Review on Ethfinex by LUIS RIVERO R
The hybrid exchange.
This exchange is known as a decentralization hybrid, usually based on transactions on the etherium platform. Although its volume is not so high due to the limitations it has.
-It has a voting method thinking about the community although to exercise a greater vote it is necessary to have more tokens of this platform.
-Within its decentralized mechanisms are the possibility of operating without depositing assets in Ethfinex. Using DEX-style contracts.
As a subsidiary of Bitfinex, it has the support and experience of this exchange.
-The storage of funds is done cold, without online access, only a small amount is maintained in the ecosystem for the transactions that are generated.
-Like other exchanges, most security will depend on the user and the methods he uses to protect his account. Authentication of two factors, generate a good password without being equal to those used in other sites among others, in addition to offering monitoring systems of the different behaviors on the platforms that can lead to a security problem.
They have a system of shared governance, however, this is not true decentralization, it is only a proposal of a method of sharing certain attributions with users, although it is interesting to see how various user requests can be raised and taken into account.
One of the most promising features is that in the future they plan an interconnection of various chains using decentralized protocols that connect with it and be able to include more assets.

Well, despite its affiliate in bitfinex, the fact that it is no longer available can be detrimental to the Exchange since it could generate some controversy
