The problems of the financial services industry are apparent, how then will TradeConnect work in other to solve these problems.
TRANSACTION SPEED, LIQUIDITY AND USER BASE
The success of Tradeconnect is based on the number of participants, how liquid the network is to ensure instant matching of transactions and speed at which the transactions are concluded.
HYBRID APPROACH TO BLOCKCHAIN
Putting into consideration the limitations of blockchain as regards to speed the following approaches are been used to enhance the functionality of the network.
a. OFFCHAIN TRANSACTIONS
Participants would be required to initially lock an amount into an ethereum trading account then store all trading contracts off chain on the TradeConnect network. This will give near instant results and the profit and loss can be aggregated as a bulk transaction and netted off at once.
b. POST TRADE LEDGER
The volume of the network is expected to grow and as such there will be a great dependency on verifying the actual processed. TradeConnect will launch a private blockchain ledger driven on a consortium model.
THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH
Cryptocurrency and FX markets are fast moving and perceptions of risk and volatility can make prices erratic which might not ultimately be to the benefit of the trader. A fair market will be created by allocated a mid market price to oracles will set the mid maker that others will trade by.

Counterparties: ('Takers') :
They browse through contracts that are available and accept them being signing with their private keys. This is then submitted to an oracle which signs and submit it to the smart contract
Types of Providers:
- TradeConnect Provider: stores the locked Thinkcoin token and settles the trades made offchain
2.Relays: they store trading offers created by Makers offchain - Oracles: deliver all information and determine the contract result by submitting the smart contract. Likely oracles include Bloomberg, Thompson reuters, Cbonds, Fidessa, Interactive Data, Markit, Morning Star, S&P, Six financial and all major networks worldwide.
LIQUIDITY - Achieving scale using the Connect Fee

A part of the fee will go to Makers as incentive while a proportion will revert to Tradeconnect to help develop and build a better network for all participants
SMART LIQUIDITY MATCHING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
The network will solve the problem of traditional financial system of matching by drawing on the decades of experience of ThinkMarkets group which would allow them create complex scoring models that will tag each subscriber on the network with various scores. The unit of the scores will be called personas.
