Introduction
The blockchain technology has provided an avenue for trading of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. Cryptocurrency can be exchanged for other altcoins or fiat currencies. This has led to the emergence of several cryptocurrency exchange platforms. The number of existing crypto exchange platforms could have been enough to satisfy investors but the limitations of the current market situation gave room new crypto exchange platform to emerge.
Read with me as I introduce to you ONAM.
What is ONAM?
ONAM is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency exchange platform. ONAM has come to consolidate the existing limitations of the current crypto exchange market. It is a fully compliant platform, that want to resolve the shortcomings and other issues our competitors are facing and create scalable, and transparent exchange that’s able to handle future mass adoption.

Existing Problems and ONAM's Solutions.
1. Security Challenge
Security is one of the greatest threat a financial institution can have. Since cryptocurrency is traded online via internet connection, it is highly prone to hackers.
Cryptocurrency exchanges have been the targets of various hacking groups beginning in 2011, and since then security concerns have only grown with each new breach. In 2017 alone crypto exchanges lost over $266 million dollars to security breaches and in the first half of 2018 major exchanges have already suffered losses in the excess of $731 million dollars to various security breaches. Security experts predict even larger scale attacks, thefts, and fraud as cryptocurrencies become more mainstream in the coming years Source: Whitepaper.
ONAM's Solution
ONAM has made security of investors' funds its priority by undergoing a continuous monitoring and real-time visibility. ONAM have also developed their own proprietary Advanced Threat Prevention and Intrusion Detection powered by machine learning to secure our platform. With the help of machine learning technologies, we will be able to detect any irregular activities and our Advanced Threat Prevention system will flag any potential problems in real-time, preventing breaches before it is too late. Quarterly 3rd party audits are also a key part of ONAM's security obligation to its clients.
2. Scalability
Scalability is the ability of a financial institution to handle the increased market demand. With the massive influx of new traders and investors entering the market, several crypto exchanges have been running close to maximum capacity. This is because the current cryptocurrency exchanges are not engineered to keep up with the upcoming growth of the market.
ONAM's Solution
ONAM was has an ultra-high performance and versatile matching engine capable of processing in the excess of 10 million transactions per second with latencies as low as 40 nanoseconds. This is in contrast to existing exchanges which can only process 1-2 million transactions per second.
3. Market Manipulation
Cryptocurrency exchanges are riddled with market manipulation techniques from spoofing, wash-trading, momentum ignition to pump and dump. These practices take advantage of novice and seasoned traders alike and would not be tolerated in traditional, regulated markets. In the volatile, unpredictable, and heavily manipulated crypto market, a lack of regulations makes it even more difficult to gain the trust of the masses or for large institutional investors to enter the market.
ONAM's Solution
Based on machine learning technology, ONAM utilizes Real-Time Market Surveillance, Supervision and Compliance system to monitor suspicious trading activity. The system analyzes pre-trade and post-trade data to identify suspicious activity such as unusually large trades, pass-through trades, wash trades, spoofing, layering, stuffing, hammering, front-running, and momentum ignition.
4. Customer Support
Other crypto exchange platforms have taken a uninspired approach in offering customer support to their users.
For over six months we conducted a survey of customers from the top five exchanges. Customer support was one of the main concerns raised. Some users reported waiting weeks for submitted support tickets to be addressed, even in urgent cases like loss of funds, account lockouts, and 2FA resets Source: Whitepaper.
ONAM's Solution
ONAM aims to offer 24/7/365 live customer support via chats in multiple languages. Common issues will be addressed within 15 minutes via support ticket system. Phone support will be offered within the first 6 months of launch as well.
5. Liquidity
The volatility of cryptocurrency has made it experience price fluctuation within seconds. his can also be caused by poor order books, large gaps between asks and bids.
ONAM's Solution
ONAM will attract large market makers, miners, and volume traders to participate in their network. High slippage and market manipulation issues will be fought off by enlisting book orders from multiple exchanges.
6. Compliance
The lack of regulations make it difficult to gain the attention of individual and institutional investors who are looking to enter the market.
ONAM's Solution
The SEC has taken the stance that almost all token issues are security issues. This has resulted in multiple subpoenas to various companies launching ICOs. Licenses are necessary for initiating public offerings and ONAM's top legal representatives are all informed on the latest positions regarding SEC and its view on ICO activities.
