"First of all, on behalf of the DAEX team we’d like to thank everyone who participated in the token sale on the LBank exchange yesterday! We managed to reach the 3,000 ETH hard cap within 1 minute which is absolutely great news. We’re glad to know there’s a solid fan base of DAEX that believes in our project just as much as we do. A lot of participants are asking about when they will see the DAX tokens available in their LBank wallets and we’ve been informed it should take up to 5 working days to appear, so please be patient. If you didn’t receive your DAX within 5 working days please contact the LBank support and they’ll assist you.
We’d like to share with you some more information regarding our upcoming plans which include another token sale, DAX tokens being publicly listed on exchanges (yes, more than one) and the release of our technical whitepaper.
Another token sale will take place next week! After the success of our sale on LBank yesterday we’re expecting this next token sale to have similar results. For more information and details on how to participate on this next token sale please follow our official Twitter @daexblockchain.
DAX tokens will publicly be available on several exchanges towards the end of the month. LBank will be one of the exchanges that will officially list DAX tokens and we’ll announce the details of the other exchanges in the near future.
At the beginning of May we’re also planning to release our technical whitepaper.
Finally, we’ve had reports regarding fake airdrop announcement threads appearing on the Bitcointalk forums. Please be careful in providing any information to these airdrops who are posing as DAEX as they have no relation to us. Any airdrop campaign we announce will be listed on our official Twitter @daex[Suspicious link removed].
What is DAEX?DAEX is an open and decentralized clearing and settlement ecosystem for
all cryptocurrency exchanges.
The rapid development of cryptocurrency trading calls for a more effective and secure clearing service. After a
series of hacker thefts and security incidents, many exchanges have to come to the consensus that a common
clearing and asset custodian service is required to protect the market and to guarantee the sustained growth
of the market. DAEX is therefore the answer to this market need.
DAEX is an open and decentralized clearing ecosystem for cryptocurrencies and a bridge that connects cryptocurrency
trading exchanges. It also serves as a reliable custodian of multiple crypto assets. Clearing and settlement rules are
preprogrammed into clearing smart contracts on the DAEX clearing chain. The clearing process is automatic without
people’ s interference. The objectivity of clearing is guaranteed by the consensus mechanism on the clearing chain.
Also, customers’ digital assets are registered and stored on the DAEX’ s clearing chain. No other institutions or
individuals can access these assets without the owner’ s permission.
Trading and clearing will be separated. Current centralized exchanges will continue to provide trading services.
The clearing work will be handled by a common clearing service based on the DAEX solution. Different from current
centralized clearing services, the DAEX clearing service is based on distributed ledger technology. The distributed
ledger technology guarantees that trades are correctly and safely cleared and settled. By using distributed ledger
technology, trader’s assets are kept in their own accounts on the blockchain. No one else can access traders’ assets
without their permissions. This effectively removes trader’s asset risks in current centralized exchanges. The DAEX
solution will be an open sourced clearing service based on a public blockchain. Its code is open for public inspection
and supervision.
DAEX ecosystemDAEX ecosystem is composed of a clearing service that is based on distributed ledger technology, centralized
exchanges and user wallets. Traders use their wallets to perform trades on exchanges. After trades are matched
at exchanges, exchanges send matched trades to the clearing service. The clearing service CaaS is performed by
smart contracts on the distributed ledger technology. DAEX will provide clearing service for cryptocurrencies and
cryptocurrency derivatives traded on exchanges.
ParticipantsThe DAEX FoundationThe DAEX Foundation's mission is to develop the DAEX solution and promote its use among cryptocurrency exchanges
in the world. The Foundation also manages the fund contributed by global investors.
Wallet Users Wallet users whose identity have been certified can use various functions such as trading and asset delivery.
ExchangesProvide cryptocurrency and derivatives trading services for wallet users. Counsel member of the clearing union. Provide
a node on the clearing blockchain.
