Starting today SushiSwap (SUSHI) is available for custody, purchase and sale on Young Platform Pro.

What is SushiSwap?

SushiSwap is a Decentralised Exchange (DEX) governed by the community. If you provide liquidity to SushiSwap and you contribute to the protocol, you will receive part of the transaction fees paid by DEX users.

How does the token work?

SUSHI is an ERC20 token and it’s the SushiSwap governance token.
Not only that, by staking SUSHI you can receive periodic rewards.

Why has Young decided to list it?

The project is strongly focused on the community and it is the third DEX for total value deposited. Moreover, SushiSwap’s roadmap for 2021 includes never-seen-before features in DeFi.

As of today, Maker (MKR) is available for purchase and sale on Young Platform Pro.

What is Maker (MKR)?

Maker (MKR) is the ERC-20 token of MakerDAO, a decentralised autonomous organisation providing decentralised financial services. MakerDAO is the same organisation that launched DAI, a popular decentralised stablecoin.

What is the difference between MKR and DAI?

If DAI is MakerDAO’s stablecoin, MKR is MakerDAO’s governance token.
This means that the price of DAI is pegged to the price of the dollar in a 1:1 ratio.
The price of MKR fluctuates according to market supply and demand.

Why has Young decided to list it?

MakerDAO is one of the earliest promising projects in the DeFi world, boasting two complementary coins, MKR and DAI, both among the top 50 in the market.
Not only that, its MKR governance token has grown by +395% in the last 6 months, peaking at $3,041 in February 2021.

Which pairs are available?

On Young Platform Pro you can trade MKR/USDT

What is Yearn Finance (YFI)?

Yearn finance is an aggregator service that allows you to optimise yield farming through various DeFi lending platforms. Yield farming is a set of different strategies that, besides trading, allow you to generate rewards from holding cryptocurrencies. YFI token holders also have the right to participate in the governance of the project.

How does it work?

The peculiarity of the Yearn Finance protocol is that the reward you receive is automatically optimised. Deposited funds are moved to the best protocol, so that the rewards you receive are maximised.

Why has Young decided to list it?

In the growing success of DeFi, the Yearn Finance project ranks as one of the first and most successful cases of DeFi Yield farming.
At launch, the price of the YFI cryptocurrency was around $700. Today, eight months later, it has a value of $33,700, registering an ATH at $51,000 on 12th February.

What are the available pairs?

You can find YFI on Young Platform in these pairs:

•         YFI-EUR
•         YFI-BTC

What is AAVE?

Aave is a decentralised financial protocol that allows people to lend and borrow crypto. Lenders earn interest by depositing their cryptocurrencies, while borrowers have new liquidity that they can use as long as they put their cryptocurrencies up as collateral.

AAVE has several strengths that make it unique in the DeFi landscape. The project allows people to borrow and lend around 20 different cryptocurrencies, giving users much more choice. It created the first uncollateralised loans, known as “flash loans”, which allow professionals and developers to take advantage of certain market situations.

Also, unlike other lending projects, with Aave you can alternate between stable and variable interest rates. Variable rates can come in handy if the cryptocurrency borrower thinks prices will fall in the near future.

 

Available Pairs

You can find AAVE on Young Platform and Young Platform Pro with these pairs:

• AAVE-BTC
• AAVE-EUR

Young Platform will distribute the Spark token to all Ripple holders in proportion to their XRP balance

Young will be supporting Flare Network’s Spark (FLR) token airdrop, so all Ripple (XRP) holders on Young Platform and Young Platform Pro exchanges will be able to claim the Spark token.

Spark Token Distribution

Young will distribute the Spark token (FLR) to all Ripple (XRP) holders on the Young Platform and Young Platform Pro Exchanges based on the snapshot of their Ripple XRP balances on 12 December 2020, 00:00 UTC (approximate time).

Deposit or buy Ripple (XRP) with your Young account before this date, to be eligible for the airdrop. Users will receive Spark tokens in proportion to their XRP balance.

The amount of distributed Spark tokens for each user holding XRP will be calculated based on the following formula:

User A = Amount of XRP held by User A at the time of snapshot / Total XRP held by Young at the time of snapshot * Total SPARK received by Young for the airdrop

Please note:

• Ripple (XRP) deposits, withdrawals and trading will be suspended starting from 11/12/2020 09:00 PM (CET).
• After this time, Ripple (XRP) that has not been deposited will not be included in the distribution calculation.
• The time of the snapshot and amount of distributed tokens may be adjusted according to changes on the Flare network.
• The distribution for Spark tokens is currently set for the first half of 2021, and this is subject to change at Flare’s discretion.
• Supporting this airdrop does not guarantee the listing of Spark on Young Platform and Young Platform Pro. The default position we have is no listing.

Thanks for your support!

Discover how Young Platform will act to reduce trading risks during the hard fork on 15 November 2020

Around 12:00 PM UTC on 15 November 2020 the Bitcoin Cash blockchain will be subjected to a hard fork.

This fork was a planned update, although it is contested by the implementation of the BCHA (Bitcoin Cash ABC) node which proposes a developer fee of 8% on the reward per block of miners. BCHN (Bitcoin Cash Node) will proceed with the proposed routine upgrade and will not support the block reward fee.

We do not believe this fork to be similar to the BCH 2017 fork or the BSV 2018 fork. This fork, on the contrary, does not seem to have the support needed to survive. At the time of writing this release, BCHN (Bitcoin Cash Node) – which will continue the current BCH consensus – has over 75% support from the miners.
By contrast, BCHA (Bitcoin Cash ABC), the instigator of the fork, has less than 1% support from the miners and about 24% is undecided so far.

We believe that most undecided miners will only follow the existing chain (BCHN) and that there is really no chance for BCHA to have a productive life or value. We hope that the BCHA team decides to call off the potential fork before it happens, but even if they do not, we see a very low chance of a surviving chain.

Young’s approach to fork management

To reduce trading risks caused by price volatility and to maintain the security of users’ funds during the hard fork, Young will manage the hard fork as follows:

• All transactions for BCH on Young Platform and Young Platform Pro will be suspended from 9pm on 14 November 2020. Withdrawal, deposit, purchase and sale operations involving Bitcoin Cash are therefore on hold.
• Should you wish to make a deposit and withdrawal operation at this time, we ask you to allow sufficient time for full processing of the transactions before the above time.
•  Transactions will be resumed on Young Platform and Young Platform Pro from 12 am (noon) on Monday 16 November 2020. Any updates will be communicated via e-mail and to the Discord server.

Discover COMP on Young Platform Pro, the altcoin in loan pools

Young is pleased to announce the listing of Compound (COMP), one of the emerging DeFi protocols.

What’s Compound?

Compound is a protocol based on the Ethereum blockchain that allows you to grant and subscribe loans without the need for a financial intermediary.

How do loans on Compound work?

Users can deposit their cryptocurrency in loan pools to allow access to borrowers. Once they have made the deposit they receive a reward in cToken. For example, if they deposit ETH they will receive cETH, if they deposit DAI they receive cDAI and so on.

What is COMP?

To encourage this lending activity, Compound uses another cryptocurrency native to the protocol known as COMP.

Each time users interact with the Compound market – i.e. take out, give or repay a loan – they receive a reward in COMP.

Hello to STORJ and BAT the new altcoin on Young Platform Pro

Two innovative cryptocurrencies are now available on Young Platform Pro: Storj (STORJ), the token of a decentralised storage cloud, and Basic Attention Token (BAT), which has the purpose to protect copyrights and reward content creators.

What is Storj?

Storj is a decentralised cloud storage platform that allows any computer to rent its excess storage space to those who need it. 

STORJ is the token coordinating the network stakeholders and is the main means of payment within the platform.

Users who need storage space, in fact, can buy it in STORJ and, in turn, suppliers, receive STORJ as a reward for the excess space they have.

To do this, Storj launched Tardigrade, a decentralised cloud storage solution where users can securely store their files.

What is BAT?

Basic Attention Token is a utility token built on the Ethereum blockchain, designed to make digital advertising fairer and more transparent. 

The token is used to correctly assess the user’s attention within the platform, to pay publishers for their advertising space and even to reward users for watching or clicking on their ads.

To fulfil its mission, the BAT ecosystem relies on Brave, an open-source privacy-oriented browser designed to block trackers and malware. Brave leverages blockchain technology to anonymously and securely track user interests and reward publishers accordingly.

Discover the DeFi tokens on Young Platform Pro: decentralised finance is an alternative

Young is always happy to bring its users new mission-oriented projects, that’s why from today many DeFi tokens will be supported on Young Platform Pro. Trading and custody are now available for these seven tokens, which are completely new to our ecosystem: Uniswap (UNI), Curve (CRV), Synthetix (SNX), Chainlink (LINK), Augur (REP), Gnosis (GNO) and Kyber (KNC).

We are firmly convinced that the greatest power of the blockchain lies in its decentralised nature. That is why DeFi, i.e. Decentralised Finance has all the resources to institutionalise the world of cryptocurrency, representing an increasingly powerful alternative to traditional banking services.

Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap is a decentralised exchange, known for facilitating automated DeFi token trading. UNI is the governance token of the network and is an ERC-20 token. As a governance token, it is used to make decisions and authorise transactions on the Uniswap network.

Curve (CRV)

Curve is a decentralised exchange for stablecoins, governed by a DAO, i.e. a decentralised organisation. The native token of the Curve ecosystem is the Curve DAO token (CRV). Launched in January 2020, Curve experienced significant growth in the second half of 2020.

Synthetix  (SNX)

Synthetix is an Ethereum blockchain-based protocol that allows users to bet on various external assets by trading and issuing synthetic assets in a process known as “collateralisation”.
Each of these assets is an ERC-20 token that reflects the price of external assets such as, for example, the dollar price. These assets are created by staking the network token, the Synthetix Network Token (SNX).

Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink is a decentralised network that connects smart contracts with the outside world through “oracles”, external data providers. LINK, the token operating on the network based on the Ethereum blockchain, is the top DeFi token by market capitalisation. Chainlink is also available on Young Platform.

Augur (REP)

Augur is a betting platform based on the Ethereum blockchain which, through the use of its own token, the REP, allows you to create and participate in prediction markets. If the prediction made is correct you win REP, otherwise, you lose them.

Gnosis (GNO)

Gnosis is a prediction market used to gather forecasts from experts and people around the world to help anticipate future events. Gnosis is based on two tokens: OWL and GNO. GNO is an ERC-20 token that is obtained as a reward for a correct prediction.

Kyber Network (KNC)

Kyber is the most widely used liquidity protocol in the DeFi world that can be integrated into any application to allow the exchange of tokens without the need for an intermediary. Kyber Network Crystals (KNC) is the ERC-20 utility token of the network. KNC owners can stake their tokens on KyberDAO and vote on various proposals concerning the development and operation of the network and receive a reward in ETH.
