In the coming Internet of value, decentralized blockchain-operated value networks will
become mainstream and compliant, enabling billions of Internet users to exchange value
as quickly and as easily as they exchange information today.
Multiple cryptocurrencies will co-exist. Each cryptocurrency will serve the needs of a
community of users to securely trade any type of assets, rights, goods, or services that
is of value to them in a decentralized value network, i.e. without supervision by a central
authority.
As a cryptocurrency exchange, Blockchain.io will play a major role in the Internet of Value’s
ecosystem. It will be the marketplace where cryptocurrencies will be traded against each
other, a gateway to and a bridge across the multiple value networks powered by different
blockchains/cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).
Blockchain.io will combine the efficiency of a low-latency full-featured centralized
exchange with decentralized “trustless” cross-chain settlement. The project leverages the
latest developments in cross-chain atomic swaps, cryptographic protocols, and payment
networks such as Lightning and Raiden. These developments will overcome the scalability
issues of decentralized blockchains, allow transactions across heterogenous blockchains,
increase the speed and lower the cost of these transactions, making them ready for mass
adoption.
Blockchain.io is driven by the highly experienced team of cryptocurrency experts who,
seven years ago, founded Paymium, a fiat/bitcoin exchange catering to the underserved
Euro market. Blockchain.io shares Paymium’s highest security, reliability, and accountability
standards. It strives to overcome the shortcomings of rival crypto exchanges that have
repeatedly caused severe losses for issuers and token holders. To achieve this, the team
relies on its advanced knowledge of cryptographic technology, its operational in-depth
understanding of the crypto world, and a strong company culture committed to security
and compliance.
