Digitex: The new futures exchange model
On the other hand, we are used to no service is free. However, the team behind Digitex Futures Exchange wants to end this concept and be a free commission tool. The proposal is to eliminate commissions and replace them with the use of an Ethereum-based token: DGTX.
All transactions carried out within the platform are dominated by DGTX. What does this mean? That all users must have DGTX to make commission-free movements. This encourages the massive use of the token by traders, allowing the exchange to replace the commission charged by selling a small number of DGTX annually.
The decentralized government system allows users to decide on the issuance of new tokens.
The futures
Futures are contracts set for a specific date to buy something. Contracts of this type are of great importance in the world of commerce since they facilitate the stabilization of the prices of goods and cryptocurrencies.
An exchange without commissions is no longer just a dream
The DGTX token replaces the commission fee by dominating all transactions that occur on the platform. It is a protocol token compatible with ERC-223 in the blockchain of Ethereum. Instead of charging commissions, new tokens will be created.
The DGTX token acquires its value as it is necessary for commerce without commissions. All traders must have these tokens in order to open new businesses and markets. Also, is important to know that there will be no new tokens issuance until two years after the platform is launched since the costs will be supported with the income of the DGTX ICO.
During this period, users will be constantly acquiring DGTX tokens. It is expected that by 2021, the Digitex Futures Exchange will start creating new tokens to cover the following operating costs:
- Development of software.
- Servers.
- Equipment.
- Marketing.
All this will be submitted to vote and each user will have a voting power proportional to the number of tokens he has, that is 1 DGTX = 1 vote.
Key elements of the DGTX token
The owners of DGTX have the right to participate in the buy and sell of contracts on the price of Bitcoin against the US dollar. The same can happen with crypto-currencies such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. All this without having to pay commissions. In The Digitex Futures Exchange, any transaction involving cryptocurrencies is more profitable.
- "DGTX is the protocol token that is the native currency of the Digitex Futures Exchange.
- The tick value of every Digitex futures market is 1 DGTX token.
- Margin requirements on each Digitex futures market are payable in DGTX tokens because profits and losses are denominated in DGTX tokens.
- Account balances on the Digitex Futures Exchange, which are held by an independent smart contract, are denominated in DGTX tokens.
- It is the creation of new DGTX tokens after approximately 2 years that allows the exchange to operate without needing to charge transaction fees.
- New token issuance causes inflation but it also creates high demand for DGTX tokens by subsidizing commission-free futures markets that attract large numbers of traders who must buy DGTX tokens to participate.
- DGTX is an Ethereum based, ERC-223 token that will be freely tradable for Bitcoin, Ether and many other cryptocurrencies on the Digitex platform through integration with trustless, decentralized token trading protocols such as swap.tech, 0xproject.com and bancor.com.
- Traders can eliminate DGTX price risk from their trades with the DGTX Peg System"

Conclusion
As a trader, my main objective is to achieve the greatest profit possible by paying the minimum amount of commissions. Currently, this is complicated, especially to move coins that have as much demand as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Another problem is the security of the exchanges. Many users have lost their saved funds in exchanges that for many reasons stop to operate forever.
Digitex Futures Exchange wants to become the perfect tool for trading. By providing a decentralized exchange and eliminating the commissions completely, it means the perfect place to handle your cryptocurrencies.
