bZx is the first fully decentralized, peer-to-peer margin funding and trading protocol:
Decentralized exchanges need functionalities like margin lending and clearinghouses. bZx makes these possible through trustless smart contracts. Whether you’re a lender or borrower, you stay in control of your keys. Never worry about exchanges getting hacked or stealing your funds. Make money with the assets you already hold in your wallet without giving up control of them. Interest rates on margin loans are often much higher than traditional loans while being far safer. Traders on centralized exchanges pay higher interest rates to compensate lenders for the risk of the exchange getting hacked. Decentralized margin lending makes trading more affordable.
Decentralized exchanges have two big issues: low liquidity and large spreads. Low liquidity means that there is a low volume of buyers and sellers. This can result in worse prices or difficulties filling large orders. Large spreads are caused by large gaps between bids and asks. This imposes large costs for entering and exiting positions. bZx bridges centralized and decentralized liquidity pools using tokenized margin loans. With bZx’s Universal Liquidity, you get access to the entire margin lending market. This means less slippage and tighter spreads.
bZx pools loans together in a decentralized clearinghouse. Lenders can lend to a whole pool of people, averaging risk across many borrowers, allowing for a more predictable income stream. All bZx loans are insured with the bZx guarantee fund. The BZRX token is used by relays to collect trading fees. Token holders decide how to upgrade the bZx protocol. Taking a long position involves a simple swapping of one asset for another. For example, you could swap DAI for ETH because you think ETH will go up in value faster than DAI.

about blockchain:
The arrival of the blockchain technology introduced many advantages to the world making its potential huge. It allowed many computers to take part in a network, distributing the computing power, which helped reduce the risk in any tampering, fraud or cyber-crime. Furthermore, it allowed different parties to believe that transactions between them are indeed real and valuable. With immutable records of transactions this also ensured a possibility for a massive range of digital transactions to happen without any central authority. With significant reduction of monopolies or middle men, this also removed a lot of costs from the equation. Blockchain also ensured immutability, as any transaction can be confirmed and shared across the distributed network, while almost impossible to undo.
