<p>The Waves Platform website has been given a full revamp as it releases new services and positions to become the foremost custom tokens blockchain application.</p>
<h4>Tokens 101</h4>
<p>Waves was designed with mass adoption in mind and focuses on custom token operations. ‘We believe that these very basic facilities — creating, distributing, transferring and trading simple tokens — will be the forefront of blockchain adoption,’ explains CEO Sasha Ivanov. ‘This is the functionality that businesses are exploring now and want to implement in their applications. We want to make it as easy as possible for businesses to deploy their custom tokens, and for their customers to use them.’The new website explains exactly what a blockchain token is — knowledge that cannot be assumed for newcomers seeking to explore the benefits of distributed ledger technology for their businesses — before offering a straightforward tutorial for creating tokens on Waves. ‘Waves is “Blockchain for the People”, and we mean to makes these powerful tokens facilities available to everyone, without a significant technical overhead,’ continues Ivanov.</p>
<h4>Key projects</h4>
<p>As well as introductions and guides, the site lists some of Waves’ flagship projects — applications that have crowdfunded on the platform and are already up and running using Waves technology. Each are represented by a token on the Waves network. These include WBTC — a bitcoin token that allows Waves users to store, send and receive bitcoin on the Waves platform via the secure Bitcoin Gateway — and the Waves Community Token (WCT), which allows holders to participate in collective due diligence for new projects and to benefit from regular airdrops. Third-party projects such as Darcrus and Incent are also included, offering some sense of the growing ecosystem building up around the core Waves technology and infrastructure.</p>
<h4>Optimised for convenience</h4>
<p>Lastly, the site has been fully optimised to give a faster, smoother experience, and to ensure it is better suited for mobile browsing. ‘Our attention is always on users. During its early period of development blockchain technology was difficult to use. Everything was very technical and hard for users — cryptocurrency clients, blockchain downloads, complicated and unreliable exchanges and other services, and even finding the information you need to get up and running. Waves aims to change that for every element of blockchain adoption, from our website right through to the wallet itself.’</p>
