Inspiration
Centralised crypto exchanges are a real vulnerability of the crypto ecosystem and there decentralised exchanges are the answer. However no decentralised exchange offers realtime trading and liquidity for relevant, high marketcap crypto-pairs and this is why we are building dex.blue.
What it does
It's a decentralised exchange that lets you trade in realtime thanks to a hybrid architecture: we use a smart contract to keep your funds secure and an offchain trading engine to keep things blazing fast.
How we built it
Node.js, Go and Solidity are our core technologies. How exchanges are built is usually highly proprietary information so many of our tools and processes are custom built.
Challenges we ran into
Offering realtime trading on top of a blockchain which has no sense of time beyond blocks succession was the core challenge at the heart of dex.blue.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Integrating external liquidity pool from the Decentralised Finance space enable us to hack the chicken and egg problem by offering a function product from day 1.
What we learned
Understanding user needs and pain points is a crucial step before you can really target them with a solution. Marketing in the crypto space is hard and very manual.
What's next for dex.blue
Our goal is to become the safest and most liquid exchange in the Decentralised Exchange space and ultimately challenge Centralised Exchanges
