In a , CEO of , Changpeng Zhao, said that there will be a listing fee for new coins on the company’s DEX – Chain.
In fact, Zhao explained that he has deliberately made the fee higher in order to “reduce the number of spam or scam projects.” He estimates the fee will be close to $100K. He also said that the number will be adjustable over time.
Previously, Zhao has also stated that poor quality projects or ‘shitcoins.’ It remains to be seen what kind of quality control is set in place, though, as the DEX is intended to
Not So Decentralized At First
Zhao said that, initially, the number of network consensus validators on the DEX will be small. For example, the testnet will start with 11 validator nodes.
He also said that as the exchange goes live, they’ll be looking for “guys who can run very fast validators” and that the nodes will be selected through their close partners.
However, the CEO also noted that will have a lot of influence over the network, at least in the beginning, and thus the chain will be ‘more centralized’ compared to other networks.
