The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector has had a remarkable few years. Since the beginning of 2018, the industry has grown steadily. The introduction of automated market makers has been a major driver to the expansion of the DeFi business (AMMs).
AMMs are decentralized exchange (DEX) protocols that utilize a mathematical formula to price assets, as opposed to centralized crypto exchanges that utilize order books. They permit users to exchange tokens without the need for a counterparty. To keep the system functioning, AMMs often rely on liquidity providers (LPs). LPs, therefore, are encouraged to provide liquidity.
Having said that, EmiSwap’s arrival into the DEX arena is likely to shift the story. EmiSwap, spurred by the drawbacks of existing protocols, intends to shift liquidity from larger protocols to its platform by providing its users with more benefits. EmiSwap markets itself as the “first community-governed DEX with NFT mechanics.”
In 2020, Gregory Rybalchenko launched the Decentralized Developers’ Group, the primary aim of which is to create the first fully autonomous DAO and its first project — EmiSwap.
As an automated market maker exchange supplemented by an ESW governance token and yield-boosting NFT Magic Cards it is an open-source, decentralized platform, a fork of Uniswap V2. EmiSwap distributes 100% of trading fees to liquidity providers and ESW token holders who then vote on the ecosystem’s future growth. The EmiSwap protocol offers Ethereum gas fee refunds and an NFT-based loyalty program to pro-active users.
EmiSwap was released on March 31st. Since then, the protocol has welcomed over $550,000 in total locked value (TVL). It also received $1.3 million in startup financing for its ESW cryptocurrency during pre-seed and seed rounds. So far, the blockchain project’s future appears to be promising. Aside from its success in garnering investment and liquidity, the protocol has passed a security test conducted by Hacken, a major blockchain security firm.
The EmiDAO ecosystem is the world’s first autonomous DAO, allowing the community to be the project’s proprietors and make decisions about its future evolution. The EmiDAO alliance’s first project is the EmiSwap AMM DEX, and its partners – Alpha Sigma Capital investment fund, DigiFinex, Bitmart, Emirex, and HollaEx centralized exchanges, IDCM, MahaDAO and Everest KYC provider – take an active role in running and marketing the new DEX.
EmiSwap typically pays 0.25% of all exchange transactions to LPs, but rewards for the first 100 days following release will multiply. How so?
