in #exchange • 7 years ago (edited)

"Hawala.Today is the first real-time P2P crypto-fiat currency exchange. It’s driven by a simple core goal – enable users to purchase and trade cryptocurrency."

The Cryptocurrency Hype

I confess! Right now, I am addicted to the latest crypto craze —  Airdrops, and Bounty Campaigns. An airdrop is a “free giveaway of pre-mined coins” and is basically done when a blockchain project decides​ ​to​ ​distribute​ ​free​ ​tokens,​ ​or​ ​coins,​ ​to​ ​the​ ​community. This​ ​happens​ ​after​ the project has completed its ​ICO​ ​​and​ ​the​ ​token​ ​has​ ​become​ ​tradeable​ ​on​ ​the​ ​open​ ​market. It provides the project a feel of the market and at the same time build early supporters.

I sift through different forums checking out details of airdrops and bounty campaigns of many cryptocurrencies and waits for the release of their airdrop applications (usually using Google forms) to make sure that I get prime slots for the distributed stakes. Over time, I have amass quite a collection of coins and tokens which I received from different blockchain projects. But to really realize the fruit of my labor, I must exchange this virtual coins into currencies that is useful in the real world. Thus, I scouted for Cryptocurrency Exchanges.

Looking for that Ideal Crypto Exchange

Cryptocurrency exchanges are websites where you can buy, sell or exchange cryptocurrencies for other digital currency or traditional currency like US dollars or Euro. There are fancy trading tools for those that want to trade professionally. One will likely need to use an exchange that requires you to verify your ID and open an account. If you just want to make the occasional, straightforward trade, there are also platforms that you can use that do not require an account.

Despite being extremely successful in their respective markets, very few Cryptocurrency exchanges have managed to bring a balanced ecosystem together which could sustain a global p2p network and provide a more reliable and convenient interaction. Oftentimes, the existing issues standing in the way of being a perfect exchange are identified as:

  • Lengthy processing times
  • High costs/fees (especially fiat)
  • Limited asset management
  • Limited accessibility

Some exchanges has successfully avoided a few of the mentioned issues, but I am still on the hunt for one that offers all the mention features. It is during my online scouting for the best Cryptocurrency exchange that one Google link directed me to the offering of Hawala.Today exchange.

Revolutionizing the Crypto-Fiat Exchange


At its core, Hawala.Today, is a gateway between fiat and cryptocurrencies. The model built around it specifically focuses on dealing with the existing issues in the path to mass adoption. It is also inspired by the vision to see crypto asset trading and management become a favorable norm.

With a true P2P network, users of the Hawala.Today application will gain access to a free market where they have sole control of all assets. All information is stored on the user’s device and accessed remotely by the application as required. Hawala.Today does not store any user data.

Hawala.Today approaches the crypto space from an angle quite similar to LocalBitcoins, but with a network of P2P traders which have more opportunities to interact with and ultimately shape the community.
