Q1. Could you describe Arthur-EX and give us an introduction to the project?
ARTHUR-EX is a high-speed, safe, and credible decentralized cross-chain digital asset trading platform underlying system. It is a decentralized exchange built by a one-stop solution provider for digital asset exchanges using the independently developed Arthur API open framework. It can share liquidity and adopts the high-performance cross-chain transaction protocol Arthur-Swap. The trading platform using the Arthur-EX ecosystem supports rapid transactions on multiple public chains including BTC, TAF, ETH, and tokens on the chain. As a new generation trading platform implemented using Peer-to-Peer technology, its operation, security, settlement, and fees are more transparent than the current centralized digital asset trading.
Q2. What were the initial thoughts behind the project?
Many people compare Defi to Lego because smart contracts and protocols related to decentralized finance can be freely combined like Lego, giving birth to decentralized stable coins, exchanges, lending platforms, synthetic assets, derivative commodities, etc. However, at present, general users still play the role of a participant in Defi, which does not achieve true decentralization. I think the most attractive point of Arthur-EX is that it allows all users to turn from Defi participants to Defi creators. With the addition of Arthur-ex underlying technology, users can easily build their own decentralized exchanges, their own decentralized platforms, and even create their own financial miracles in the world of Defi.
As a cutting-edge technology enterprise in the blockchain ecosystem, ARTHUR-EX has built a blockchain underlying technology service platform with independent intellectual property rights. It builds the infrastructure of digital currency financial security protection through the layout of the bottom chain ecology, exchange ecology, and application layer ecology, and creates a trillion digital currency transaction ecosystem!
Q3. Every project has a story behind its name, Can you tell us more about the story behind this? Who is the team behind this project? can tell us their background?
Arthur was the most legendary king of ancient Britain. It is said that he was the head of the Knights of the Round Table, which means equality and unity. All the knights of the Round Table were equal and partners. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are also symbols of justice and hope, and the meaning of the Knights of the Round Table easily reminds us of DAO. As a decentralized financial underlying platform, ARTHUR-EX is supported by a fully transparent decentralized autonomous system, which allows each platform builder to clearly understand the entire technical construction and value flow within the platform, fully reflecting the public trust value of blockchain and achieving true equality and justice. As for the meaning of EX, many people do think of it as the abbreviation for exchange, but in fact, EX is the abbreviation for extendible, and we hope we can keep extending our underlying infrastructure to perfect it.
The core team of Arthur-EX is from the UK, and the development members include developers from all over the world. The technical team has conducted in-depth research on the cross-chain direction and has rich experience in big data analysis and mining and blockchain-related work. The operation team covers senior operation experts in blockchain and financial fields in Europe, America, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. Arthur's investment institutions and partner organizations include Dalma Capital, University of Glasgow, Cointelegraph, Sora Ventures, and other world-leading investment companies, universities, and media.
Q4. What makes Arthur Ex different from other competitors?
Arthur-EX has the following advantages:
Efficient Performance: it provides high-performance read cache and write cache, with TPS of more than 140,000.
Alliance Network: it can provide an affiliate network that can fully meet the compliance of settlement centers, exchanges, regulators, and general trading users KYC/KML.
Decentralized System Management: It meets the vast majority of application scenarios created under the current Defi market, building a complete ecosystem from the underlying technology to the application layer.
High Response and High Throughput: The project gathered a large number of top technical talents for independent research and development to optimize the user experience and performance to the maximum.
Q5. What are major milestones achieved so far and what are the next 100 days' plans?
Arthur-EX has six main applications, including digital currency exchange transactions, creating an exchange by one click, issuance tokens, financial and insurance services, mint NFT, one-click aggregated mortgage lending, digital assets custody, etc.
At present, features such as issuing a token with one click, creating an exchange with one click, and mint NFT features are live now, come and try it out, guys! Testnet links: https://aecotestnet.arthurex.com/
On the one hand, we will continue to improve our ecological scenarios and launch our next feature: minting NFT as soon as possible, and on the other hand, we are counting down to the launch of the mainnet, when AECO will be available on the secondary market. All our activities will be synchronized with our social media and community, please stay tuned!
Q6. Is your project a local or global project?”
-How many communities, do you have for non-English users?
Our objective is to become the underlying platform for global decentralized financial transactions, and we will gradually support multiple languages including Arabic, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, etc. to clear the language barrier for users around the world. At present, our Discord community has opened channels in India, Vietnam, Nigeria, turkey, etc. Welcome to join our discord channel! Also, we have recruited community partners in several countries around the world, and we will establish channels in many languages in Telegram afterward.
Q7. Most investors are mainly concerned with the token’s short-term price rather than the project’s long-term value. Can you think of some fresh long-term investment strategies for users? What can we expect in the near and long term from this project?
AECO is the native currency of Arthur-EX.
Its application scenarios are as follows:
1. Cross-chain settlement transactions: During cross-chain settlement transactions, AECO can be used as a settlement token for cross-chain transaction settlement. l
2. Liquidity mining: Users who participate in platform transactions and provide liquidity by using AECO to receive AECO token rewards. l
3. Exchange platform rewards: To join the exchange trading, you need to mortgage a certain amount of AECO before you can join the trading alliance. l
4. Community governance: Users with AECO can participate in the community governance of the ARTHUR-EX ecosystem and vote on major events and platform development trends on the ARTHUR-EX platform l
5. Mortgage loan: Trading users mortgage AECO and get other trading tokens
6. Scenarios such as lock-up and reduction of handling fees: Transaction users who hold a certain amount of AECO can pay less or no transaction fees
What is AECO?
AECO is the native token of Arthur-EX. It is used as a settlement token for cross-chain transactions. Holding AECO, you can participate in liquidity mining to make huge profits,issue tokens, mint NFT, create exchanges, and enrich core functions of exchanges, participate in community governance, unlock subsequent features of DeFi full-scene service.
What you can get by holding AECO now?

Q8. NFTs are undeniably a big deal in the blockchain space right now. There are an increasing number of NFTs being created across a broad range of platforms like music, art, gaming, and collectibles. Do you plan to release NFT? If yes, When will that happen in the future?
Yes, we plan to launch our own NFT platform soon. The core of the next phase of Arthur-EX testnet development is to improve the test network’s one-click minting NFT feature and the opening of the NFT Mall. Currently, you can already see the prototype we have built on the testnet, and the corresponding features are expected to be open to users next month. Please keep an eye on our official announcement on Twitter. In addition, the Arthur-EX team will also participate in the creation and sale of the Arthur-EX series of NFT to enrich our ecosystem.
Q9. Trust is very important in business, what makes investors, customers, and users feel safe when working with your project?
As a decentralized platform, ARTHUR-EX management architecture is supported by a completely transparent decentralized autonomous system. This structure allows each platform construction practitioner to clearly understand all the technical construction and value circulation in the platform, which fully reflects the credibility value of the blockchain. All decisions in ARTHUR-EX are made based on the referendum decisions of the token holders, and all technical updates are publicized in the community. The completely decentralized management system completely avoids the disadvantages of centralized management of traditional institutions and provides an excellent and trust-free solution to problems such as centralized management authority, data tampering, and independent decision-making on the direction of the group.
To ensure the fairness and smooth circulation of AECO’s value and prevent large-scale trading and black-box operations that ever occurred in the history of blockchain, AECO conducts decentralized autonomous management from the root based on the above technical characteristics and hires financial auditing, analysis, and investment practitioners from many global core financial institutions to join the Financial Regulatory Council, so as to provide professional supervision and guidance from a financial perspective. Moreover, the underlying system of the digital asset trading platform on the ARTHUR-EX ecological blockchain is highly industry-forward, and a number of innovative financial services have been launched for the rational use of practitioners and users in the ecosystem
Q10. Without sufficient funds, any project cannot carry out its development whatever it is good. To me, the main priority is to have sufficient funds to run a project. Is your team financially able to carry out this project?
Yes. first of all, the development funds we got from the early private placement are enough to support the technology development of our project so far, so we don’t need to get more funds by public offering too early, we prefer to focus on the technology development and implementations first. Secondly, we believe that the price of the coin should not be controlled by the concept and the so-called project endorsement, but we should wait until all functions are implemented and let the users decide the value of the project. At the same time, ARTHUR-EX also does not want to disclose the early investment institutions to speculate the price of the coin, thus affecting the users who really want to participate in the ecological construction.
