The cryptocurrency disruption has taken the world by a storm in the past few years and has led the coders around the world into a crypto-rush. Unarguably, what would have been a much needed sustainable change to the existing legacy technologies has been handled with a sense of urgency. However, one organization has made its mission to consolidate its position in the cryptosphere by forming a strategic and well-knitted web of services that takes blockchain to the people – Waves platform. Waves is an open blockchain platform – similar to the bitcoin blockchain. The goal of the blockchain is to create an exchange of digital assets while also providing a crowdfunding solution.
