We discuss what AirSwap is and where it’s headed. We then dive deep into their latest work, tokenized asset portfolios (TAPs).

Exchange hacks have plagued Crypto markets since the infamous hack of Mt.Gox in 2014, which triggered a 2-year bear market. At the time, 850,000 Bitcoins were stolen at a value of over $450m, though today that would be over $8bn. Since then, other notable hacks have included the $72m stolen from Bitfinex, and $500m of NEM stolen from Coincheck, so far, the largest hack to date.These crypto honeypots present an attractive opportunity for skilled hackers and probably the most significant fear for exchange operators. Users are at risk too, Buyers and sellers have to balance the convenience of holding coins on an exchange with the risk of a hack. Often, once a hack has been made public, you will see a flurry of Twitter posts saying "This is why you shouldn't keep your coins on an exchange."The nature of exchange risk has led to the emergence of decentralised exchanges, such as EtherDelta, IDEX and 0x. And while not a true exchange, the team will explain they are a marketplace, Airswap has thrown its hat into the ring with the launch of their platform.In this interview, I talk with Don Mosites, the engineering side of the co-founding team about the launch of the platform and the challenges they face with security, liquidity and market maker pricing.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

It seems like an impossible trade-off: how do you make a marketplace that people can go to—coordinate on—and yet that is decentralized? Here to answer that question are Don Mosites and Michael Oved of Swap Protocol. There are three primary components of their protocol. There's the discovery of tokens—being able to find the tokens you want to buy or sell; there's the pricing; and there's making the trade. There's no third party. People who are buying are connected to people who are selling, say, Ethereum. Then, they just submit the trades to the Blockchain. To learn more about the Swap Protocol, hit play.
