Exchanges

Exchanges are a important part of the ecosystem, since the leading exchange is uniswap at this moment and since crypto offers both a decentralized and secure as well as fast solution (obviously not on L1 ETH but either L2 or even Polkadot sidechains) We will be using those two as our basis for operation (uniswap using crypto).

The goal of a exchange is to allow a group of individuals to decide which materials to use for their systems, it is also a way to generate revenue and eliminate bottle necks!

So let imagine if we want to design a product and we have option to use copper or gold for our traces, we can go to the exchange and see which is cheaper, that will create a more efficient design and process.

Also individuals will be able to mine materials or design machines that mine materials, the revenue from these process can go to them and fund future missions or go to other places. Ultimately you would like a working rotating system, where everyone gets something and one persons gain is another's gain too!

Finally as a bottleneck eliminator, if you have to much of one resource and everyone likes to produce that resource, you want the revenue from that resource to go down. Similarly if you have a resource in high demand you want the revenue from that resource to go up and for individuals to produce that to eliminate that bottleneck of limits on a important resource all of this is done using the exchanges.

You would want to also have systems in place that facilitate fair play (will be discussed below) there will be many options and they will be implemented and can be changed as time goes on.

You would also want to discourage and penalize speculation. You don't want any speculation in this system, as that puts a unfair and unneeded strain on a fair system. If needed you could have a separate futures gambling market, but it is critical that the two markets are kept separate and that there are penalities for using the main market for speculation.
