Record

Please take all of my apologies for the radio silence this Spring. Launching a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp in the UK can be cumbersome.

I started the project in early January, and I was fortunate enough to find an interested angel investor back then. I was so happy to see people excited about what I was building, and I want to thank all of them for the support. Unfortunately, soon afterwards:

The market crashed. The BitGrail hack was unveiled. This caused massive FUD, preventing the investment in DagHub to get through.

I didn’t give up though, and I started to build the exchange, as I’m a decent software engineer myself. I had to deal with everything from frontend & backend to DevOps & security on my own; you can find some screenshots here.

There were also people who gladly offered to help me pro bono. Kudos Alex Aves and Razvan Apostu.

The idea of an exchange dedicated to dag-based cryptocurrencies is appealing, but competition became really fierce. Other exchanges are aware of DAGs and I can tell you for sure that many have Nano, Iota & Byteball on their bucket list.
