Waves is a decentralized multi-purpose exchange platform. Based on NXT’s colored coin technology, Waves was built completely from scratch and it’s the first production system being built on top of the Scorex framework. Waves addresses some of the major issues with the NXT platform (Like mandatory updates), while filling the demand for a stable Blockchain currency for investors, kickstarters and regular users.
