But wait, the problem is you don’t know much about crypto, right? If that’s not you, you can skip this section. If that is you, well, here’s a quick breakdown 😃

1. A Blockchain is a type of diary or spreadsheet containing information about your transactions. Each transaction generates a hash. Each block refers to the previous block and together make the Blockchain. A Blockchain is effective as it’s spread over many computers, each of which has a copy of the Blockchain. Basically, a Blockchain is a diary that is almost impossible to forge.
2. The first major application of blockchain technology was Bitcoin which was released in 2009. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and the blockchain is the technology that underpins it. A cryptocurrency refers to a digital coin that runs on a blockchain. But you know this because you read this article, right?
3. Fun fact: Bitcoin and Ethereum broke their all-time highs in 2021 at $40k and $1.4k respectively!

We offer different unique order types that no other exchange in the country offers. We’re currently the only exchange in South Africa to have listed coins such as Bitcoin Vault, SUSHI, YFI & UNI.
