“Trades in Cardax will be performed by smart contracts. You could think of the Cardax decentralized exchange as a robot that’s always willing to quote you a price between two assets.” the report noted.

Ryan Morrison, the founder of Cardax, also commented: “What is unique about the Cardax token sale is that, unlike other crypto projects, VCs were kept out to prioritize individuals who have been part of the Cardax Community since the beginning.”
