The launch of the new engine mapping applications will take place in several stages: the first changes will occur in early 2019, and the full implementation of the decision will be completed in the second quarter.
“Engine Bitstamp is very good by the standards of the industry of cryptocurrencies, but this initiative puts us on a par with the traditional exchanges, has behind him decades of experience”, – said the technical Director Bitstamp David the Property.
According to him, it is expected that with the implementation of the new engine speed matching of bids on Bitstamp will rise to 1250 times, and throughput – up to 400 times.
