Abstract
A brief glance at the emerging market of crypto projects is sufficient to understand the potential of the blockchain as a powerful, advanced technology of the future. Yet, despite its vast prospects, a major part of blockсhain-based systems still remains at an entry-level, far from being qualified for a generaluser.
Today, the developers’ community is facing a number of unresolved issues preventing a full-scale implementation of the blockchain technology in a vast variety of industries, where it could potentially be applied at a great profit.
Costs are the cornerstone in the world of cryptocurrency and crypto-trading. All investors must deal with several types of fees. This is the standard model: You pay for third party services, such as in the classic stock market.
In addition, because of the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency, you have to pay for blockchain usage. In addition to these costs, many wallets and stock exchanges charge their own fees to add or withdraw funds from the market.
As a result, there are three types of transaction costs for working with digital assets:
Fees for order execution
Transaction costs
Costs to add and withdraw funds
The world of cryptocurrency is full of exchange and exchange services, each of which has its own cost system. In this article, we will look at some popular sources for BTC / LTC exchanges and different amounts of exchange to understand the difference between atomic exchange and traditional cost systems.
Crypto market challenges
Blockchain-powered technology intends on leading the future of financial markets. Today, however, we still observe extensive obstacles to the development of blockchain-based markets.
One of the greatest market challenges is the remaining necessity of trust towards centralized financial services in an otherwise decentralized environment.
Third party custody risks affect ecosystem sustainability, bringing vulnerability to manipulative and regulative actions.
Atomic Wallet radically solves problems are described above by introducing a fundamentally new platform for custody-free, transparent, immutable cryptocurrency trading. Our platform is the simplest way to connect buyers and always within a decentralized framework. Atomic Wallet is a new type of decentralized cross-blockchain exchange.
Atomic swap costs in the Atom Wallet
Atomic swap operates in a fully decentralized way, which allows you to get rid of two types of costs at once. First, you don't need to pay intermediary fees (to exchange or exchanger) for crypto transactions. Second, the wallet itself does not require payment for transactions. You only need to pay a fixed network fee, which does not depend on the amount of currency exchanged.
Total cost: 1.4 USD
B total cost: 1.4 USD
Transaction costs are constant for each swap amount in one moment.
