PREFACE
Today’s article will discuss something very unique and exceptional. Two weeks ago I can remember an argument with a friend who was trying to prove a point that the current crytcorrencies have failed to some extent in their primary goals which were mainly security, scalability, market liquidity and others in that line: after comparing so many platforms I was almost speechless when I also saw with him that the current exchange market is lacking a lot.
In the first Quarter of this year (2018), the cryptocurrency future was promising. As early as it was the market had attained a market cap of about one trillion-dollar, this alone had displaced many existing agencies . But recent months have tend to identify very paramount challenges in the industry which has slowed down the mass adoption of this currencies, this problems or challenges are explained below;
INSECURITY
Since the onset, cryptocurrency has promised the World optimumly secured exchanges, it seems a lot of criminal minds have been fully out to frustrate these goals. It seems all the cyber criminal minds are out to completely tear down the reputation of cryptocurrency and Blockchain. In 2017 alone careful statistics have recorded a lost of over $250 million dollars to security breaches or hacks, and early 2018 about $700 million dollars was lost by major exchanges. Many now become afraid, “if this is possible just at the beginning with a relatively lower popularity, what would happen in coming years”. These were the exact words my friend used while we argued.LOW SCALABILITY
At some point the current crypto exchanges leave their users to the knowledge or idea that they were not prepared for business. Although it is understandable that early 2018 and late 2017 brought a massive influx of new users and traders at rates greater than expected, the fact remains unchanged that the current cryptocurrency exchanges have failed in transaction scalability with many of them reaching scalability threshold so quickly & early.
It is no longer hidden that many exchanges by one means or the other manipulate cryto markets. They employ methods ranging from voluntary momentum ignition to pump & dump, spoofing, wash trading and so many other methods. If you and I were to be investors, why would we ever want to make the mistake of playing a manipulated game.Another devastating challenge is that inadequate market liquidity. The cryptocurrency market has been manipulated to result in price fluctuations at very short and abnormal time interval. “The cornerstone of any successful exchange is liquidity”.
Poor customer support will not be exempted from this list. A careful survey by the ONAM team raised customers support as one of the factors challenging the adoption of most crypto exchanges Users complained of slow or delayed response, urgent cases like lost of funds, 2FA resets, Account Malfunctions were not exempted from these delays.
The end of my list features inadequate regulatory compliance due to lack of regulation many investors are promised heaven and earth during ICO only for investors to find out that nothing is delivered this scares novice investors away from the industry as a whole.
Let’s now discuss the solutions ONAM has to offer:
Security: with the right Mechanisms at the right time, ONAM has the ability to prevent any problems, not only when they get serious, but even at potential stage (potentially possessing characters which are not genuine). With a continuous monitory mechanism and real-time visibility. ONAM can detect prevent threats at the early stage. Apart from the standard DDoS mitigation 2FA and anti-phishing solutions the ONAM platform has taken time to create its own “proprietary Advanced Threat prevention, intrusion Detection and Trade Surveillance systems.” ONAM aims to maintain customer trust by ensuring funds are protected all the time, with an efficiency of 100%.
ONAM has fully planed for the scaling challenge. Most systems are struggling to update their scalabilities to reach a level of processing of one or two million transactions every second. ONAM outperforms them all, if at the onset we are talking about a versatile matching engine capable of processing in the excess of over 10 million transactions per second with latencies and uncertainties as low and minimal as 40 seconds.
The ONAM team is ready and committed to inviting large market makers, miners & volume traders, and by incentizing them and utilizing order books from multiple exchanges, the problem of market liquidity will become a thing to be remembered.
By using very advanced and unique systems to monitor trades, this systems analyze data before and after trades, this ensures that suspicious activities including unusually bulky trades, pass-through trades, wash trades, spoofing, layering, stuffing, hammering and any other forms of market manipulation are identified prevented.
ONAM hasn’t forgotten about the customer support inefficiency. ONAM aims to provide the best customer service in the entire crypto industry. The platform aims at providing “24/7/365 live chats in multiple languages and commit to addressing the most common issues within the 15 minutes of a support ticket being submitted…” the platform also plans to provide mobile support within the first 6 months of full launch, in order to ensure that all problems arising are resolved:
Having come to the understanding of the importance of compliance to regulatory processes, the ONAM project is out to become fully compliant ensuring transparency in order to attract and earn the confidence of the public.
Let’s take a look at the unique features responsible for the ability of ONAM to provide solutions to the cryptoindustry
ONAM possess a high performance combination of super security and trading tools system powered by machine learning. This is also responsible for its super high scalability of over 10 million transactions per seconds and very low latencies as low as 40 Nano seconds.

Use case
Albert is a major crypto trader, he trades for living. He started trading as one of the earliest traders in the cryptoindustry as a whole. Alfred was doing fine until early 2018; he lost his funds, he could perceive the exchanges manipulating the market and worst of it all the cases were increasing with no solution. Alfred was down for a while, not being able to trade with such entrusted exchanges. Here comes ONAM, with all the solutions Alfred has been praying for “truly God answers prayers” is all Alfred could say after reading of ONAM, now he is sure to get back on his feet and keep the train moving.
CONCLUSION
The onset and early growth of the cryptoindustry was a spectacular moment to behold, though the cryptoglory has been lost and the adoption of cryptocurrencies by the masses have been greatly affected, ONAM has come to bring back the lost hope of crypto users with effective security tools, advanced trading mechanisms and super-large scalability.
