I was able to catch up with John Lyotier (Founder/CEO) of RightMesh for a Blockchain Brief video interview. As you know, we normally try and keep videos to under 10 minutes however I was simply so fascinated by John’s story and the passion for the project he is working on, that we ran over. It’s absolutely worth a listen from start to finish - video and/or audio.

Exclusive Interview with RightMesh Founder/CEO John Lyotier (by Julian Jung)

Crypto has really exploded in the past couple years. Make no mistake: daily trading volume has grown from ~$60M in January 2015 to over ~$10B in March 2018. But even though the majority of crypto assets are built on top of decentralized architecture, the overwhelming majority of trades still take place on centralized entities. These centralized exchanges take full custody of assets to facilitate the process of exchanging assets between traders.
 
Given the enormous scale and frequency of hacks within centralized exchanges, people have taken interest in the potential of decentralized exchanges to address rampant security issues. The most significant problem that decentralized exchanges purport to solve is removing the "counter-party risk" of 3rd parties maintaining custodianship of a traders tokens. This may come at the cost of lower liquidity and trading capabilities.

One pivotal question: is it possible to build an exchange with the liquidity of a centralized exchange, but the security benefits of a decentralized exchanged?
 
I had the chance to catch up with Fabio, founder of City of Zion, to discuss his new project NEX (Neon Exchange). NEX aims to combine the performance of centralized exchanges with the trust and security properties of decentralized exchanges.
