How long does it take to build a cryptocurrency & digital asset exchange solution?

The time it takes to build a solution for a cryptocurrency exchange depends on the type of platform required and the level of customization needed. Using ready-made, white label cryptocurrency exchange software can save time compared to developing everything from scratch, as it has already been developed and tested and can be easily customized to meet specific needs. This allows a cryptocurrency exchange to be set up more quickly and allows the business owner to save a tremendous amount of time.

How much does it cost to deploy your white-label crypto exchange solution?

The cost of a HollaEx white-label cryptocurrency exchange platform is contingent on your specific requirements and customization preferences. For instance, a cloud-based exchange offers streamlined deployment features but involves recurring server costs, which can be detailed on 🔗HollaEx's cloud pricing page.

Additionally, there is a free but more technically involved deployment method known as the 🔗On-premise exchange (self-hosted).

Ultimately, opting for a white-label software significantly reduces costs and time to market, especially when compared to building everything from scratch.

Crypto wallets act as interfaces, consolidating public and private keys to streamline the management of cryptocurrency balances. Every crypto transaction is securely recorded on the blockchain. There are two primary wallet types: hot and cold. Cold wallets, often in the form of paper or hardware wallets, prioritize security by remaining offline, and are rendered difficult to access and use. On the other hand, hot wallets, typically mobile wallets tethered to the internet, not only offer additional features but also provide the convenience of regular and swift usage. While cold wallets are generally regarded as more secure, hot wallets present a wider array of features and user-friendly functionalities. The prevailing practice in the crypto platform domain is to blend both wallet methodologies for a comprehensive approach.
