How to choose the right white-label platform for your Crypto Exchange

Perhaps you have decided to open a cryptocurrency exchange. Perhaps it is part of your venture in blockchain?

Are you looking for a solution that suits your needs and fits within your budget?

The crypto exchange system is complex and requires high levels of security, performance, and complexity in operation. It is expensive and risky to develop a cryptocurrency exchange from scratch. You should consider an existing platform if you're considering your options.

Although white label crypto exchange’s  are not as popular as CMS, there are still many strong players who offer white label solutions.

How can you compare them? Which questions should you ask?

We have compiled a list of key topics based on our experience using multiple platforms.

  1. Sharing mode: Just like site hosting, do you get a separate instance of the platform?

  2. Pricing: Does it have a monthly or yearly price structure? Is it inclusive of any revenue sharing? What is the cost of initial installation?

  3. Hosting: Who is responsible for hosting the platform's website? Is it possible to host the platform on your servers?

  4. What kind of support/maintenance plans does the provider provide? What about SLA?

  5. What security features are there on the platform? Is the platform subject to penetration testing by a recognized authority? Is it allowed to conduct your own penetration testing
