COMMISSIONS FREE FUTURES TRADING
Digitex ensures that traders are able to retain full value for trading activities that are carried out within its ecosystem. This is achieved with the use of a native token known as the Digitex token (DGTX).
For any activity to be carried out within the platform, users need to purchase DGTX. All profits and losses are listed in DGTX.
Initially, operations will be funded with funds raised at ICO, and no tokens will be created in the first two years.
Traders will need to submit proposals for the creation of new tokens, which will come into effect in the first month of 2021.
It is expected that the demand for new tokens will compensate for the inflation creating new tokens will cause.

TRUSTLESS FUTURES TRADING
By studying the market, Digitex understands the problems traders face, and also found out that decentralized exchanges and centralised exchanges both have pros and cons.
Digitex ensures that its traders can get the best value, by stripping away the cons of both, and merging the pros to have an efficient hybrid system.
The decentralized sector brings security and smart contracts, which makes the trustless process possible.
Decentralized channels are faced with problems such as privacy, high latency and scalability issues. Margin trading is also not possible on decentralized exchanges.

On the other hand, privacy is much better on centralized channels, and margin trading is possible. By having this two units communicate effectively, users are able to carry out transactions without any fees, and get the best service available.

DECENTRALIZED GOVERNANCE BY BLOCKCHAIN
Voting on token creation and how many tokens should be created to cover operational needs are all made possible by the blockchain. The blockchain also ensures that communication between both parts is seamlessly done, and pulling up of traders balances is done effectively.
Digitex ensures that accounts call up is done from the roots, to avoid situations when people want to withdraw more than they have in their accounts.

USE CASE
Emilio makes use of multiple exchanges in order to try to get the best value, but he is left unhappy by the results he achieves, because after he has made awesome returns, commissions take a huge chunk of his profits.
For some time now, usage of his accounts has stalled, because he feels it is not worth his time.
Reading about Digitex on twitter, he signs up and is able to make good money-without losing any part to commissions.

SUMMARY
Futures trading will receive a massive boost, thanks to Digitex because commission charged have been a massive headache for traders. The initial problem not being transaction fees, but the huge transactions fees to a large extent. By taking this away, Digitex ensures that users will get full value for their actions, and they will be in total control. No transaction fees equals more value gained. This will ensure that users will come in in their droves, and be much more willing to resume trading activities, ensuring that more funds are pumped into the sector.
Digitex will be looking to consolidate on their position in 2019 and 2020, seeing a lot of users will come on board, and solutions created need to be adequate enough to meet their needs. By the end of this period, I expect Digitex to have users numbering in the hundreds of thousands range. This will ensure that creation of new tokens in 2021 will not be felt at all.
By giving users power, Digitex ensures the sustainability of the platform, as this will mean that users will be eager to see the platform succeed, because they are the platform itself. It will also ensure that they platform will be able to evolve in any way necessary, and the platform will thrive.
