Topic: [KNC] Kyber NetWork Price Speculation (Read 2036 times)

Tech Update (Dec 2018)

Hey everyone! The past few months have been extremely busy for us, from the numerous community events and meetups to collaborations and integration with a very diverse group of projects. On top of the community and ecosystem expansions, a lot of work was also done on the technical side to improve Kyber’s reserve system, which we will cover in this technical update.

We will also share about developments made on the WBTC initiative, trading enhancements, and on other ecosystem efforts. Lastly, we’ve developed a number of tools to provide stronger support for both developers and end users.

https://blog.kyber.network/decentraland-integrates-kyber-to-accept-erc20-tokens-for-land-auction-5d28d8944c86

We are happy to announce that Decentraland, the decentralized virtual reality platform built on Ethereum, has integrated with Kyber, giving LAND purchasers the option to pay in eight different ERC20 tokens during the upcoming LAND auction. This is a good demonstration of how DApps within the Ethereum ecosystem can make use of Kyber’s liquidity protocol to improve the user experience, by allowing multiple tokens to be used in a wide variety of use cases.

Trade KNC/BTC and KNC/ETH pairs on BITBOX at 50% off fees these next 4 days.

The price quickly returned to near the pre-pump value as suspected. KNC won't really make any significant price movements for a while, they first need more and more people to actually utilize it and then there will be a higher token burn, at the moment the token burn is so insignificant. The recent announcement about the ERC20 coin linked to bitcoin isn't really special either, I saw many other exchanges saying they had a similar deal.

Crazy news, Upbit has added KNC to its stock exchange and the price of the token has risen 37 percent. I think it's amazing.

I am a fan of the Kyber Network. Because the founder of this altcoin is the man of my country. He really made me proud to be the first to set up a successful altcoin. I think we should support the altcoins that are always working hard and bringing good results to the market. At present, Kyber is not a strong competitor but it needs capital from investors to develop better technology.

Finally some reaction in prices. KNC was one of the most lost market value in recent months. The best projects that use ETH have suffered greatly in recent months. I believe that with unique project advancements, even with ETH stability at $ 200 they can go up quite a bit. 0x went up a lot, now KNC and probably the next project to have a high will be the OMG.

The upbit effect, like it or not

I completely agree with you that ideally Bitcoin should ideally have a decentralized system. But what can you say about the fact that the Chinese miners control almost 70% of the Bitcoin hash rate?

Every coin that lists on upbit seems to get a huge pump but it seems to be very shortlived, I think we'll see Kyber back around 0.00006 satoshi before too long, it's promising that the price has been climbing steadily before this news but do you think that could potentially be because of people who were privy to the information that it was going to be listed on upbit?

Kyber Network Crystal ( $KNC ) has been listed on Upbit, a Korean exchange launched by Kakao, the largest messaging platform in Korea.

KNC is an integral part of Kyber and necessary for the operation of our liquidity protocol.

The project has been showing impressive progress, including the launch of KyberSwap on the Ethereum mainnet back in February 2018. I tried the platform and it was a very smooth experience with nice and simple UI. The team has been making improvements on the product since then, as well as announcing multiple new products, including a layer 2 scaling solution. I believe it is a great team with a focus on the technology.

Knc fees are paid by market makers and not customers, so holding knc is no benefit to someone trading on Kyber Network. The benefit of holding is that once the trade volume increases the token burn will accelerate and rapidly become scarce in the market. The price will increase in proportion to the trade volume

From the demand side stakeholder perspective:

I would argue that one of the most fundamental mechanisms that I would hope/have hoped to be added to KNC is ability to "stake" tokens away in a contract to be payed rewards after the staking period is over. (similar to OmiseGO's model)

Kyber on its roadmap has stated it will implement support for trading advanced financial instruments, so an example would be to have users stake their tokens to aid in these mechanisms if possible, like derivatives, hedging, etc.

Possibly a similar mechanism to MKR and DAI's use of CDP that peg the value of the DAI to USD but used instead toward financial instruments.

Thanks let me know what you think of the suggestion!

Kyber Network Progress Update (May 28, 2018)

The Kyber Network 2.0 event is rapidly approaching!

As we get closer to June 8th, the date of the Kyber Network 2.0 Event, we are rapidly finalizing the preparations for our branding event and IEO launch.

Our team members have been busy at work preparing the different elements of Kyber Network for the big events. This includes: restructuring the exchange UI, implementing new IEO systems, developing new smart contracts, and so much more. See the Technical Development section below for details.

In honor of the Kyber Network 2.0 Event, we have launched a retweet campaign where participants can win a trip to Singapore to come celebrate our rebranding with us. We look forward to meeting the winner! This last week we also expanded our Vietnamese Kyber community! A huge thanks to everyone who attended the Vietnamese Blockchain Festival this year, co-hosted by Kyber Network.

We look forward to seeing many of you at our rebranding event on June 8th!

Big drop in price for KNC in those last days/weeks, what could explain it in your view?
To me the project looks more and more promising, with the biggest (only?) competitor being Idex.

good cross-promo. What do you think?

Nice to see more and more tokens listed on Kyber Network exchange. There are already 22 tokens to trade and from tomorrow ArcBlock will become the 23th: https://blog.kyber.network/arcblock-abt-to-be-listed-on-kyber-network-75ba90486cd0

Listing on Coinbit (May 11)
https://coindar.org/en/event/kyber-network-knc-listing-on-coinbit-8817

It's doing great recently,  I'm expecting it to go about  $30 per coin by this time next year, I'm pretty sure a coin to hodl,  just watch out for it as time goes on

Both the announced partnership with MEW and the listing on BitHumb pumped KNC price a lot this week. I guess we can expect even bigger prices on the release of integrated Kyber Network’s protocol into MEW's interface, as well as one more price grow due to official opening of the exchange on April 30.

Kyber Network Lists Its First Stablecoin https://blog.kyber.network/kyber-network-lists-its-first-stablecoin-20fb6ba35d6



Those of us who have been trading cryptocurrencies for a while have grown used to the daily price fluctuations that make this market so unique. In fact, many of us trade cryptocurrencies precisely because of these fluctuations and the opportunities for profit that come along with such volatility.

To the layperson, however, this instability is frankly terrifying, and is oftentimes the reason they shy away from venturing into the crypto-space. If we ever hope to bring the crypto-economy to the masses, we need to provide stability within this volatile market.

This is where stablecoins come in. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that are pegged to stable fiat assets, such as the U.S. Dollar or gold. However, unlike the U.S. Dollar or gold, stablecoins are not controlled by centralized banks or governments. Instead, stablecoins provide the stability that comes with established fiat currencies, while also providing the transparency and decentralization that comes with blockchain technology.

Stablecoins are the key to blockchain mainstream adoption for numerous reason. They provide the long-term stability that allows new traders to achieve peace of mind, which naturally makes the crypto-space much more accessible and appealing for the layperson. Furthermore, unlike other cryptocurrencies that experience frequent price fluctuations, stablecoins provide the short-term stability that makes them perfect for daily transactions. The use of stablecoins in everyday transactions will be an essential step that helps businesses and people transition towards the crypto-economy and away from the fiat.

Kyber Network is well aware of the importance of these coins within the crypto-market, and so we have decided to list a DAI on our exchange starting on Monday April 16th.

DAI is a trustless, transparent, and decentralized stablecoin that is collateral-backed and soft-pegged to the price of one U.S. dollar. It is sold and controlled by Maker, whose smart contract is fully inspectable on the Ethereum blockchain. Maker created DAI with the express purpose of promoting blockchain mainstream adoption. They believe that stablecoins are the best currencies for direct payments and collateral provision, and so they created a coin that is perfect for both.

Kyber Network will be listing DAI on the exchange on April 16! We expect this will be a significant step towards making the crypto-space more reliable, more widely used, and more accessible.

Recently Coinbase announced they will list ERC20 tokens on their platform this year, I think Kyber and BAT will be their pick, because these two are probably the most legit project in the ethereum blockchain right now.

I've used Kyber Network to buy some EOS and ZIL recently. I must say it was great experience, imho Kyber can become the best exchange if you need the fastest two-click way to buy or sell some currencies on the average price with all other DEX advantages like security of the funds, anonymity etc

Public Beta Announcement
https://blog.kyber.network/public-beta-announcement-870b21377136



The Kyber Network decentralized exchange public beta will soon be available to the public.

Since launching our platform on the Ethereum mainnet, the exchange was made available to whitelisted addresses only. By limiting the number of users that access the exchange we have improved the platform in a controlled environment. This testing period has unfolded with great success, and after slightly more than a month of constant feedback and improvement we are ready to release our platform to the public.

On Monday the 19th at 3pm (GMT+8) the public mainnet beta stage will begin. We ask that all users keep in mind that our platform is still in beta testing and there are areas in need of improvement. If you encounter any issues please report them at here. Your feedback during this process is invaluable.

That being said we encourage all members of the Kyber Network community to activate their accounts and start trading. We are proud to say that this marks another significant milestone in Kyber Network history.

Kyber Network is a very promising coin, I invest in it and advise everyone! KNC announced a partnership with Wanchain to create the next DEX, and also KNC integrates with one decentralized service for KYC. They have a great future!
I advise everyone to study this project in more detail.

Kyber Network Progress Update (March 18, 2018)
https://blog.kyber.network/kyber-network-progress-update-march-18-2017-aa42364a68e3

We are proud to report another successful two weeks for Kyber Network.

We have made significant improvements with regards to our technical development. We have been improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our reserve and smart contracts. Additionally, we have fine tuned wallet our user interface.

In terms of our partnerships and community development, we presented at successful meetup in Japan and have plans to present at multiple events in China in the coming week. We are proud to announce our most recent integration partnership with traceto.io, the decentralized Know Your Customer (KYC) network. Finally, we are looking to hire a Content Strategist and Product Manager, please see the job descriptions below.

Unfortunately, the development of the project is very slow and cross-platform trading is scheduled for early 2019, in principle, like all similar projects, it is better to grow slowly, but with a great prospect in the future.

yes, i think the price will begin to explode since Q1 2018 when the exchange launched, it already stay in line for a long time and many people have lost their coins, so coins are controlled by some big holders, which means its easy to rise

the idea is awesome, but people forget that there are many other projects working on exchanging coins, which in my opinion are better suited than Kyber. Yes Kyber has the highest market cap when compared to them (0x, Bancor etc.) but their idea is nothing "new" that can revolutionize the exchange of coins. They took the basic concept from Bancor which already has a working prototype and works in a much more automated way than Kyber (you don't even have to match buyers and sellers). Personally I think the coin will lose value due to the high competition in the sector but they might integrate their technology with more projects (unlikely) and survive in the long term, but that's just me

Finally Kyber price started to move up!

thats not gonna happen at least in the short term.. but sure on 1Q 2018... take a look at KNC's roadmap

We saw the price of kyber started to increase after falling down $2.44 to $.9.

will we see $2 before December?

It's certainly not below the ICO price, which was between $0.3-0.4 depending on ETH price during the day.

I think we see the ICO craze fizzle out after the insane August and September months. If a project has solid fundamentals, this is not necessarily a bad thing. As for Kyber, if they can deliver on their roadmap I see a bright future and anything below or around $1 prices are a buy recommendation in my view.

It's not below the ico price.  It's 2.5x the ico price still.

Itis below the ico price, but i think the future of the kyber just like omisego. Very good team and the developers but remember kyber has a lot of the competitor and that can be considered as another stone for kyber project.

It is going fown but next year it will bee 10 times big!

I thought this is more like Ox project but from what I have read it is more of Bancor like project, I think competition is good for the space and will be interesting how things pan out between the two well funded project

it can reach to top 20 coins if the road map kyber describe has been executed as plan. but it will not happen in this year, so this is a long term coin for sure.

Kyber is a very good project.
It is loved by everyone.
Investing in Kyber for long term will be great.
But investing before bitcoin fork won't be good decision in my opinion.
It is not a quick flip coin it has great future as well.

KNC will go back to 0.0020 ETH then good buy

The current price is really bad, the Kyber network seems to have lost value at an extreme. These prices can be purchased and invested.

It depends on are you looking for short term or long term gain

If we take a look at short term, it definitely would not have much price change

But taking a long term perspective, with the main net launch, enhancement, Kyber would be really something big

Remember, Vitalik is their Advisor, project wouldn't go bad IMO

I think it will drop further since there is a long way for kyber to go with no product or news, it was heavily overhyped, Vitalik wearing a t shirt doubled its price in minutes...

Kyber is too hype..many people using the token for only pump and dump token. Be carefull. The product also did not launch yet. I prefer auctus in november. They did not give too much bonus for presale and collected 1000 eth for their presale.

Kyber will goes to 2x ico price before the product launch.

ICO price was $.4

Does anyone know what the ICO price was in fiat?

KNC is an absolute ripoff of Bancor. Yes they might not work the exact same way (it would be insane if they would) but the concept is very similar. Bancor is about to release the token relay in a couple of weeks, which will get KYC in a very difficult situation. My forecast is the price will drop due to that.

I heard Kyber released a wallet and made some other developments but the price keeps going down because of the BTC hard fork. Looks like every altcoin is taking huge hits; definitely not a good time to release developments for altcoin projects

Here is an article about Kyber network which explains in detail about the in and out of the network
https://medium.com/cryptobro/so-how-much-is-kyber-really-worth-should-you-buy-knc-now-953dd5b49e97

Other than that, I can see Kyber easily at a marketcap of around a billion dollar. But I think it's not going to happen right now we need some time. The exchange listing hype is just a pump and it is not any kind of growth.

KNC will definitely go to the moon, if this market is listed on Bittrex. I think many people will buy right away because they have a stable community and lots of whales and investors are standing behind

Kyber listed on one of the  Korean exchange ''Coinnest''

https://www.coinnest.co.kr/market-knc

Will we see a pump?

It will go down in the short then up later. That's my prediction.

Kyber is 4x from ico price at the current price. It will goes up if the token listed on big exchange like bittrex. Maybe can go to 10x from ico which mean 2x from current price. The down side still goes because some early investor want to cash out fast.
