Changelly, a leading cryptocurrency instant-exchange service, has added support for WAVES on its platform.
The addition of WAVES as a new coin option will allow users to buy and sell it through the application for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies without needing to sign up for a traditional exchange. As Changelly also offers Visa and MasterCard payments, it further makes it easier to acquire virtual currency and get started with Waves’ custom tokens functionality.
“We are proud to collaborate with Waves, as a solid technology platform. Together, we’ll make blockchain tokens available for everyone”, Konstantin Gladych, CEO at Changelly, said.
Launched in 2015, Changelly is as an instant exchange app, similar to the well-known ShapeShift. While a traditional exchange requires users to register before trading against an order book, with variable depth and the problems of slippage that can result, Changelly aggregates rates from the largest trading platforms and offers a single rate. The commission fee is 0.5%.
“Changelly offers a very fast and convenient way of buying WAVES, lowering the barrier for businesses to launch new tokens and use the facilities offered by the Waves platform”, Sasha Ivanov, CEO of Waves, said in a statement. “Changelly’s team is a well-known and trusted part of the crypto world. Cryptocurrency is still too complicated for the average user, and so solutions like this are vital for making it more accessible.”
Waves stated that its platform offers powerful token operations, including the ability to create, distribute and transfer blockchain tokens quickly and easily, thereby making it a popular choice for projects seeking to crowdfund new initiatives. In addition, the built-in decentralised exchange (DEX) enables users to trade any pair of tokens they want, securely and in near real-time.
