Word of advice.
I'm part of
Kriptomat - a newly launched EU crypto platform.
It took our team of 25+ people more than 5 months of hard work and dedication, to get everything up and running. Even if that's $10/hour per person, you can do the math...
That's including a big group of software developers and so on.
Though, a lot of time and money was spent on ensuring:
- a simple and safe KYC process
- enabling our platform in 22 different languages
- ensuring that we have official EU license for crypto wallets and trading
- ensuring we have state-of-the-art security and cold storage.
Since we will also list tokens for FIAT, we had to go the extra few steps.
In short, when you think about creating your own exchange, think of who and what else would / could use it. How many people would have to work on that and so on...
