That is how we do the commission-free side, because now we ascendancy the abject bill of the futures exchange. Every year, we can excellent a baby cardinal of new tokens to awning the amount of active the exchange. Creating a cardinal of tokens acutely creates an aggrandizement rate. So the badge arising arrangement is absolute by all of the accepted digitex badge owners through voting, so alone the ones who will be afflicted by this can accept an aggrandizement rate.

A: I anticipate it will actualize actual aqueous futures markets. There are futures markets out there that are fee charging, we are activity to agitate that up. Also, the decentralized annual antithesis is actual absorbing as it is decentralized. So you can use our barter after dupe the barter or me. That is massive, as so abounding exchanges get afraid or run off with your money. By application Plasma, the latest technology on the Ethereum platform, which is basically Ethereum’s adaptation of Bitcoin’s Lightning network, we can actualize this arrangement of accompaniment channels, which is lightning fast, but it is a amalgam of a centralized adjustment analogous engine, but decentralized annual balance.
