The LEV airdrop tokens are now available for redemptionAfter much consideration and communication with members of the community, it has been decided that the airdrop tokens will be made available for redemption sooner than initially expected.
Airdrop participants may visit https://leverj.github.io/air-drop/ to redeem their tokens. Simply enter the ETH address used in your airdrop application in the top box. This will show you how many airdrop tokens have been allocated to your address. These tokens are now available for withdrawal.
How It Will Work
To minimize risk and potential loss of airdrop/bounty tokens, rather than all 4MM LEV being made available at once, only 200K will be sent to the airdrop contract to begin. Each day another 200K tokens will be added to the airdrop contract until all 4MM tokens have been made available for redemption.
Remember that you are setting the amount of ETH to 0 in the transaction. This means you are not sending any Ether. You will only need enough to pay for gas. This transaction uses a gas amount of roughly 51000. To be safe, a gas price of 1 gwei and gas limit of 100000 is recommended.
NOTE: AIRDROP PARTICIPATION IS CLOSED. REDEMPTION IS ONLY OPEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY PARTICIPATED IN THE AIRDROP/BOUNTY PROGRAM.https://blog.leverj.io/airdrop-distribution-contract-how-to-claim-your-tokens-8a27ad5a941a

Importance of Market Makers on ExchangesWith Swapman and Bharath Rao of Leverj |

Announcing Market Making Partnership with Smart Contract Japan
Liquidity is the lifeblood of any exchange. You can have the best technology and design in the game, but without an orderbook with depth that traders can interact with, you will fail.
Leverj has made it a high priority to engage with key players in Ethereum markets ever since working with ConsenSys on the token sale. We especially realise the importance of proactively solving the “chicken and egg” issue in market liquidity. on exchanges
To this end, we are proud to announce a new partnership with Smart Contract Japan, one of the largest Ether traders in the world. Smart Contract has been an early investor in cryptocurrencies, including as a supporter of many token projects built on top of Ethereum. Over the years it has contributed significantly to the development of decentralised technology in the blockchain space.
Leverj has a strong team of quants, computer scientists, and financial engineers who are experts in programmatic trading with various crypto exchanges. This technical expertise, combined with the dominant market position of Smart Contract, will bring liquidity for a variety of products on Leverj’s own platform and Ethereum markets in general. The agreement with Smart Contract covers all financial products that will be launched on Leverj.
One of the struggles of new financial instruments like ETH/USD futures or the burgeoning ERC20 token market is the lack of reliable flow on exchanges. When volume and action on an exchange is low, new entrants are less eager to get involved in our markets.
This partnership will go a long way to adding value in these growing new markets and providing risk management tools to ETH and tokenholders on Leverj.https://blog.leverj.io/announcing-market-making-partnership-with-smart-contract-japan-9b26b21a3866

Cryptocurrency Trading Platform Leverj Announces Highly-Anticipated Token Generation Event
NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leverj, the decentralized platform for cryptocurrency derivatives trading, has today announced its highly-anticipated Token Generation Event (TGE) for its ERC-20 token. This token, LEV, is intended to serve as a license to conduct transactions on the Leverj platform, in proportion to the percentage of tokens staked. The TGE will commence on November 7, 2017 and conclude on December 7, 2017. The token crowdsale will have a hard cap of 115,833 ETH.Leverj CEO Bharath Rao said: "Leverj aims to render both traditional financial processes and cryptocurrency trading more efficient by eliminating the frictions typically associated with them. By eliminating custodial risk, the platform will offer cryptocurrency derivatives traders enhanced confidence in the stability of their investments. With the support of our community, we plan to implement a seamless non-custodial model of cryptocurrency trading that will offer heightened levels of security and usability." Leverj aims to use blockchain technology to create a decentralized trading platform in order to improve custodial and counterparty risk, as well as to avoid identity leaks. In an environment in which even the largest and most security-focused exchanges have experienced a loss of funds due to hacking, there is a significant market need for an exchange in which users are given complete control of their assets. Leverj will adapt the most desirable features of derivatives trading to cryptocurrencies, and its revolutionary trading platform will feature advanced tools such as atomic stops and enhanced reporting, including historical trading information about cryptocurrencies. The platform will also include simulated trades, trade replays, and peer subscriptions to gain insight from highly-skilled traders. Leverj will feature a dual-token system that integrates with the trading platform. The primary token, LEV has a fixed supply and represents the license to make transactions on the platform. The secondary token, FEE, will be used as an accounting mechanism, where Leverj trading fees, denominated in Ether, will be payable in FEE at a fixed ETH price to provide market demand and value. The FEE will be created in proportion to platform trading volume and be distributed to LEV holder who stake their tokens to activate their license. The primary goal of the dual-token system is to ensure that users have access to a liquid market and can receive a discount on the fees they would otherwise pay for in Ethereum.
400 million LEV tokens of the one billion total created will be available for purchase. The TGE is limited to non-residents of the United States and China. The Leverj crowdsale whitelist is available at https://register.leverj.io/. It will open on October 10, 2017* and close on November 1, 2017.*Rao said: "We are excited to commence our TGE and finally bring the much-needed upgrade of a decentralized trading platform to the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum's advanced capabilities, such as smart contract decentralized apps, make it feasible to decentralize custody of funds, in comparison with alternative protocols like Bitcoin. In addition, Ethereum is a vibrant, focused, and highly-organized community that we are confident will support Leverj as a high-performance, low-latency derivatives platform." In addition, Leverj is backed by ConsenSys, a leader in blockchain technology, who will serve as a technical advisor to the project. Through extensive experience building software on the Ethereum platform, ConsenSys will provide unparalleled expertise on smart contracts, token design, and cryptographic security. LEV tokens will be available for purchase using Ethereum. For more information, the Leverj whitepaper is available at: https://www.leverj.io/whitepaper.pdf. Leverj CEO Bharath Rao is available for interview. About Leverj Leverj is a decentralized cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform. Using the Ethereum blockchain, Leverj will provide novice and experienced traders with a more secure and seamless platform for digital currency exchange. The platform will also offer services such as managed and simulated trading, historical data replay, mentorship by experienced traders, and a marketplace for trading indicators and strategies.

Leverj’s decentralized-custody exchange model prioritizes user experience and gives traders power over the the most important functions.
There are a number of decentralized exchanges on Ethereum that have come on the scene in 2017. With a variety of different models, they span the spectrum of on-chain matching, orders, and settlement versus off-chain matching and order management. In the Leverj vision, we believe in decentralizing the most important parts of the system while preserving a great UX for traders. That’s why we decentralize custody of funds and allow for smooth order processing and matching so that the feel of the platform is centralized-speed.
Below is a table that compares the Leverj model with competing models. We have avoided naming specific projects because their models are ever-evolving and some claim to have solutions in the works that are not addressed in their own whitepapers. You can see how other DEX projects are designed and see how their model compares in the table below:

Cryptocurrency experts discuss India's 'downward spiral'By Ian Allison India, once touted by experts as the world's next economic superpower spot, is facing decline and high unemployment. CNN just reported India's economic growth fell from 7% to 5.6% in the last six months and, alarmingly, Head of the Center for Policy Alternatives in Delhi and former official at India's finance ministry Mohan Guruswamy was quoted as saying: "We're on a downward spiral." Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dash, already a preferred form of payment in many countries facing hyperinflation and political turmoil, have emerged as a viable alternative for everyday Indians. Cryptocurrencies resist the fluctuations of mainstream currencies like the Indian rupee because they are not controlled by a central bank or government. Commenting on the situation in India, CoinDesk Director of Research Nolan Bauerle said: "When India demonetised 86% of their currency, the government effectively said they had faith in only 14% of the supply of Rupees. Immediately, bitcoin traded at a 22% premium against the Rupee over any other currency. To be clear, the USD price for bitcoin and the USD price for the Rupee in India was relatively the same, but the Rupee's value against bitcoin plunged. The digital currency markets were quick to signal that the Rupees' loss of portability and liquidity as a result of actions by institutional authorities brought the core of its value into question. Money functions in markets and markets work to achieve price discovery, noted Bauerle. "When national currencies sag in foreign exchange markets as a result of monetary policy or political uncertainty, bitcoin often behaves as a safe haven because the price is totally based on market discovery. "Unlike a replacement for fiat currency, bitcoin represents something different. It lies outside a system where policies from central authorities affect market prices. Some people find bitcoin useful because of this. Its popularity may continue to grow because the price comes from market discovery and is immune from unintended consequences of authorities and their bright ideas," he said. Dash Core CEO Ryan Taylor added: "Measures of economic freedom are strongly correlated with economic success throughout the world. In India, a great deal of friction was introduced with the immediate banning of the vast majority of the country's circulating currency. In contrast, digital currencies are freely transferred person-to-person anywhere in the world instantly. "This can have a dramatic positive impact on an economy suffering from onerous financial restrictions like India. I doubt digital currency will overtake the rupee anytime soon, but the dysfunction certainly creates the right environment to motivate consumers and businesses to seek an alternative like digital currency to address their needs. Bharath Rao, CEO of decentralised exchange for cryptocurrency derivatives Leverj, said India faces unique challenges with respect to its monetary system. Counterfeiting, tax evasion, and corruption are rampant, and inflation threatens the affordability of food products and gasoline. "The constant and careful intervention needed to balance these forces puts the economy in a precarious position causing undue stress on the people. The cash ban has had disappointing results and unintended consequences. The adoption of cryptocurrency is a potential solution to many of these problems. "A nation such as India can either adopt a leading cryptocurrency or simply make its own. This would automatically eliminate counterfeiting. A steady inflation schedule will eliminate severe and unpredictable inflationary pressures. Tax can simply be automated on the blockchain or at the expense of higher inflation, simply be eliminated in favor of block rewards to the government. "The blockchain can replace extensive paper pushing, and this alone should reduce the impact of corruption and may even uproot it entirely. Although cryptocurrency started as a way to limit government power, its embrace may ultimately limit government inefficiency."
