ProBit, a cryptocurrency exchange, is set to be one of its kind as the platform’s trading services are backed by superior technology and noted for having an exceptional matching engine. The engine has the capacity to manage more than 1.5 million transactions per second, making it one of the fastest engine in the world. Additionally, the processing speed is fast, ensuring that the users have a solid advantage over the rest of the market.
ProBit aims to be one of the key cryptocurrency exchanges in all the major financial markets. They will be launching ProBit.com, a global Coin-to-Coin [C2C] exchange, which is set to be the main part of the upcoming Fiat-to-Coin [F2F] exchange. Notably, the upcoming exchange will be set-up in several countries.
The other important aspects that stand out with ProBit, are the features built into the exchange. This includes customizable dashboard, and multi-lingual customer services. This, in turn, results in the exchange creating a huge user base and also pooling in more liquidity for all the cryptocurrencies into the space. ProBit will also be launching marginal trading and ICO platforms in the future, after building the base of its operations.
Most importantly, the platform aims to provide the key important aspect, which is looked over by majority of digital assets exchanges, security. It will be offering customers a wide range of options for its users to secure their assets, and to ensure that the users feel safe to store and trade cryptocurrencies on the exchange.
Cryptocurrency exchanges are hailed to be the gateway into the cryptocurrency world. Ever since the Bitcoin boom in December 2017, the entire world has kept a tab on the new emerging market backed by technology. As cryptocurrencies became more and more mainstream, the demand for a trustable, secure and reliable cryptocurrency exchange increased in the space.
This is considered as one of the most important aspect in the crypto-community given that the stories of Mt. Gox continue to haunt the entire space. The exchange was once the biggest Bitcoin [BTC] exchange in the world that was the gateway for over 70% of Bitcoin transactions.
However, it soon tumbled to the ground as the exchange was compromised to a hack, resulting in a loss of over 7% of the customers funds. The customers who went through a massive loss are still struggling to get their funds back from the exchange, which has now shut down their services. This has prevented several investors from entering the cryptocurrency space and is also one of the key problems raised by several regulatory bodies.
Hence, choosing the right exchange that prioritizes security and customer support should be given the utmost importance by everybody involved in the cryptocurrency space. ProBit has stepped into the space with its eyes set on providing the security, trust and reliability expected by users.
To ensure this, the platform has three key security features. They are:
Storing at least or more than 95% of cryptocurrencies in cold wallets/ cold storage
This refers to storing cryptocurrencies in an offline wallet. The wallet will not be connected to the internet, which, in turn, would ensure that there is no unauthorized access, hacks or vulnerabilities that are prone to occur when the devices are connected to the internet.
Storage of data with the utilization of the strongest encryption algorithm
Encryption algorithm refers to encrypting data in a mathematical procedure. The data is transformed in to illogical cipher text and the only way it can be transformed back to its original structure is with the help of a key. Additionally, users’ private information and the private key of their wallet is also encrypted multiple times by the platform.
Supports U2F security hardware key and software based two factor security authentication
Universal Second Factor [U2F] security key is a hardware authentication which allows users to access several online services with the use of a single security key. FIDO U2F hardware is one of the latest protocols which is supported by the exchange.
ProBit has also enabled 2FA security keys like Google Authenticator. This is a software authentication which uses one-time based password algorithm that is time constrained. It also used HMAC based one time password algorithm. This allows users to access the exchange platform safely, securely and quickly. Moreover, hackers will not be able to access the your accounts without the key.
Additionally, ProBit will implement extra security protocols for ProBit.com. This will include entire session management like monitoring for inactivity and initiate time-out sessions if required, and website security like using HTTPS [SSL]. They will also be ensure that the exchange is safe from attacks like DDoS, SQL injection and cross site scripting.
Apart from giving the utmost priority to security, ProBit also concentrates on providing one of the best trading experience to the users. The exchange will have a comprehensive interface which can be utilized by both professional traders and beginners. The platform will have a modular dashboard which enables complete customization, empowering the trader to set up their dashboard, based on their preference. The exchange ensures that the trader is provided with all the trading options such as Stop limit trades, Market trades and limit trades.
Unlike most of the centralized cryptocurrency exchanges that have only the USD and BTC as the base currency, ProBit has successfully broken through from the usual tradition. The exchange will support five cryptocurrencies as their base currency, including Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], EOS, Tether [USDT], and ProBit Token [PROB], the platform’s very own token. The platform will also add support for over 150 cryptocurrencies and numerous pairs.
PROB, a ERC20 token and a utility token, will be mainly used to pay trading and listing fees on the exchange platform. ProBit has set a limit of issuing only 200 million PROB. The token can also be utilized for several things such as:
Avail discounts and for trading fees
