PHOENEX —Exchange. Reborn.

6 min readNov 24, 2018

An ancient mythical creature, the phoenix rises from the ashes of its predecessors. In a similar fashion, PhoenEx will take cryptocurrency to a new height and rise among its competitors with all the best functionalities of established trading platforms and the convenience of a portfolio tracker, combined into one superior platform.

PHOENEX is a semi-decentralized exchange built for real-time, trustless, highspeed trading experience with integrated blockchain settlement features. Users login using their email address or phone number and added layer of security with deposits and withdrawals done through the blockchain without limit, while a centralized layer enables users to trade at high speeds without waiting for transactions to mine, create multiple orders and cancel orders instantly without gas costs.

Challenges Faced by Existing Cryptocurrency Exchanges Today

Suboptimal architecture

Many of the existing cryptocurrency exchanges today are built on the fly without much of careful planning. They often take the simplest approach to get the system up and running, without taking into consideration the compounding load as traffic grows. Furthermore, layers of security that some exchanges integrate in the system add to the complexity resulting to slower trade speeds and delays in relaying information to the user interface. The flaws in the system create a ripple effect which ultimately leads to poor customer experience. For a cryptocurrency exchange to have a long-term success, it must be built with end users in mind, taking into account the right level of security, speed, efficiency, and scalability.

Lacks portfolio tracker

All cryptocurrency exchanges today have one thing in common: they all lack the option where users can see their buy price alongside the current price. Our team believes this is one critical aspect that every exchange must have. This becomes especially handy for long term hodlers. Using this view, they can quickly check how much they gained or lost in just a quick glance without having to move from one tab to another just to compare their buy price and the current price.

Poor customer service quality

A comprehensive understanding of investors and traders’ wants and needs is paramount in running a successful exchange. Their time and money are at stake and slight delays in attending to customer incidents can be very costly for both parties. PHOENEX Exchange is built with end users in mind. In line with this, incidents raised by users will be handled promptly by people who have first-hand knowledge about the system and excellent customer service skills.

Expensive fees

Exchange fees can be very expensive, from trading fees to withdrawal fees, especially to small investors and traders who only wish to get some returns on their investment. Moreover, some established cryptocurrency exchanges can charge ridiculous amount in order for a token to be listed in their system. All of these seems widely accepted in the cryptocurrency space and it seems reasonable too. After all, running an exchange is expensive and ICOs can be immensely profitable. However, we believe that charging high exchange fees and listing fees has the tendency to scare away investors and traders, and high-quality, bootstrapped projects and at the same time arouses temptation to list low-quality projects in the desire for more revenue.

Complex listing process

Listing requirements and process of many well-known exchanges are often tedious and despicably difficult to accomplish. The process can take weeks or months without guarantee of actually getting listed. Unfortunately, project developers and owners have no control over it and they are at the whim of the exchange. PHOENEX transforms this process and only requires vital information from the project team. Service level agreements will be signed off to maintain quality and timely engagement between our exchange and project team.

The PhoenEx Solution

PHOENEX Exchange platform will use a two-pronged approach when it comes to security. The platform does not require KYC and users only need their email address and private key to be able to start trading. The non-critical components of the trading process will be housed centrally while deposits and withdrawals will be broadcasted to the network. Using this approach, PHOENEX has the agility of a centralized exchange, at the same time the transparency of a decentralized exchange.

The exchange platform will incorporate a portfolio tracker where users can see at a quick glance the buy price, current price, volume, equivalent value in ethereum, and dollar, and last but not the least the percentage gain/loss. This way, day traders and hodlers alike will no longer have to navigate from one tab to another just to compare their buy price to the market price, and most importantly to check whether they are gaining or losing money.

PHOENEX is built with the end users in mind. Customer service has a defined service level agreement and standard across time zones.

Our fees are competitive and relatively low compared to other established exchanges. In addition, using PHOENEX Token to pay for fees entails big discount. Lastly, new token listing process is agile and streamlined. Project teams do not have to wait for weeks or months to know the result of their listing application.
