tZERO is Rounding into Form, After Being Awarded a Recent Patent

Patent Race

In a positive development for tZERO, they were just awarded the patent for a new means of ‘Crypto Integration’.

This patent described a process in which traditional trading systems are able to interface with developing cryptocurrency exchanges.  The following is an excerpt from the application, describing usage of the platform.

“The Crypto Integration Platform provides, among other things, an interface between legacy trading systems and crypto exchanges that trade digital transactional items. In doing so, the Crypto Integration Platform takes a protocol for trading and communication between broker-dealers, Alternative Trading Systems (“ATS”), and exchanges, and transforms the message so that the trade can be consummated using cryptographic techniques.”
