University Research Proposal: Creating another cryptocurrency platform

[Insanerman]

Greetings Everyone,

I can't think of another section where I can post this query so I decided to post it in here.

I am a 1st Year Computer Engineering Student in the University located in the Philippines and I am thinking of a research or a thesis project that is related to cryptocurrency since I am a into crypto and has an interest in finance as well. Someone told me that a research or a thesis project that relates to crypto is a unique and a good idea. As a student with a love for crypto and blockchain, I am aware that there are trading platforms out there that is big and has been known in the crypto industry for a long period of time, they became well known because they are offering services that gives their users an outstanding trading experiences. But can I ask if are there any other opportunities or improvements that needs to be implemented and designed on a trading platform? or are there any crypto research project that can help crypto enthusiast to better their crypto journey? Is this a good idea? If not, do you have any other opinions or recomendations?

I am pointing to exchanges like Binance, IQ Options, eToro, Coinspro (PH Based crypto trading platform), Coinbase etc.


I have read an article that creating a trading bot / computerized trading will be a good idea for aspiring Computer Engineers.

I don't know if it's bad or good idea, but it's certainly interesting idea even though IMO it's not strongly related with Computer Engineering.

If i were to give recommendation, how about focusing security aspect of exchange or using trading bot?

IMO it's not strongly related with Computer Engineering.

Yes, that's if the research or thesis project is about your course of study in the university(computer engineering), if it is you'll need to investigate into areas of cryptocurrency that relates to it, mining comes to mind on that basis.

But just like what is required before carrying out any research, you must make sure you have enough materials that will satisfy you from start to finish, cryptocurrency platforms and online facilities would help you go a long way.

Well I think it is related in Computer Engineering since aside from computer hardware skills we are also able to program a certain function that is working on the backend of hardware.
As of now, I really don't have any idea regarding to the security aspect of the internet and how trading bot works. But anyways, thank you for the recommendation.

We have a lot of good Computer Engineer in our University and most of them achieve a Doctorate Degree so I think at least they can help us on our future plan.

in one word: decentralization
specifically when it comes to altcoin trading platforms. for years we have seen exchanges either scam their users or get hacked and it is the users who are always the losers. having decentralized exchanges where the user remains in full control of his keys solves a lot of those issues but so far we don't have any as popular decentralized exchanges.
additionally DEX solves the censorship that comes with CEX as there is no way of forcing a decentralized exchange to block users from certain countries, force taxes on them,....
so in a decentralized world of cryptocurrencies a decentralized exchange is very needed.

Hi friend. You should check out the crew of people that lurk in the Project Development Board. There are tons of people over there looking for, commenting on, helping out with new projects. You don't have to offer anything...just pose your questions and see what you get back.

You could also see what the people in the Development & Technical Discussion Board, but those folks are super technical and may not as responsive. That said, i'm sure someone on their will respond to you.

When you're done, we'd love to benefit from your great work, your research. Share it with us!

Trading bot logic is easy to understand. I'm pretty sure you can get the gist of it from reading one or two articles from the internet. Another topic that might be interesting is to know how 'good' or useful a trading bot is. It is discussed here and there but afaik there's no quantitative figure with lots of data about it.
