So the white paper literally doesn't saying anything about how it creates value for the tokens. There's a lot of cross over here with Kyber, and I believe Kyber's white paper also references this one. This is a risky one. Obviously decentralized exchanges are coming and will be a big hit, but they can't all be successful. These are going to have be valuable services for AST tokens to be worth much in my opinion. I agree with a previous poster - not sure why they really needed a token.
Trying to stay positive for those invested in this one. I wish you all the best in luck. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for the best decentralized exchange. Bet your butt if it's AirSwap Ill come and congratulate all and trade a few..
