August 10, 2018 — JOYSO has announced its latest trading reward campaign: the “Get Closer” order-placing competition and “HAPPINESS loyalty program” starting from Monday, August 13. As part of the campaign, participants can earn scores – which can then be converted into non-expiring “HAPPINESS points” – by placing orders on seven types of token traded on the JOYSO trading platform. The orders that are placed closest to the market price will receive higher scores, with a maximum bonus score order of up to 15 times.

“JOYSO hopes to attract more users by constantly launching reward programs. The launch of our HAPPINESS program is expected to enhance customer loyalty,” said Taka Kao, the Chief Operating Officer of JOYSO.

The game runs from 12pm on August 13 to 12pm on September 1 (Taiwan Time). Participants can earn scores by placing orders (both buy and sell orders) on seven type of token (HOT/TOMO/MKR/ZIL/
BAT/GTO/MAN) on the JOYSO platform. The score will be accumulated until the order is cancelled or matched. The higher the value of the order (in Ethereum value), the higher score a participant will get. Orders placed closest to the market price will also earn higher scores.

During the order placing contest period, JOYSO will offer 10,000 HAPPINESS points on a daily basis. HAPPINESS points, which have no expiry date, will be distributed to participants according to the accumulated score tabulated against the total score of all participants. These points can then be converted into tokens such as JOY, or prizes such as the CoolWallet S, a cryptocurrency mobile hardware wallet, by the end of August at the latest. During the “Get Closer” campaign, participants that place orders that are far from the market price will receive no score. Furthermore, between the different campaigns, the rate of conversion between HAPPINESS points and campaign scores varies, according to JOYSO.

The “Get Closer” and “HAPPINESS” campaigns follows July’s “Black Friday” campaign, in which participants were able to win prizes by depositing and trading on JOYSO.

Lee Hsiao Chun, who was among the winners in July’s campaign, said that she welcomes JOYSO’s reward campaigns. “JOYSO has outstanding technology and a good team, we hope JOYSO continue to build on its success, attracting more international users by launching marketing campaigns and making trading in the market more active.”

Nebulas Partners With JOYSO To Deploy Cutting-Edge Decentralized Exchange

Nebulas.io, the globe’s leading next generation public chain, and JOYSO, the world’s first hybrid decentralized exchange, have agreed to a strategic partnership (NAS-JOYSO) in order to launch a new exchange on Nebulas’ mainnet. Both projects will utilize their successful track records to create a smart contract exchange replete with a variety of features. Nebulas is the second partner for JOYSO after Ethereum.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Nebulas, a leading public blockchain platform, and JOYSO, the world’s first hybrid decentralized exchange, have agreed to strategically cooperate to deploy a new decentralized exchange (NAS-JOYSO). The new exchange will be launched on Nebulas’ mainnet.

Currently, Nebulas is the only project JOYSO has agreed to partner with besides Ethereum, which exemplifies the popularity Nebulas has already received.

NAS-JOYSO will be powered by smart contracts and offer a variety of features, including online settlements and brokerage services. Team members from both projects collaborated closely to successfully test the first version of NAS-JOYSO at the end of June and are currently set to publish on the mainnet of Nebulas.

NAS-JOYSO will offer the NRC-20 token to carry out transactions, which is similar to Ethereum’s ERC-20 token. NRC-20 tokens on Nebulas’ mainnet are able to be searched and upgraded.

Nebulas and JOYSO have enjoyed success in their respective fields and look forward to bringing their experiences and knowledge to the partnership. Nebulas was ranked 3rd in the third phase of CCID’s public blockchain evaluation, which was under the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Nebulas’ Incentive Program has attracted more than 2,300 developers in the last two months, who are also able to use JavaScript to write smart contracts. Many developers are drawn to Nebulas’ mainnet since the number of smart contracts and TPS exceeds that of Ethereum.

JOYSO offers off-chain matching and on-chain settlements for real-time orders, all with an emphasis on user experience, security, and efficiency. Those using the platform enjoy quick order placements and payments. Hybrid decentralized exchanges greatly reduce hacking risks and offer users cost-efficient trades.

Nebulas and JOYSO will work closely to release a decentralised exchange based on smart contracts, which will bring value to the blockchain industry by enhancing and optimizing liquidity. Both sides will deepen cooperation, strengthen relationships, and ultimately collaborate on other parts of the Nebulas ecosystem in the near future.

JOYSO Eyes Million Mobile Users as It Becomes Available on imToken2.0, the World’s Largest ETH Wallet

July 31, 2018 — JOYSO founder and CEO Tom Soong today announced JOYSO’s first cooperation with imToken, the world’s largest Ethereum digital asset wallet. JOYSO’s trading platform is now accessible on the imToken DApp (Decentralized application) browser for trading tokens. JOYSO expects its collaboration with imToken, the first with a mobile wallet, to help improve the user experience and attract more users.

Users can download imToken2.0 for free from its official website, the App Store or Google Play. Soong said that with smartphones being the most popular way to browse internet, most users are still required to use a desktop computer to access decentralized exchanges. With the imToken2.0 digital wallet, users can quickly access JOYSO’s trading platform on their smartphones, helping improve the user experience, he added.

Safe Trading Everywhere, Easy One-click Search
JOYSO CTO Will Hsieh said that JOYSO was selected by imToken not only because both teams have been focusing on developing a decentralized ecosystem in Ethereum, but also because imToken recognizes the strength of JOYSO’s security and user experience. “We hope users can trade tokens on JOYSO even when they are not sitting in front of their desktop computers,” Hsieh said.

After downloading the imToken2.0 app, users can establish their own digital identity as they create a new wallet. Under “Browser” at the bottom of the app, users can find JOYSO’s icon, then select “+” to add JOYSO, and then click on the icon to be automatically diverted to JOYSO’s exchange page. Users can use imToken, a tool to manage one’s private key, to trade tokens on JOYSO’s trading platform. “Both JOYSO and imToken expect this cooperation to improve the user experience and attract more smartphone users to explore decentralized trading,” said Soong.

Soong is a veteran Bitcoin trader in Taiwan and the world’s first 28nm Bitcoin mining chip developer. With hacking on the rise at crypto exchanges in recent years, in May 2018, Soong launched JOYSO, the world’s first “hybrid decentralized exchange”, which reduces the risk of being hacked and provides users a cost-efficient way to trade. JOYSO has no control over users’ tokens, unlike centralized exchanges which handle all users’ tokens and trades and put user’s tokens at risks if exchanges are hacked or have server problems.

Singapore-based imToken was developed by a Chinese startup called ConsensLabs. Founded in Hangzhou in 2016, it has become the world’s largest Ethereum digital wallet, with currently over 5 million active users worldwide and access to 30,000 tokens.

JOYSO and CoolBitX Partner to Deliver the Most Secure Mobile Cryptocurrency Exchange

14 June 2018 – Taipei, Taiwan — JOYSO announced today that it has partnered with hardware wallet developer CoolBitX to deliver a mobile and highly secure decentralized exchange. This partnership strategically combines JOYSO’s hybrid decentralized exchange (HEX) with CoolBitX’s cold storage hardware wallet, the CoolWallet S, to help customers securely exchange cryptocurrencies on mobile smartphones.

Founded by Tom Soong, JOYSO is a hybrid decentralized exchange platform launched in May 2018.

The CoolWallet S is a mobile hardware wallet for iPhones and Android smartphones that secures numerous cryptocurrencies and ERC20 tokens (including the JOYSO token, JOY).

The decentralized structure of JOYSO and the distributed nature of the CoolWallet S’ mobile offline storage capabilities will enable users to have complete custody over their funds while reducing trading risks wherever they go.

A platform offering safe, convenient, and quick trades using decentralized applications (dApps) is a necessity for the development of a mature blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrency community. The JOYSO-CoolBitX partnership is thus the first integration to provide such an offering.
