And when will be the launch of the platform allowing to trade third party tokens?
I have heard that is will start in the end of 2018 or at the beginning of 2019.What are the main economical advantages of the project? It is very interesting for me.
The main economical advantages of liqnet exchange:- Ability to execute a big order at the best price (large market depth)
- Minimal spreads
- Ability to trade large volumes without the risk of shifting the market
- Best prices, minimal spreads, and the biggest volumes all in one place
There are also limits to the advantages you mentioned right? Imagine there comes a huge whale to your exchange and buys a billion dollars worth of Bitcoin, that's going to affect the market I'd expect?
I have heard nothing about it but I want to know more. I want to know more about all the important parts of this project because I am very interested in it.
Good question!Of course, this will affect the market. But if the rest of the stock exchange this action could collapse, then liqunet will purchase the necessary volume on several exchanges, which does not warp the skewed one big deal.
That requires a very fast trading engine for your setup to make that all work in real time if huge trades need to be executed!
At the moment, at the most simple equipment we have 18000-20000 transactions per second, if necessary, the core easily scales into several servers and the productivity can be increased by an order of magnitude.
I have no clue how many transactions these large exchanges right now process per second, but 18000-20000 sounds about ok I guess.
