Wow there is so many initiatives out there that is trying to decentralize exchanges and this is the first time that I have heard of an exchange that is trying to fuse the best practices of both centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges. What I can see here is a new generation of exchange platform that combines the technology of centralized custodial exchange with a decentralized trustless cross-chain fair-exchange which might be the best solution. The centralized component of the blockchain.io platform will allow low-latency and full-featured with custody services, centralized order booking and efficient order matching. The decentralized component is a cross-chain settlement will be based on cross-chain atomic swaps that enable users to settle transactions across different blockchain networks without the risk from a counterparty or third-party. With this solution blockchain.io exchange platform will become a new kind of exchange that offers the advantages of centralized exchanges with decentralized settlement offer thus giving more liquidity and stronger security to its users. Aside from the unique proposition I am also impress by the people behind the project. It seems that they are all professionals who are experts in their own fields. This is truly an ICO worth keeping an eye on. Cant wait to see how this project develops.
