6 02 Problem 3

7 2. Problem Bad Security Most exchanges use risky hot or hybrid wallets which are susceptible to hacks For example Coincheck uses a fully hot wallet system and was hacked in Jan. 2018, $500 million worth of the NEM coins were stolen. Bitfinex is using hybrid wallets, both hot and cold wallets. This is the main reason they can still be hacked and have their client s digital assets stolen. Some loose rules on security will also lead to property loss beyond redemption, hackers can potentially use the flaws to control the accounts make the them ransacked. Pro uses a 100% cold wallet storage system, removing the risk of your secret keys being hacked. Low Liquidity The exchange which lack of Liquidity will often create spike or flash crush in the price. Behind Professional, there s our liquidity platfrom named WaterDrop liquidity system, with the direct access of our partners, mine pools, institudes traders, offering high liquidity on the platform. Inappropriate System Architecture Many cryptocurrency exhcanges were start from a rough design of system architecture, even some popular exchanges on the market couldn t provide a stable trading enviornment for clients. The problem is they don t have appropriate system architecture design, once an exchange lanuch, the system achitecture is difficult to modify becuase the system has to be offline for a long time to finish the maintance and update which is unacceptable for serious traders and institutes. 4
