Singularity Exchange Beta Testing Launches
GLOBAL BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (CSE: BLOC, BLOC.CN, BLOC.CNX) (FSE: BWSP) (OTC: BLKCF) ("BLOC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its exchange project Singularity has entered the beta testing phase. Singularity harnesses the abilities of both the Laser and Stellar blockchain networks, by using a federated sidechain to bridge the two networks. Through the combined functionality Laser and Stellar, Singularity is able to offer decentralized custody, as well as a decentralized order book. Custodianship remains a pressing issue in the trade of crypto assets, with fewer traders trusting their capital to centralized exchanges that provide custody, since they can lose their balance in the event that the exchange is hacked. Making an exchange more decentralized is a testament to the principle of decentralization that is fundamental to blockchain networks, a value that Singularity will exemplify in a way no other crypto asset exchange has before.
At this time, interested users are able to register their interest in the beta testing phase for Singularity at http://www.singularity.exchange. In order to activate their account, users will be required to make a deposit of five Stellar Lumens. Further, users will be required to accept a disclaimer which stipulates that all trades made on the beta testing version of Singularity are at the user’s own risk.
“Crypto has come a long way in 2018”, said Steve Nerayoff, Chairman of the Company. “With Singularity now on the market, it will take the space a significant step forward, providing value to both retail and institutional investors by taking away the problems that are created by centralized custody and centralized order books. Singularity represents what the crypto space was going for from the very beginning, and I am eager to see how it will enrich the space as it gets rolled out.”
BLOC President and CEO Shidan Gouran added, “Developing Singularity in parallel to Laser has been an extremely insightful experience. The concept of decentralization is something that continues to be rapidly explored as the crypto space evolves. By taking decentralization to another level in a way that greatly benefits crypto traders, Singularity will bring a lot of value to the industry. We are excited to be leading the way with it, as one of our many projects that is going according to plan.”
