Business Idea

Neon Exchange was made with the goal of solving the issues that are made by regular decentralized networks. It’s used to combine security and trust properties from decentralized exchanges while also offering the same level of intense security as centralized exchanges.

 

Neon Exchange has three main components:

 

  • Smart contract where the trades take place
  • Payment service where NEO and GAS can be turned into tokens and traded into smart contracts.
  • Off-chain trading machine engine

 

It works by allowing its users create their own type of taker/maker fee structure. This means that market makers who want to create new limit orders don’t have to pay a fee. Takers who want to create a limit order or an order that’s below the market price will have to pay a fee.

 

This gives it the ability to make it faster than other decentralized exchanges. Having the ability to create these orders help the network run without having to wait for long transaction times. Neon Exchange is ran by NEO’s blockchain network and can help you receive your cryptocurrencies while having a strong platform behind it.

 

ICO release of  50 million tokens   (1 NEX = 1.00 USD)

 

The final allocation:

 

  • 1% ESOP
  • 50% Public ICO
  • 20% Founding Partners
  • 15% Neo Council
  • 10% Partnerships
  • 4% Company Fund

 

Pros

 

  • Good business idea.
  • Strong team based on information provided on website.

 

The NEX proposal appears to be a good solution to common problems. The fact that the tokens can be staked to produce a regular income means that it is the type of opportunity that many people are looking to put their money into.

 

In addition, in the white paper, it is stated that this could eventually provide a long-term solution for global decentralized banking.

 

Cons

 

On the side of the risks, this is an ICO that could run into regulatory problems, just like most ICOs. There is also the common risk that new technology makes this proposal obsolete before it can get the support it needs.

review conclusion

The idea behind the NEX proposal makes sense and it appears that it will address some common concerns about using cryptocurrencies. This alone doesn’t mean that it will be a success, but there is certainly a buzz building about this ICO. The team working on it is strong and the proposal seems to have been well thought . Among the key issues, the fact that it gives investors the possibility of a regular income is generating some of the excitement around now.

This is definitely one of the upcoming ICOs that it is well worth keeping an eye on.
