Since we announced the launch of the Decentralized Exchange, we have received a number of questions around how it works, fees, and other particulars. To begin addressing this, we have assembled an FAQ in today’s update. We welcome any additional question you have. Feel free to post them in Discord or email them to us at [email protected].

Overview

Q. Where do I get started?

A. Initially you will visit www.haloplatform.tech to download the Featherlite wallet and connect to the HaloDEX. There will be an icon that says HaloDEX on the left hand side of the screen in the Featherlite wallet, click that and it will open HaloDEX. Additional instructions will be posted in Discord and on our wiki page.

Q. What is required to use the DEX?

A. All that is required is to have the Featherlite client installed and the coin/token you wish to exchange. During the Beta period, this will be ETH, but BTC will follow immediately after and additional coins will be added over the course of the coming weeks.

Q. Where can I buy HALO?

A. HALO will be available on the HaloDEX located with in the Featherlite client. The otc-market channel will close at this time, and be replaced with a cryptocurrency market discussion channel.

Q.When will the decentralized exchange be on the halodex.io website?

A. Once the HALO browser extension is completed.

Q. What are the fees?

A. We are in the process of finalizing our fee structure. Our fees will be highly competitive against other decentralized exchanges. Fees will be announced prior to launch.

Q. How do I apply to have a coin listed on HaloDEX?

A. Next week, we will begin a community poll to identify which coins should be added to the exchange next. Look for that in our #announcements channel soon. You can also inquire via email at [email protected].

Q. How are prices set on the DEX?

A. The prices set on the HaloDEX are reflective of the fair market value.

Q. How can I contact support?

A. We offer support through our Discord server at http://discord.haloplatform.tech/ or you can email [email protected].
