However, before we look into these features packed by the platform, we have to know about the challenges faced by the current crypto exchanges and ONAM’s solutions to these challenges.

Challenges faced by the current cryptocurrency exchanges

Security breaches

In 2011 and 2014 one of the biggest crypto excahnges Mt.Gox was hacked and approximately 1.35 million BTC was lost in these attacks. Many other exchanges have experienced these security breaches and it has been predicted by security experts that these attacks and frauds would increase once cryptocurrencies become more mainstream in the coming years.

Scalability limits

Many of the current cryptocurrency exchanges are not engineered to keep up with the current and upcoming growth of the crypto market. This limitation was exposed during the massive influx of new traders and investors late 2017 and early 2018. Many exchanges couldn’t keep up with this influx and had to limit the rate of new investors and traders on their platform.

Market manipulation

Market manipulation is one of the problems faced in the crypto industry. Some of the Current crypto exchanges are riddled with market manipulation techniques such as pump and dump, dark pool trading, whale trades and wash trading. Novices are prone to these tactics and there is lack of regulation by cryptocurrency exchanges to tackle this issue.

Lackluster customer support

Some of the cryptocurrency exchange lacks the appropriate channel and personnel for customer support. It takes weeks for individuals to get a feedback on their submitted support tickets.

Lack of regulatory compliance

Lack of a good regulatory compliance in most exchanges is one of the reasons why some of these exchanges involve in market manipulation and these has led to the loss of potential and current investors in the crypto industry.

ONAM’s solutions to these challenges

Security

Hackers are constantly inventing new ways to bypass security protocol and these calls for continuous monitoring of the necessary tools to avoid these attacks. With the addition of industry standard DDoS mitigation, anti-phishing and 2FA authorization; ONAM has successfully developed Advanced Threat Prevention, Intrusion Detection and Trade Surveillance systems.

These systems are powered by machine learning along with encrypted databases, and with the help of these systems any threat to the platform would be detected in real-time, preventing breaches before it is too late.

Market manipulation

In order to prevent market manipulation, ONAM has employed the use of Real-Time Market Surveillance, Supervision and Compliance system monitors for monitoring suspicious trading activities on the platform.

These systems are able to analyze pre-trade and post-trade activities, in order to generate any suspicious activity reports. With these systems in place the platform would be able to eliminate market manipulation.

Scalability

Many exchanges are unable to handle more than one or two million transactions per second. In consideration of this current and future changes to the crypto industry, ONAM’s engineering team has successfully created an ultra-high performance engine utilizing GoLang programming language. This engine is capable of processing in excess of 10 million transactions per second with latencies as low as 40 nanoseconds.
