The problem
Liquidity is siloed and diluted as new brokerages are created.
- Low Trading Volumes
- Big players accumulate the volumes, making it harder to bootstrap smaller exchanges and startups.
- Weak Security
- Frequent hacks of centralized exchanges (CEX) lower users’ trust and make them move to decentralized platforms (DEX).
- Poor User Experience
- Decentralized exchanges (DEX) using L1 blockchains suffer from low throughput performance and are not sufficient for major traders and institutions.
- High Entry Threshold
- Starting a crypto exchange brokerage requires enormous capital injections. 97% of brokers flop within 3 years.
By design, Yellow Network solves the problem of liquidity fragmentation and introduces a network of brokerages for a more efficient, truly decentralized, trading infrastructure.
THE SOLUTION
