We are developing a completely decentralised cryptocurrency exchange that uses a proof of work mechanism at its heart to allow people to exchange cryptocurrencies for other cryptocurrencies and also for fiat.
Just like Bitcoin the output of the research and development has to be open source or it cannot work. And once launched, we will not be in charge of this system, again like Bitcoin it will be its own beast. We hope to remain the canonical developers for this system.
You can read our posts about this to the community here:
