Blockport Roadmap
Welcome to the Blockport roadmap page! Here you will find an overview of our platform’s key development stages, our mission, and the team behind the project. Blockport aims to create a hybrid decentralized exchange with a strong focus on user-friendliness, social trading features, and fostering a knowledge-sharing community.
Our mission is to bridge the enormous knowledge gap between the high-tech blockchain world and the majority of society, by providing a user-friendly portal where people can safely participate in this movement.
Blockport Project Overview
Blockport is a hybrid decentralized exchange designed to address the challenges of liquidity, security, transparency, usability, and education faced by beginner investors in cryptocurrencies. We strive to develop a comprehensive trading platform that effectively combines proven technological, social, and crypto-economic concepts. Blockport has also issued its own Ethereum (ERC20) based BPT token, which is used to pay for discounted trading fees and to access social trading features within the exchange environment.
