Waves Blockchain Platform Launches Mobile App and Bitcoin Gateway
- The bitcoin gateway is the first implemented with EUR, USD, GBP and CNY promised soon along a decentralized exchange.
Waves, a decentralized Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer. The ledger can be public or private (permissioned.) In this sense, blockchain is immune to the manipulation of data making it not only open but verifiable.

The Android app, provides a way for users to view balances and make transfers on the go. The app also offers developers the opportunity to create their own wallets customized for specific tokens.
The bitcoin gateway allows users to deposit bitcoins to their Waves address, where they can be held as Waves tokens, transferred, or traded on the forthcoming decentralized exchange. With a focus on security, the bitcoin gateway employs secure servers and a two-of- three multi-signature approach. Agreement between the servers is required for deposits and withdrawals to be processed.

“The secure interface between the Waves ecosystem and the bitcoin blockchain raises the prospect of trustless trading between virtual and real-world currency pairs,” said Sasha Ivanov, founder and CEO of Waves Platform. “Market volatility has made it clear that centralized exchanges pose a threat to the success and adoption of decentralized currencies, and we’re playing a key role in bringing confidence to the digital assets ecosystem.”
The developers say that the bitcoin gateway is the first of several gateways to be implemented on Waves. In the coming weeks and months, EUR, USD, GBP and CNY gateways are planned, as well as the addition of other major Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies By using cryptography, virtual currencies, known as cryptocurrencies, are nearly counterfeit-proof digital currencies that are built on blockchain technology. Comprised of decentralized networks, blockchain technology is not overseen by a central authority.Therefore, cryptocurrencies function in a decentralized nature which theoretically makes them immune to government interference.

In the case of fiat currencies, the Waves team says that its financial partners will provide insured and audited bank accounts to reflect token balances, maintaining compliance in their regulatory jurisdictions.
