Waves marketing says it offers a decentralized exchange, but in reality it does not as the Waves blockchain does not have order matching on the blockchain but instead uses centralized servers to match orders.
LOL. Thanks for the info.

Regardless of technical implementation of their version of DEX, on my scale of trust these wave guys are somewhere very close to zero.

Like lakerta says it's not about how the order book is kept, it's about preventing front running and manipulation of order matching by centralized entities.

who cares how exactly the order book is kept.

So let them front run ?

Do you need to trust waves to keep your funds like in centralized exchanges, or do you have control over your funds all the time? If the latter is true, their approach makes a lot of sense, since you don't need to trust them, and who cares how exactly the order book is kept.

Bitshares on the other hand offers fully decentralized order matching on the blockchain.

    • BitShares DEX
Waves 1,000 tx/s  BitShares 100,000 tx/s

Looks like that CEO took 30K bitcoins, premined 15%, delivered a mediocre product and is living life now...

Hi everyone
I would like to know how much different is this project from Waves Platform?
Thank you
