CATENA EXCHANGE - A Completely Decentralized Trading Platform

Blockchain technology brought about by Bitcoin makes it possible for individuals and organizations to run a currency known as digital currency as an application on a network in a decentralized manner. This technology gives individuals the opportunity to create their own specialized cryptocurrency for laudable projects and also give other individuals the opportunity to key into such projects by purchasing tokens of projects that interest them.
Individuals can mint cryptos and other individuals can own such cryptos by taking part in crowdsales and ICOS. But all these cryptos are useless without an exchange. An exchange is a platform that functions as a market place where cryptos are listed and cryptos users or holders are given the opportunity to exchange one crypto for another or convert their cryptos to fiat currency.
There are many of such exchanges in existence but these exchanges are not devoid of challenges. Some of the challenges faced by some of the popular exchanges in existence are limiting the mass adoption of cryptos by some well established organizations and individuals. Some of such challenges include:

Security challenges
Lack of transparency in exchange operations
Unauthorized freezing of users’ accounts and loss of funds
Centralization
Lack of regulation compliance
Slow transaction speed and high transaction charges. Etc
All these challenges are what CATENA has come to address.
