We’re now well into the third day of live, zero-fee trading on the DFE mainnet. Our first group of 20 traders have been putting the exchange through its paces, and as we shared yesterday, we’re seeing impressive results on both volume and profitability. Now, we thought it’s high time you hear some feedback from those that really matter – the traders themselves.

It’s difficult to describe the sense of anticipation and excitement that had been building before we opened the mainnet on Monday. But a picture tells a thousand words, so the screenshot below, taken at the time we opened, perhaps gives the best description.

Within a few minutes, our traders were off and demonstrating the full benefit of zero-fee trading.

After the initial flurry of trading, there was a lot of love for the developers for having delivered the exchange, on time, and as promised. And as you can see, our traders are also very happy with how smoothly the mainnet is running:

Although we would like to send our apologies to Mrs Neufeldt:

But our traders were starting to see the profits roll in:

Grandpa had them beat:

As the price of Bitcoin went on a tear last night, some of our traders were around to catch the action:

So as you can see, there’s plenty of fun to be had on the inside of the #DFE!

Some of our group have also been active on their social channels, sharing their trading activities. If you want to get a glimpse of live, zero-fee trading on the #DFE mainnet then check out these videos on YouTube.

Refining the User Experience

As we’ve said, part of the reason for onboarding such a small group in the beginning is because all this live trading action means they’re helping us weed out any remaining bugs and glitches in the DFE. We want to get as much as possible fixed before we start bringing in more traders.

So below, you can also see some examples of the kind of issues that the development team is still working to resolve. None of them are showstoppers for trading, but they’re all examples of where the overall user experience is still being refined.

Join Us for the AMA This Friday!

So hopefully you now have an idea of how our first week is progressing, and the kind of effort that our first group of 20 is putting into helping us get the DFE ready for onboarding the next group! We know this is one of your most burning questions right now, but there are plenty of other discussion points about what’s coming up for Digitex.

Therefore, Adam is gearing up for another one of his live AMA sessions, due to take place this Friday at 1 pm UTC on the Digitex YouTube channel. You still have time to submit any of your own questions using this form. Otherwise, just tune in at the start time, or catch up later via the summary we’ll be posting on the blog.
