Both EtherDelta and ForkDelta also lack some basic features: 1) View all your balances on one page, 2) View and download your entire trade, deposit and withdrawal history (currently you just see the last few days).
That said, the EtherDelta smart contract has proven itself rock solid and secure over the past 1.5 years. Only the private key owner has access to their funds in the smart contract. Cases of stolen or hacked funds have usually been the result of phishing attacks where the private key has been compromised, e.g. the user visits a fake website.
Security of your wallet is essential, always use MetaMask to authorize your transactions when trading.
Our team have built GammaDEX on top of the EtherDelta smart contract. You can use the same wallet for trading and freely move between GammaDEX, ForkDelta and EtherDelta. GammaDEX combines orders from all three sources and relays new orders back to FD and ED automatically. This increases the liquidity pool and improves the chances of your order being filled.
Some features GammaDEX adds to EtherDelta:
- My Balances - View all your wallet and exchange balances (tokens and ETH) on one page. This is a great way to see tokens you didn't know you had, e.g. airdrops.
- My History - You can view and export your entire trade and funding history from the very first deposit made to the ED smart contract, through to the most recent trade.
- Up-to-date Order Books - We constantly refresh our order books from the blockchain, reducing the possibility of seeing stale orders. If you see an order in GammaDEX it's tradable.
- View only mode - You can use the above features and try out the interface without unlocking a wallet using view-only. Visit: https://gammadex.com/#!/view/[insert your public wallet address starting 0x here]
