Announcing Ethfinex
Introducing Ethfinex - an information and exchange platform for Ethereum-based trading and discussion.
https://www.bitfinex.com/ethfinex
Ethfinex is a community & information hub for Ethereum-based projects, designed to facilitate learning, discussion and analysis, whilst offering access to the most highly liquid and advanced trading platform for Ethereum ERC20 tokens.
Tokens and tokenised assets on Ethereum are fast proving themselves to represent one of the most exciting innovations of the decade, with the potential to displace traditional business models and revolutionise financial infrastructures. The core value of these tokens is the communities around them, but these communities are often dispersed, with information that is difficult to find, analyse, store, and track.
The long-term vision for Ethfinex will be the creation of a highly liquid, customer-centric digital asset exchange and information platform. Ethfinex will gradually shift towards a completely trustless exchange, steadily decentralising ownership of the platform to its community of users.
Based on Bitfinex’s trading engine experience and customer base, we believe fully decentralised models for exchange are not yet mature or scalable. To accelerate the development of on-blockchain exchange the Ethfinex platform will pioneer a hybrid decentralised architecture, allowing decentralised exchanges to plug into it and trade with Ethfinex customers as well as each other.
Ethfinex will encourage the emergence of scalable and trustless solutions by acting as an experimentation zone for emerging decentralised exchange protocols, providing feedback and allowing them to test and learn.
Ethfinex will reflect the nature of the Ethereum community itself, building strong two-way relationships with other project teams. Smart contracts and decentralisation will increasingly be built into everything Ethfinex does, alongside creating tools and modules necessary to interact with and contribute back to other projects in the ecosystem.
