One common question we receive is “How are you different from exchanges?”

Our primary differences are listed in the following chart (with specific details on pages 6–8 on our whitepaper):

However; our largest difference is that:

Coinvest is a trading platform and market marker that is completely decentralized.

Let’s take today’s news regarding Coinbase as an example.

As a result of the recent traffic and price corrections in the cryptocurrency market, Coinbase has halted trading and delayed withdrawals on their exchange. Users are not able to sell and protect their individual investments. At the same time, user funds are illiquid for the time being. We believe that this type of centralization and control goes against the values of blockchain and the overall industry.

At Coinvest, once our codebase is deployed, (aside from bug fixes), there are no third-parties that will prevent you from executing trades and spending your funds. All decisions are managed and controlled by our autonomous smart contracts that are only reliant on computer code and mathematical equations. This includes user invested funds held in escrow and backed up by the COIN reserve. Both of which are held inside of the smart contract itself. Thus, allowing you to safely, securely, and freely manage and spend your investments.

When we started Coinvest, it was with the intent to support the free market with no governance and control. As advocates of the blockchain industry, it saddens us to see examples in the industry that counter this belief. On behalf of our team, we are sorry for those that have been impacted and will continue to work hard on your behalf to create solutions that solve these problems for the industry.
