We are working on launching a wallet and exchange based out of Vancouver, Canada. We are calling it Symetria.
This wallet and exchange incorporates Personal Blockchains. These are a published consensus of rules governing interactions between a centralized system and each of its users, to allow for proof-of-integrity between the two parties and to any concerned observer.
This allows for increased transparency during the transaction process. Basically, we provide immutable cryptographic receipts that can be published to prove everything Symetria does during a transaction. Similarly, as an exchange, we can prove the facts in the event of any false allegations or erroneous claims. We want to make the transaction process honest again, by making ourselves, as a service provider, accountable.
If we do something wrong, you, the user, can prove it. We care about our reputation, so it is up to us to make it right every single time.
Add to this an intuitive, easy to use platform that will include a several features (e.g. account-optional trading, dust collection, ability to invest in ICOs directly, and more) and you have an exchange that is better than anything else out there right now. We'll give you the speed and privacy of centralized systems and the fairness of decentralized processes.
We're in user registration mode for a planned ERC-20 token that is redeemable in return for a waive on exchange fees using our platform.
A few things to note: 1. we are fully funded. 2. these utility tokens are only usable on our exchange, but aren't "access tokens" - the exchange is available to everyone. 3. We won't launch the token until we have the wallet ready. 4. The exchange goes live the moment the token generation event ends.
