economic decisions for their needs. Lake Trade is just the beginning, and we have more ideas we're exploring.

Please leave a comment with your constructive feedback and we'd be happy to work with everyone to fix any issues, build out new useful features, or help tackle other challenges in the crypto-space!

The most important thing that can ensure our success as as startup is more users adopting our products. This allows us to become eligible for grants, apply for funding, raise money, and operate a sustainable business.

Our team is around to help with any questions, and you can chat with us on Discord, or email us at hello@lakeproject.co.

FAQs About Lake Trade

How do you make money if Lake Trade is feeless?

As traders ourselves, we don't believe in nickle and diming for every trade, all you need is to cover the Ethereum gas fees yourself, and you can trade as much as you want.

We believe that if we can deliver features that have true utility and value to our users, then they'll be willing to pay for those. We have plans to introduce portfolio management tools, and other value-added features down the road.

We also plan to introduce an intelligent AI-driven investment fund that operates on top of Lake Trade you can easily buy into.

How do I know it's secure?

You have full control of your funds, as you're trading directly peer to peer through Lake Trade, by securely connecting your wallet. You never need to hand over your private keys, or entrust any of your money to us.

How do I get started with Lake Trade?

All you need is some ETH in an Ethereum wallet (Metamask), and you're all set. Simply visit http://trade.lakeproject.co to trade.

How come you don't support the US?

With the recent EtherDelta SEC charges, it's clear that the SEC is cracking down and frowning upon decentralized trading platforms who are listing security tokens or operating without proper licenses. Many tokens are deemed securities by the SEC, and under current regulations in the US, it's illegal to grant access to trade securities to US citizens without being a licensed entity with the rights to do so.

We have no intentions to facilitate any illegal activities, and we believe that in order to achieve mass adoption of crypto, it's important to work together with regulators in a collaborative manner, and we understand that it's the role of regulators to step in and protect consumers. Currently, that means we need to comply with existing laws and move forward with registering for the proper licenses.

We look forward to working with regulatory bodies to advance this space forward, and develop new sensible regulations for this disruptive technology and new asset class.

How do I request a feature or report bugs?

Please make a post in our Subreddit here: /r/LakeProject or chat with us on Discord or Telegram!

Hey there! Happy to explain:

Our AI is a genetic based AI that is going to built right into our products and Lake Trade, and it will automatically create a portfolio of high performance assets and continuously rebalance and diversify.
You'll be able to buy into various different funds that the AI creates, and basically leave your investment on autopilot.

The primary different with our AI driven funds is that it's going to be actually rebalancing constantly unlike existing crypto index funds where it just indexes the top 10 or 20 tokens, and we also plan it open it up to anyone, anywhere, at a significantly lower cost than traditional investment funds or crypto funds.

If you'd like to learn more I'll be happy to dive a bit more into the details as well!

By harnessing this new technology and building the right tools, we can create markets that are more transparent, inclusive, efficient and user-centric.

To get there, we need to build a decentralized financial stack. As a team, we are determined to be at the forefront of building secure, user-first products that empowers people to preserve their wealth, trade seamlessly, and do commerce globally at low cost.



To realize this new future, we need to work collaboratively with regulators

As I'm sure everyone's aware by now of EtherDelta's SEC charges. This obviously has implications for the Lake Project and our trading platform.

We believe it's crucial to build a cooperative relationship with regulators, and work together to build meaningful progress and to advance adoption of cryptocurrencies. To do that, we are doing our best to be compliant with securities laws and applicable regulations.

To be compliant, we're taking the following steps:

1. We have a due diligence process in place to ensure we list only utility tokens. We do not list any security tokens
2. We have built blacklist capabilities to prevent access to our trading platform for regions where it's illegal to trade the tokens listed on Lake Trade
3. We've put terms and conditions in place to reflect these regulatory requirements where applicable
4. We're actively talking to industry experts and legal counsel on best steps forward to be compliant



What's Next? Automatic Investing powered by our A.I.

The often overlooked piece in Finance 2.0 is wealth preservation and growth. We need tools that anyone can take advantage of, at significantly lower costs than traditional investment options today.

With our team's deep expertise in data-science and AI, our next goal is to build an AI-driven investment fund available to anyone, anywhere. We've already made good progress on the AI, and we've begun rigorous back-testing to ensure performance.

We'll be posting more updates on this as we do more comprehensive testing with our AI. If you want to stay connected, please subscribe to our mailing list on our website at [http://lakeproject.co](http://lakeproject.co/)

FAQs About Lake Trade

How do you make money if Lake Trade is feeless?

As traders ourselves, we don't believe in nickle and diming for every trade, all you need is to cover the Ethereum gas fees yourself, and you can trade as much as you want.

We believe that if we can deliver features that have true utility and value to our users, then they'll be willing to pay for those. We have plans to introduce portfolio management tools, and other value-added features down the road.

We also plan to introduce an intelligent AI-driven investment fund that operates on top of Lake Trade you can easily buy into.

How do I know it's secure?

You have full control of your funds, as you're trading directly peer to peer through Lake Trade, by securely connecting your wallet. You never need to hand over your private keys, or entrust any of your money to us.

How do I get started with Lake Trade?

All you need is some ETH in an Ethereum wallet (Metamask), and you're all set. Simply visit http://trade.lakeproject.co to trade.

How come you don't support the US?

With the recent EtherDelta SEC charges, it's clear that the SEC is cracking down and frowning upon decentralized trading platforms who are listing security tokens or operating without proper licenses. Many tokens are deemed securities by the SEC, and under current regulations in the US, it's illegal to grant access to trade securities to US citizens without being a licensed entity with the rights to do so.

We have no intentions to facilitate any illegal activities, and we believe that in order to achieve mass adoption of crypto, it's important to work together with regulators in a collaborative manner, and we understand that it's the role of regulators to step in and protect consumers. Currently, that means we need to comply with existing laws and move forward with registering for the proper licenses.

We look forward to working with regulatory bodies to advance this space forward, and develop new sensible regulations for this disruptive technology and new asset class.

The problem also is that as startups, plans change and it's important to be able to pivot or be agile, so any kind of strict governance on deliverables may not necessarily be a good idea for new companies, as it traps their roadmap and creates this kind of internal incentive structure that may not be aligned with the success of the company long term.

I think things like a reverse dutch auction, where at least the initial buyers and late buyers lock in the same price at the end of the ICO is at least a fair model to mitigate dumping from the earliest investors.

Vitalik proposed a new model called DAICO, which attempts to address some of these issues, have you looked into it?

Here's an explainer: https://cointelegraph.com/explained/what-is-a-daico-explained

Technically speaking, it depends on how the token sale is marketed (wording, promise of returns, etc).

There's a good resource that Coinbase put together here, as a good score rating and test for getting a better idea if a token could be considered a security or not:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QxOV2dgxO3C_TyVE0-41ZwLlzPmB-EE1NNshJGuedCU/edit#gid=0

Here's also their legal framework:
https://www.coinbase.com/legal/securities-law-framework.pdf

This is partly what we use on http://trade.lakeproject.co (our decentralized trading platform) to determine whether a token is likely a security or not.

Hope this helps!
