IDAP – International Digital Asset Platform
ICO market is nowadays pretty similar to the Wild West during the gold rush period. It is possible to earn money very quickly, sometimes even good money, but you have to find a perfect spot, or in this case, a good project to invest. Common thing to the Wild West? No guaranties and almost no law. It is pretty easy to find bad cowboys which are going to promise you golden mountains to steal your last piece of bread. So in all this mess, if you want to find your gold nugget, you can trust just your own brain composites.
So did I and during my research I found the project in which I really put my faith: IDAP. Very likely you haven’t heard about them, project is made by great team members. Nevertheless, guys have an advantage, many other teams does not: already existing product made on a very perspective field. But these are not all pluses I found in this project. Below you can read the analysis and decide on your own, do you want to send some pennies to the pot.

By bringing together individuals and institutions in need of risk management or with an eye at profit via risk acceptance, our goal is to become the most diverse crypto derivatives marketplace for buyers and sellers.
The volatility of the current crypto market has made it imperative that the issue of risk management and hedging options for crypto assets be addressed without delay. Traders being free to take long and short positions and to bet in both the bull and bear run of the market, thus being able to diversify and optimise their portfolio performance, are all made possible by the introduction of a highly diverse and wide range of multiple crypto based derivatives products, including Futures, Spreads, Swaps, Options and Crypto Indices. Moreover, the trading of these above mentioned financial instruments deepens the liquidity of the market, in effect stabilising the price points of the underlying crypto assets. This is what the IDAP ecosystem for crypto derivatives market trading has exclusively been built to achieve.
Vision
Our vision is to transform the crypto economy. We endeavour to create a secure, robust, customer centric and full-featured crypto asset market exchange that enables investors to experience numerous diversified trading and investment opportunities under a single roof.
FEATURES OF IDAP PLATFORM

Ladder
For the assistance of intraday and professional traders, IDAP is introducing ladder trading to crypto market. Being one of the key features of this crypto trade & exchange platform, the IDAP Ladder will enable the traders to view price action, best bid and offer, last trades’ price and quantity, total traded volume at each price, high and low market points of the day, depth of market orders and various other critical data related to trading. The IDAP ladder will allow the traders to submit, modify and cancel orders with one click (Power of Point-and-Click Trading). The IDAP ladder will also help in visualizing the relative position of correlated products, neatly displaying this data in the user dashboard.
Matrix
The IDAP Matrix will serve as a crucial trading tool. With the IDAP Matrix, traders will be able to view market data for all contract expirations of an asset as well as market data for exchange-quoted spreads for the underlying asset, all in one window. Traders will have the ease to trade, place, modify and cancel orders directly through the IDAP Matrix.
Spreader
The IDAP Spreader will allow traders to create, manage and execute synthetic spreads based on futures contract available on the IDAP exchange. Synthetic spreads are Intermarket spreads, whose prices are not quoted on the exchange itself but have to be calculated based on the underlying contracts listed on the exchange. For example, a user can create synthetic spreads of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) through the exchange quoted spreads of BTC and ETH. This is another distinguishing feature that is unique to IDAP exchange ecosystem.
Simulator
Another key feature by IDAP to disrupt the crypto trading domain is the IDAP Simulator. The idea is to introduce a ‘Trading Simulator’ crafted especially for crypto trading. The only difference will be that the user will get a real-life experience of the crypto assets market without using ‘real funds.’ IDAP hopes to create a band of enthusiasts and amateur traders that can benefit from IDAP simulator and step into the real market, once they are ready.The IDAP Simulator is ideal for those who are new to futures trading and wish to familiarize themselves with market action and trading without risking real cryptocurrency. Currently, no other crypto exchange platform is offering such a feature to enable learning for trading beginners. IDAP Simulator will replicate real-time market data and trading conditions to help users understand the market dynamics, general market behavior and how to manage trade and associated risks. This is yet another USP of our platform for facilitating education and learning for traders, enabling them to gain virtual experience in the crypto asset trading.

Customer Support
Despite the boom in cryptocurrencies and enthusiasm amongst people over the past few years, crypto exchanges have been constantly reported to deliver a poor customer service. For instance, many of them fail to address general trade issues over the phone simply because there is a lack of manpower or knowledgeable employees. Moreover, during a technical malfunction, crypto exchanges suspend new account registration and fail to timely alert their customers. Eventually, they are unable to address all the inbound queries from the traders using their platform. There is a strong need for excellent customer support delivery. Therefore, IDAP has a strong focus on delivering a strong customer support 24/7. Some of the features of IDAP’s customer support plan are:Customer usability product design
