PLAAK Exchange Launch-How will it work and what will be available?

As PLAAK’s exchange nears its launch date, there is an undeniable buzz about what the new exchange will bring from day one and how it will continue to grow. The PLAAK exchange soft launch will initially allow 1000 users at a first come first serve basis as part of an initiative to ensure user security and the smooth running of operations. The number of users will subsequently increase every week thereafter.

At launch a link to the exchange signup will be made available on the new landing page. The time that this link will be made available will be announced this Thursday. The link will lead to the signup procedure where all fields and relevant documents must be submitted to fulfill KYC requirements. Once everything is completed the submission will be put into a queue for verification. Verification will occur in order of submission and an email will be sent with a confirmation link once your submission has been verified and approved. Once you receive that link you can then start trading on the exchange. When 1000 users have been approved all remaining submissions will remain in queue and will be approved in submission order the following week.
