The cryptocurrency exchange brokerage #Panda Exchange announced the end of its beta version, taking the project to a new stage of expansion within the business with the launch of the definitive version of its platform in Colombia and Venezuela.
Recall that this house went into operations at the beginning of December last year, and its official launch took place within the framework of LaBitConf 2017, held in Bogotá. The platform allows exchanges with Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin Gold (BTG) and Litecoin (LTC), and will soon work with Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Dash (DASH) and Zencash (ZEN). .
CriptoNoticias had the opportunity to talk with the project's CEO, Arley Lozano (VaKaNo), who valued this new stage of the company as very positive, ensuring that after this success there is a lot of effort and work. Panda is headed by two citizens of Venezuela and Colombia, and one from the Dominican Republic. According to its CEO, the Panda Group project, which is responsible for the development of the exchange, has been walking for 22 months, and kept the beta version for a quarter to make adjustments.
VaKaNo explained that the system was "created and designed" 100% by the team, and during the time it was in beta they made "changes almost 75% of the platform to adapt it to what the users told us". He added that Panda already has 1,550 pre-registered users, who will receive Zencash via airdrop (gift), thanks to an alliance created between Panda and the team of this token. This strategy of adding new currencies and requesting airdrops seeks to help users of the platform, "especially" to Venezuelans.
We want the currencies or token that want to be part of Panda to give an airdrop for the users of the platform, because it is a way to help those who are registered and especially the Venezuelan brothers in an indirect way, since, as we know , 1 dollar can make a difference in Venezuela.

Lozano also affirmed that they are fulfilling the Panda Road Map in a good way, since they have planned to adopt new implementations and currencies weekly, such as Dash, Litecoin or Zencash. "Many more will come in the coming weeks and weekly we want to give some other solution to users," he said.
According to him, the objective of the platform is to provide a more agile exchange, thinking about decentralized security and storage of data to reduce errors. In addition, he explained that they will operate as a franchise, in order to have a care office in each country where they work and offer operations with fiat currencies, just as they will do in #Venezuela and #Colombia.
At the moment Panda opens its doors in Venezuela and Colombia, where, in 20 days that we have the bank accounts, people will be able to add fiat directly to our company's accounts given the new regulations in Venezuela, since it has been facilitating A bit the issue of opening accounts in banks. We hope to have accounts in almost all banks to lower the costs of deposits and withdrawals. In the Colombian part we come with a bigger surprise and we are negotiating with certain banks the opening of convenient payment channels.

"We plan to compete with good service and human warmth, always thinking that the greatest asset is the customers. I am personally tired of waiting for the response of an exchange to 2 weeks, I want to give customers 24/7 solutions and in our language, "he said.
Panda joins other cryptocurrency exchanges especially aimed at Latin America, such as SurBTC (now Buda) and CryptoMKT, revealing how much the #blockchain #ecosystem is growing in this region of the #world.
