1.0 INTRODUCTION

The world of cryptocurrency has now expanded to the extent that the crypto market is jamparked with traders. In order to satisfy these traders, many crypto exchange has been created which serve as online platform whereby a digital asset can be exchanged for another or fiat currency. The increase in crypto market led to the mass adoption of these crypto exchanges but unfortunately, the users/traders are increasing everyday, meanwhile, there is stagnancy in the basic facilities, services and installations needed for the functioning and proper running of these exchanges in order to meet the needs of individual users and organisations. This imbalance between users and exchanges is causing a lot of issues in the crypto market (Problem of security, market liquidity, scalability etc.). In order to address these afformentioned problems, ONAM has created a new platform that will remidiate all the common issues affecting the crypto market even in the years to come.

2.0 WHAT IS [ONAM?](https://https://onam.io)

[ONAM](https://https://onam.io) is a platform created for cryptocurrency exchange. ONAM is unique and different from other exchanges because it surely comply with the rules and regulations proposed by SEC and other regulating bodies both now and in the future. In addition to this, ONAM's platform provides maximum security, scalability, full customer support and other additional features for both individuals and organisations making use of the exchange.

3.0 EXISTING PROBLEMS OF CRYPTO EXCHANGES

The increase in the number of people (traders) making use of existing crypto exchanges wi stagnancy and rigidity in crypto exchanges has caused a lot of problem in the crypto market.

3.1 Problem of Security Security of digital asset is one of the concerns of traders (both individual and organisation). Over the years, crypto exchanges have experienced a lot of security breaches and hacking which made them suffer great losses. In the coming years, the number of crypto exchange users (traders) will surely increase which will in turn increase the number of security attacks, hacking, theft and fraud.

3.2 Problem of Scalability Many cryptocurrency exchanges have reached their optimum capacity, meanwhile, traders and investors are increasing everyday. Due to the large amount of traders and investors in the crypto market, many exchanges are no more able to handle large amount of transaction at the same time. Registeration of new users is now taking a very long time before getting successful. Matching machines of exchanges get overloaded easily during peak trading times.

3.3 Lack of Special Customer Support Customer care and support is one of the important factors of any business organisation. Based on recent customer (users/traders) survey of existing exchanges, it was discovered that there is no exceptional treatment, care or support for customers. Custumers are waiting for weeks before receiving response to crucial issues that are suppose to be attended to on time(issues like loss of fund and account lockout).

3.4 Problem of Market liquidity In order for any crypto exchange to be successful, then there must be good market liquidity. Due to poor order books and large gaps between ask and bids, there has been constant price fluctuation within the crypto market. These makes manipulation very easy to the extent that many of the existing exchanges are taking advantage of the fluctuation and using illegal method to profit.

3.5 Problem of Regulatory Compliance In the already unstable market, gainning the trust of new users/traders (both individual and institutional investors) has became verry difficult. This results from their former experience which caused bad impression and wrong perception of the crypto industry and exchanges. Due to lack of regulation, during their ICO (Initial Coin Offering), most of the existing exchanges promise new users with multifold of their investment. At the end of the day, customers are dissapointed because exchanges fail to keep their promises.

3.7 Problem of Market Manipulation In the existing crypto exchanges, market manipulation is now happening on a verry large scale. Due to the increase in the number of new investors, manipulators are taking advantage of new customers through illegal actions like, spoofing, wash - trading, momentum ignition, pump and dump etc. These illicit actions will continue in the coming years if exchanges refuse to comply to regulations.
