About Waves
Waves is an open, decentralised blockchain platform that allows users to create and launch their own custom crypto tokens. The Waves blockchain was founded in Moscow in 2016, by entrepreneur Sasha Ivanov. The mission of Ivanov and his team was to create a new blockchain network, and to empower developers to create their own applications.
Is the Waves platform different from the Waves cryptocurrency?
WAVES (the cryptocurrency) is one aspect of the Waves platform. Some coins, such as Bitcoin, operate exclusively as a cryptocurrency. Waves is a little different, as it is a software framework, which features different tools which have been designed to help developers build a range of applications. To run these applications, users pay fees using WAVES tokens.
There’s lots of positive attributes to the Waves framework, which could be described as a ‘one-stop-shop’. The Waves platform provides WAVES coin holders with a multi-cryptocurrency wallet, as well as a decentralized exchange that allows instant trading of cryptocurrencies — all at competitive rates, with no upper limit on transactions.
Why use Waves?
The platform is easy to use
Waves has developed a highly accessible user interface, and easily allows for the creation and trade of crypto tokens — without needing extensive programming knowledge.
It’s capable of handling fiat transfers
There are a number of licensed gateways, which enable the easy transfer of funds between WAVES tokens, fiat currencies, and other cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin) in and out of the Waves blockchain.
Benefit from Waves’ Digital wallets
Waves’ digital wallets are virtual wallets, used to hold cryptocurrencies privately and securely. This compares to the other option of holding purchased coins in an account on the exchange that the coins were acquired on. This can leave the card-holder at risk of theft. A Wave digital wallet (available on the Waves Platform website) is automatically created when a user creates an account.
