[AST] 🔥 AIRSWAP: Peer-to-peer Decentralized Marketplace backed by ConsenSys

[Bdstar]

We would like to introduce AirSwap, and its native token AST, launching in a white listed sale on October 10, 2017. If you’d like to participate, please join our Telegram channel for white listing details at https://t.me/airswapofficial

AirSwap Token Launch

What is AirSwap

AirSwap is a decentralized token Marketplace based on the Swap protocol whitepaper. Swap provides a decentralized trading solution based on a peer-to-peer design. The design solves two problems encountered in a peer-to-peer trading environment: counterparty discovery and pricing suggestions.

AirSwap core services include a searchable index of traders with “intent to trade” and a pricing oracle. For those looking to trade ERC20 tokens, the Index will be a destination to advertise that you’d like to trade and to search for others looking to trade. Once matched, traders connect and interact directly. To assist with the pricing process, the Oracle provides pricing suggestions, generated from multiple data sources. Once agreed on price, one trader makes an order and the second takes and submits the order to an Ethereum smart contract for settlement.

AirSwap is also building a web application for traders to interact with the Index, connect to other traders, and make trades on the Ethereum blockchain. We aim to have a closed beta of this running later this quarter.

Why Peer-to-Peer

Fast and Scalable
Because orders are not passed to through a public order book, there is no “state” to update, and therefore no cost. Additionally, since orders are communicated to peers who have already requested orders, cancels will become a much less likely occurrence than on a public order book.  On classic centralized exchanges, order to execution ratios often go above 20 to 1, which is untenable on a blockchain-based order book.

Private
In a peer-to-peer network, orders are passed privately between peers, allowing users to privately negotiate. This is beneficial to market makers, as publishing orders to a public order book leaves them subject to “bad order flow”, a common practice where aggressive participants will pick off market makers that are not able to update their orders quickly enough. Because orders are communicated privately and not through a public order book, market makers are likely to prefer our design over others.

No Front-running
By avoiding the use of order books, and because orders are communicated directly to the peers who requested them, our design is not subject to miner front-running, a limitation present in many decentralized trading designs. In a peer-to-peer design there is nothing to front-run.

Liquidity Profiles
Order books are best suited for highly liquid assets that trade tens of thousands of times per day.  It is our thesis that most ERC20 tokens will not trade with these characteristics, and therefore, will trade in a more similar fashion to other illiquid products, such as corporate bonds, penny stocks, and FX. All three of these asset classes trade on peer-to-peer networks.

 if I understand correctly, it will be convenient for those assets that are not traded on stock exchanges, otherwise the transaction on the stock exchange is much easier and faster.

This is for the exchange of erc20 tokens, stock exchanges are a different asset type. 
If stocks become tokenized, AirSwap promises 0 transaction fees.

No bounty no Airdrop ? just sale?

hard to promote this, ICO then

[cuddlefish]

Agree,  the bounty is very helpful to promote the ICO
Or maybe the dev already make promotion in another way
Which dev think will help airswap ICO success

Another COnsensys face on this project but for me I don't see value in the project, looking at the amount of tokens they are looking to sell to investors now and leaving the remaining to themselves, this type of distribution model seems to be gaining traction and people are buying into this

The Team is working hard and great response from crypto community as well. I think there won't be any fee tokens and you will see why 'Right after the token sale' !

This project looks good, but it's too greedy, and only 30% of the public sales need 150K ETH.

Agree.I don't know why the team dares to leave the remaining 40 of its share.The valuation is too high

this is very good to follow, although there is no bounty or ICO that will really support this, but this project promises there will be no fees in the transaction, this is enough for early promotion, very good, good luck

Hi, I cannot post any comment after joining the telegram group.
My question is that what's the difference from other DEXs.
Is your service more simple?

You should watch this video,

it is an  decentralized exchange that you are building, if it is very user friendly and secure people will use it to exchange coins, there seems no need for a new coin

There are no fees on the platform, we thought introducing a third party fee would be against the ethos of peer-to-peer.  We have designed our own native token to play a fundamental role in our ecosystem and we will use the proceeds to further develop the decentralized trading platform.
