To the uninitiated, “cryptocurrency is any form of currency that exists digitally or virtually and uses cryptography to secure transactions.”
Cryptocurrencies do not have a central issuing or regulating authority, but instead use a decentralized system to record transactions and issue new units.
Out of this fluid situation arises Binance, which operates out of a system known as “blockchain” in which a record of transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network.
Blockchain Binance is a cryptocurrency exchange, it is currently the largest exchange in the world in terms of daily trading volume of cryptocurrencies.
It announced the launch of Project Shield, this newest layer of protection equipped to safeguard Binance users and, in the process, give them access to secure projects.
This safeguard takes into account that many people have lost money in the somewhat nascent world of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether.
Project Shield is Binance's third attempt to offer better security to those who use the crypto exchange trading platform.
It comes into play after Binance’s security research on how to beef up its services with respect to user-accessible security tools.
Project Shield, according to Binance, avails an ironclad audit of projects against strict security, legal and regulatory compliance standards and ongoing performance reviews.
Binance, which is Singapore-based and leads the world in crypto-asset exchange, says that this is the future of crypto currency exchange protection and will set the tone for further security of the same.
Project Shield arrives in a timely manner in view of the fact that industry leaders want greater controls and more security in the cryptocurrency market.
Binance was founded in 2017 and is registered in the Cayman Islands. Its founder is Changpeng Zhao, who is a software developer who had previously created high frequency trading software.
Binance was originally based in China, but later moved its headquarters out of China following the Chinese government's increasing regulation of cryptocurrency.
Binance is currently under investigation by both the united startes Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service on allegations of money laundering and tax offenses.
The UK's Financial Conduct Authority ordered Binance to stop all regulated activity in the United Kingdom in June 2021.
