Blockchain startup Blockchain has shared its roadmap for the next few months. The company is launching a hardware portfolio in collaboration with Ledger. Blockchain is also launching a new trading platform called Swap: this platform will find the best trading prices in a variety of exchange and liquidity platforms, so that you can exchange tokens at a fair price directly from your Blockchain account.
Blockchain is one of the most successful cryptocurrency portfolios in circulation. The company has built a solid user base with a software portfolio for Bitcoin and now also Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash.
With respect to traditional exchanges, the control of one's private keys is maintained. Blockchain can not access your tokens, hackers can not flush your wallet if Blockchain is hacked. Blockchain currently manages 30 million portfolios, accounting for over $ 200 billion in transaction volume over the last two years.
But a software portfolio is not as secure as a hardware portfolio. There have been countless phishing attempts and scams to take over your private keys. That's why Blockchain will release its hardware portfolio, a kind of.
The company is collaborating with the French Ledger startup release the Blockbox Lockbox. It looks exactly like Ledger Nano S, but with a Blockchain logo. It will contain a customer Blockchain firmware and will integrate with the Blockchain portfolios.
Just like Ledger's app, you can check your balance without connecting your hardware portfolio to a computer. But as soon as you want to process a transaction, you need to connect the Ledger's wallet to confirm the transaction on the device itself.
It will be interesting to see how your blockchain wallet and the one linked to your Lockbox Lockbox work together. The Lockbox could work as a sort of long-term deposit while you could keep some coins on the standard Blockchain portfolio for frequent transactions.
As for Swap, Blockchain is building its trading product. It will not be a separate exchange as the company plans to integrate with multiple sources. In the end, Blockchain hopes to add support for decentralized exchange protocols so that it can exchange tokens without going through an exchange.
The Lockbox Lockbox will cost $ 99 and will begin shipping in November. I hope that in future there will be other versions that support Bluetooth and mobile phones, since Blockchain is very popular on mobile devices.
