What Is LIQNET?
LIQNET, found online at LIQNET.com, gathers liquidity from other exchanges and allows traders to access this liquidity through a single dashboard. You can take advantage of arbitrage opportunities between exchanges. Or, you can simply use LIQNET to access more liquidity.
The system revolves around the united limit order book, or LOB. You access this order book through the professional LIQNET interface.
LIQNET was announced on April 24, 2018. The company is expecting to launch a token sale in May or June 2018.
How Does LIQNET Work?
LIQNET revolves around its limit order book, or LOB, and its LEN mechanism. The Liquidity Exchange Network, or LEN, mechanism prevents liquidity fragmentation by pooling bids and orders from different exchanges.
Instead of accessing liquidity from a single cryptocurrency exchange, you can access liquidity from multiple exchanges using the same professional LIQNET dashboard. The main benefit of this higher liquidity is that traders can enjoy a lower bid/ask spread.
LEN collects and pools orders from exchange customers like you. Then, it connects those
orders with orders from other platforms, creating a single depth of market panel. Orders are
collected and then made available for trading to all LIQNET exchange customers.
Using the public APIs of cryptocurrency exchanges, LEN polls them for purchase and sale
bids, forming a single depth of market panel for its customers and allowing traders to find the
best prices at minimal spread.
You can access LIQNET through your desktop browser or a mobile app.
LIQNET Features & Benefits
LIQNET emphasizes all of the following features and benefits:
No Slippage: High liquidity allows users to reduce or fully eliminate the costs of slippage.
Expenses Reduction: The higher the market liquidity is, the smaller the bid/ask spread will
be, which thereby lowers the cost of trading.
Trust: LIQNET’s liquidity “reflects the presence of a mass of people whose actions are
much easier to predict than the actions of a single person,” explains the official website,
which means that a single entity can’t dominate the trading market.
Decentralization: LIQNET claims to be built on a decentralized system because their
physical hardware is located in two different data centers, including centers in France and
Canada. This isn’t what we typically mean by “decentralization”, although we understand
what LIQNET is getting at.
Security: LIQNET holds customers’ funds in multiple locations, including hot wallets, multi-
signature wallets, and cryptocurrency exchanges. This reduces the risk of theft.
Multiple Trading Options: LIQNET supports direct trading from the financial chart and
scalping trades (including post limit and stop orders right from the order book).
Multiple Order Types: LIQNET supports stop order trades, stop limit trades, TP & SL
trades, trailing stop trades, Iceberg, IFD, OCO, IFDOCO, valid till day/time trades, AON,
IOC, and FOK trades.
Financial Charts: LIQNET provides a suite of analysis tools. Users can also customize their
dashboard with 100+ different trading indicators.
Multiple Currency Pairs: Right now, LIQNET lists just four cryptocurrency pairs, including
LTC/BTC, ETH/BTC, BCH/BTC, and PPC/BTC. However, they allow users to deposit
more currencies, including bitcoin, Litecoin, USD, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, DASH, and
Peercoin (PPC).

The LIQNET ICO

consist of a closed pre-sale and an open ICO.
Further details of the token sale have not yet been announced. LIQNET has partnered with
Como Capital to launch their ICO.
It’s unclear how LIQNET tokens will work. However, tokens launched by other
cryptocurrency exchanges typically provide a discount on trading fees. You might only pay
0.1% or 0.5% trading fees when paying with LIQNET’s tokens, for example.
Who’s Behind LIQNET?
LIQNET was created by a team of finance, law, and technology professionals with a proven
