The new Poloniex asset framework
Last month, Circle, the multi-currency sending application that acquired Poloniex earlier this year, introduced a new virtual coin set of rules. Called Circle Asset Framework, it put attention on five topics: fundamentals, technology, people, business model, and market dynamics. Poloniex also examines forks, swaps and aidrops.
“We are more likely to support these [three] events if they are planned, documented and communicated well in advance. We look out for the opportunity to do a code and security review of the planned change.”
Last week, Poloniex launched an official mobile application for Android and iOS as part of Circle’s expansion plans.
