How to exchange tokens via the decentralized exchange Kyber in your Zion Vault.
How to: Exchange tokens via Kyber.
An introduction to the Kyber network
In order to conveniently exchange your cryptocurrencies within the Zion Vault, we integrated the solutions provided by the Kyber network. They built liquidity pools of tokens to facilitate token swaps.
Different parties, including Kyber itself, maintain their own pools called reserves. Each reserve is a smart contract that is controlled by a reserve admin who deployed it. Reserves vary in supported tokens, liquidity and conversion prices. When a user wants to exchange one token for another, Kyber scans all reserves to pick the cheapest one.
Kyber is currently integrated with more than 50 different products and services across different categories such as wallets, financial products, merchant payments and more. (Source: Anthony Sessano )
