JAXX wallet announces partnership with Changelly for in wallet crypto conversion. ShapeShift is still at JAXX! Both Steem currencies are back on there also it appears.

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Changelly is a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. It has announced partnership with Jaxx, who is one of the most widely used cryptocurrency wallets.

The Changelly API will be built directly into the application, meaning frictionless conversions between different cryptocurrencies available in the Jaxx wallet.


I last wrote about some of the related info here on June 13th a month ago, when I wrote the breaking news that Charlie Shrem, who has ties to Changelly -- had joined JAXX as a head of business development and community relations, and also that JAXX has huge plans to work with 70+ projects/currencies, etc. and it appears that move is starting in earnest.

Changelly was in their plans as you can see from my blog post and the quotes below :

It also appears they have re-activated both STEEM and SBD if you look on their page today: (both Steem currencies)


@changelly replied to me here in the reply section below and on Twitter after I went to bed and said:

Hey Barry, thanks for sharing that news! Just need to clarify that Changelly will be an option for Jaxx customers. Check rates, volume and choose the exchange provider you want. You are welcome to http://Changelly.com


From my blog post that day:


I pulled this info straight from Anthony's personal Decentral blog from 5/23/2017. I had not seen anyone reporting on this or talking about this and I feel this news was undervalued and underreported, given the gravity of this new, the names and projects involved and how many projects and people work with or use JAXX wallets etc.

TORONTO — May 22, 2017 — Decentral today announced that its flagship product, Jaxx , the leading user-controlled, multi-asset, multi-platform digital currency wallet and exchange, has secured over 70 new partners and integrations on the way to bolster its mission to become the ultimate command centre for all things blockchain.

About Jaxx

--

Jaxx:

A multi-asset, cross-platform wallet designed to store, manage, send, and receive over 13 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, DASH and Zcash. One of the key features of the wallet is that it allows users to easily switch between currencies by using a built-in exchange.

The built in exchanges in wallets CAN and have been known to be expensive, so learn about the fine print on this upfront, we all have seen posts on this type of thing from users, friends, tweets, etc.

JAXX wallet users can quicklyly convert one cryptocurrency right into another inside the Jaxx wallet.

Jaxx is planning to add more than 30 new coins this year, including:

Monero, XEM, Syscoin, Navcoin, Decred, Lisk, and several Ethereum-based tokens.

JAXX is clearly trying to become the mainstream one stop solution for managing crypto/blockchain assets.



Enhanced Exchange with Changelly

--

Changelly is an instant cryptocurrency exchange working in over 50 cryptocurrencies.

The vast majority of coins supported on Changelly are either already supported on Jaxx, or will be in the near future. The exchange provides instant, effortless conversion at the best possible rate on the market with a quite low fee of 0.5%.

Changelly’s API has been integrated directly into Jaxx’s user-friendly interface. One of the key advantages of Changelly is that it has almost no restrictions on the amount you can exchange at one time – users can specify up to 200 BTC to exchange and instantly convert it in just a few clicks.



Trading happens algorithmically on Poloniex or Bittrex -- Changelly’s exchange partners.


The long-term partnership between Changelly and Jaxx aims to help bring cryptocurrencies to a more mainstream audience.

Konstantin Gladych, CEO at Changelly:

“Having Changelly onboard, Jaxx will definitely increase exchange volume and get additional revenue”

Anthony Di Iorio, CEO of Jaxx, said:

“We’re are very excited to be adding new token and coin pairs with Changelly to enable trading within Jaxx. By allowing people to keep money off exchanges, we give people control of their financial lives”

Like Jaxx, Changelly’s larger company vision is to lower entry barriers for new users investing in cryptocurrency. For other projects looking to collaborate, Changelly provides an instant exchange API, customizable payment widgets and buttons to convert a wide range of coins without using the external website.

Changelly partners are Coinmarketcap, Payza, Coinpayments, Freewallet, Official NEM/XEM wallet, ShakePay virtual card, Uquid debit card and more integrations are ongoing.

Great post Barry, like normal mate!
I keep most of my coins on the ledger nano S but I do have a jaxx wallet for quick trades if something comes up. This is extremely bullish! Just take a look at the list of companies jumping on board.

^^UPVOTED^^...3% off Genesis mining "xbuJQz"

Wow, surprised to see Jaxx kick ShapeShift to the curb.

I am quite happy, Changely charges .5% and supports PIVX.

After Jaxx got jacked, I moved on.

smart move.

Hmmm im currently looking for a new wallet, thanks for sharing this info though

That post he mentioned a lot of really good websites, like purse.io. And I've used jaxx for a while it's nice for the most part. A few annoyances buying assets. But Changelly will be w nice change! And good news for Steem and SBD!

Hey Barry, thanks for sharing that news! Just need to clarify that Changelly will be an option for Jaxx customers. Check rates, volume and choose the exchange provider you want. You are welcome to http://Changelly.com

Thanks for clarifying. I sent this to Charlie and Anthony also. (Twitter)

Nice tnx for sharing

No problem.

Thanks for sharing !!!

No problem!

nice post, thank for sharing , good luck for you.

Interesting will have to see how this pans out. My two biggest concerns about these kind of things are: security, and fees.

To my knowledge Changelly still hasn't reactivated trades with Steem or SBD

It appears they have:

(both Steem currencies)

Excellent! Thanks for the update!

So changelly will have better conversion rates?

They claim to take no other fees if you look on their website, just 0.5% conversion fees.


Changelly is really nice and easy to use. But, even if they don't take a cut (I doubt that) you are trading at the market, meaning you are losing on the spread on both sides.

I may give it a try sometime.

LMK how it goes @feelsomoon !!

(:

Wallets cause me a lot of anxiety. Should I be getting a hardware wallet or desktop?

I really don't advise people on much --- there are too many factors, co factors, personal info and needs involved.

JAXX has had a cold storage Ledger type solution announced months ago, called the Ice Cube --- but no updates, nothing back, in a long time.

I remember we discussed Jaxx back when I was wallet shopping. I ended up with Exodus/Shapeshift because it was easier for me to understand and navigate. I haven't even looked at Jaxx since then. It looks like this will be a big step forward for them and their affiliates.

Thanks for the in-depth review of the process and connections!

JAXX has a few key cryptos that EXODUS does not. It is one of the reasons I wanted to make sure you knew.

If you are in the menu, you can click on wallets and a yuge drop down comes up LOL, of other ones you can 1-click enable.

I really have been waiting for news / their cold storage Ice Cube for months, I am surprised they have not posted or updated on that - I have checked their twitter feed a few times.

Ah, okay, gotcha! That would be handy. Exodus is adequate for my uses, but if I ever decide to get heavy into trading, that would probably be more functional.

Good on you looking at their future projects! Most of it is over my head and I really get lost trying to see how all the moving parts can fit together.

Just email me if you never need an opinion. I got you.

Will do. Oh, and funny typo ^^^

;~D

Oh hey, I see you have turned 65 Eddie, congrats on the new rep score. I am not sure when that happened, but is is a big one!!

#MilestonePost

lol

Thanks! It was about a month ago. I'm expecting to hover there for a while. I'm no where near as prolific as you are.

I am always careful when I call a girl 65.

LOL

Good thinking and you did fine!

Off to bed but if you want to see me with a Golden.... post is up now LOL

Rest well, happy dreams!

Very informative post. One question I have is this: let's say I have a Jaxx wallet with Bitcoin in it. I decide I want to use some of that Bitcoin to buy Stellar Lumens which can be exchanged on changelly. But if Stellar Lumens is not supported by Jaxx, then how does that work? Where can I store it?

I would surmise you would need to store those Lumens either on an exchange in their wallet for you there, or find a Lumens wallet and keep them there.
