These are the basic tips for the establishment of the Bitcoin exchange platform. But the software of the exchange platform is most important for the working of the exchange all over the world.
Designing of Bitcoin Exchange Software:
Basically, the software of exchange consists of four components which make software to work. They are 1. Trade engines 2. User Interface 3. Wallet 4. Admin Panel these are the basic components of the exchange platform. Each component works on different areas to run the software of the exchange.
1. Trade engine is the first basic component and it is a core of the exchange. It works on transactions, calculating balances, order book of the exchange. It is impossible to run an exchange without trade engine so it is must and sure for the functioning of the exchange.
2. The second component is User Interface it makes traders view the website of the exchange. The user interface must be friendly and initiative which makes customers feel comfort and the user interface must be mobile friendly also. Because mobiles are using rapidly so it is better to maintain mobile-friendly user interface.
3. The Wallet is the third component and it carries altcoins of the exchange. Bitcoin splits coins and stores into two wallets and they are the cold and hot wallet. We can transfer coins through hot wallet to other without any permission. But cold wallet holds coins in offline no one can trace this coins and no one can steal coins. This type of wallets is the best for the exchange platform.
4. Admin panel is the fourth component and it will be maintained and controlled by the operator of the Exchange. Through admin panel, an operator can alter the liquidity of the exchange, setting trading fees, verifying KYC etc. can be controlled. All changes and specifications that are affixed to exchange will be drawn from this panel.
These are the four basic components for the manufacturing of own Bitcoin software exchange. But it is difficult to manufacture a new exchange software for the Bitcoin and it takes years. Sometimes we may lose grip in the security system and transactions etc. of the exchange so for all these reasons there was an alternative option is using free and open source scripts for your own Bitcoin exchange.

This type of scripts are not secured and not reliable. There will be more chances to hack your exchange system and the money or coins are also can be lost easily. The main defect of this scripts is they can easily hack able.
Support of the open source system is worse. If you get any interruption they do not try to fix your problems in time and they will never respond in time. Mostly support from them is less and developments are also fewer.
These are all the pros and cons of free and open Bitcoin exchange scripts. If the operator of the exchange can able to manage this risks they can use this free scripts easily. But there will chance of the threat to your exchange. To overcome all these problems another software is available in the market is known White Label Exchange software.
