Waves DEX completes major update with new UI, improved performance

Waves, the blockchain for custom token generation and trading made a surprise announcement today with its decentralized exchange having undergone a major redesign and UI update. The new release makes the Waves DEX more user-friendly and professional.

The main highlights include a completely new UI plus improved app stability and performance by moving to custom-built data infrastructure and API.

Features of the Waves DEX:

Decentralised and anonymous. No middle man or difficult registration procedures. Funds are stored safely in your wallet, not on the exchange.
Real liquidity. >$6,310,000 average 24h volume.
Insanely low fees. <$0.01 (0.003 WAVES) per order.
Fast and secure. Matcher nodes execute trades in near-real time, whilst the Waves-NG protocol ensures that settlement occurs on the blockchain within seconds — giving speeds similar to centralized exchanges.
Unlimited withdrawal limits for crypto.
Issue a token and see it on DEX straight away. All tokens launched within the Waves Platform appear on DEX immediately after issuance and can be traded instantly.
Trading of any pairs. Easy and flexible search for a given pair, from hundreds of thousands of possibilities.
Multiple fiat and crypto gateways. BTC, BCH, ETH, WAVES, ZEC, DASH, LTC and XMR; EUR, USD and TRY.
Available for any device. Use DEX within a browser, standalone or mobile versions.

Below is a closer look at the latest DEX UI.
