    That’s the high-level design view of the exchange. Let me know if you have specific questions about any of the above!

    (1) the Microsoft ASP.Net membership provider==blast from the past
    (2) you left out the FinCen compliance stuff…

    David, thank you for the article. You have a broken link there: “See _this post_ for the detailed order matching algorithm”.

    What would you recommend to read to better understand the details of cryptocurrency exchanges? I would like to have enough knowledge to be able to architect and implement my own exchange. Are there any books (similar to your article) that would outline and describe all the typical modules that make an exchange?

    Thanks for the article, David. We get a few enquiries each day about how to set up a crypto exchange in Australia. Given that exchanges will be regulated here from April this year, it’s a hot topic. We’re dealing with AUSTRAC (the regulator) in a working group to help shape the rules that apply to this industry. We also oversaw the development of a Code of Conduct for digital currency exchanges in Australia, as offered by the Australian Digital Commerce Association which represents blockchain businesses in Australia. If it’s okay, we will link to your schematic diagrams in our next blog (and reference you) because, before taking a crypto exchange enquiry, we require the enquirer to provide us with detail before our first meeting, and we’d like to point to some of your diagrams as a good example. Thanks (PS. the first of our blog series is here: https://www.hnlaw.com.au/blog/so-you-re-planning-on-opening-a-cryptocurrency–e-g–bitcoi)

    Hi, thank you for your great article.
    I wonder, how a crypto exchange attaches itself to new blockchains.
    I believe, each blockchain developer should provide an exchange with a wallet.
    But is there any specification how to develop this exchange wallet so that exchange can use it smoothy on its trading platform?
