Davos, Switzerland, January 19th, 2024, Chainwire

CurioDAO, Albus Protocol, and JPool have come together today to forge an agreement. The core of this collaboration lies in the dual-chain integration facilitated by CurioDAO. By integrating with Neon EVM, the 3 projects effectively bridge the gap between the Ethereum and Solana blockchains, where CurioDAO launches Capital DEX, consolidating the three communities and attracting cross-chain liquidity. This strategic move will enable investors in CurioDAO tokenized assets to leverage the potential of the multichain ecosystems, creating new capital inflow.

Albus Protocol provides an on-chain KYC infrastructure necessary for tokenized RWA operations in a public blockchain, paving the way for mass adoption and new capital both in Neon EVM and Solana blockchain as a whole. Albus Protocol approaches this problem in a unique way, combining the SSI model, ZK cryptography and regulatory disclosure. CurioDAO provides additional liquidity leveraging its open source CurioDAO multichain protocol, stablecoins backed by real assets, and AMM within a single experience. JPool, named one of Solana’s Top 10 projects by TVL growth in 2023, will ensure tight integration with Solana’s staking ecosystem. Alongside CurioDao, JPool also intends to provide incentives for the liquidity providers.

“Experts such as Boston Consulting Group (BCG) predict that the asset tokenization industry could be worth as much as $16 trillion by 2030. This significant valuation underscores the huge opportunity that tokenization platforms present in the evolving landscape of decentralized finance. As a leading protocol, CurioDAO is well positioned to lead this transformational shift, by partnering with JPool and Albus Protocol, we are creating a bridge between two of the world’s most prominent blockchains today, with plans to become the global bridge between key players in the Web3 market as early as 2024.” — Rey Fernando Verbooden, Co-Founder of CurioDAO. 

“This significant capstone gives JPool access to new blockchains and an opportunity to tap into these chains’ liquidity, attracting new players and liquidity to better support Solana’s validators, the blockchain’s backbone and one of its most important assets.” — Sonny Wolfson, Co-Founder of JPool.

“One of the key initiatives for Albus in this collaboration is to provide on-chain KYC infrastructure for CurioDAO’s 3000+ users, preserving user privacy and adhering to data retention regulations. The tokenized traditional assets are among the few crypto asset categories already recognized by the traditional finance players. We believe that tokenization will be the way forward for mass adoption, opening the door into the blockchain space for new capital. This shift could potentially bring up to 10 trillion of TradFi liquidity into the blockchain space.” — Alexander Ray, Founder & CEO of Albus Protocol.

The alliance between CurioDAO, Albus Protocol, and JPool stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit driving innovation in the decentralized finance space.

2000% increase in TVL and superior technology are causing builders to choose Sui, most recently, top lending protocol, Solend.

Sui, a leading Layer 1 blockchain created by the team that led Meta’s Diem stablecoin project, has surged past $300M in Total Value Locked (TVL) continuing to climb the ranks of DefiLlama’s leaderboard. This sudden milestone underscores the ecosystem’s rapid ascent and further solidifies Sui’s position as a leader in the DeFi space, surpassing Bitcoin to make it the 13th-largest blockchain in terms of TVL. This achievement marks a more than 2000% increase in TVL since August. 

“$300 million in TVL is a significant milestone—one in a string of achievements the Sui ecosystem has reached only months since mainnet launch,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. “As market sentiment strengthens and focus turns to the fundamentals of the technology, it is extremely gratifying to see the work of the Sui community bear fruit and Sui’s ecosystem growth leading the industry forward.”

Besides reaching this important TVL result so soon after launching its mainnet, other recent milestones achieved by Sui include surpassing $100 million in bridged USDC, handling the most transactions in a single day by any blockchain, and achieving a demonstrated TPS of 297,000 transactions per second all without any disruption of the network or a spike in fees—clearly demonstrating the chain’s ability to scale.

The protocols contributing to Sui’s DeFi TVL are led by the Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Cetus with $62M locked in, followed by Navi Protocol ($60M, up 210% over the last 30 days), Scallop Lend ($54M), DeepBook ($33M), and FlowX Finance ($31M).

During the past few months, the Sui ecosystem has welcomed many new projects building on its blockchain. Solend—a leading lending protocol on Solana—just announced its intention to expand to Sui as its first alternative ecosystem with its upcoming Suilend, while Bluefin, a leading derivatives trading protocol that began on Arbitrum, recently shuttered its Arbitrum implementation to devote the entirety of its resources to leveraging the uniquely performant Sui platform.

Sui has also achieved some remarkable technology and infrastructure breakthroughs. After the September launch of zkLogin—which allows users to create and access Web3 wallets by simply using web2 social credentials like Google and FaceBook—the recent launch of zkSend represented a pioneering effort to make Web3 transactions as easy as sending an email.

Thanks to its object-centric model and powerful infrastructure, Sui’s unparalleled potential for mass adoption arises from its simplicity for developers, scalability, and rapid transaction processing for broader use cases.

DeFi, Crypto World, December 23rd, 2023, Chainwire

Where decentralized perpetual trades are more transparent and easy to use, in an ecosystem full of exciting features

Picture a world where the traditional rules of the game don’t bind cryptocurrency trading. This is where perpetual decentralized exchanges (PDEXs) come into play, a relatively new kid on the block in the grand scheme of DeFi. The market is constantly changing, and perpetual DEXs have been a game-changer, growing their market cap beyond $2 billion. But it’s not been a walk in the park.

Despite their innovative approach, these platforms have been nudging for space in a market heavily dominated by CEXs. It’s like David versus Goliath – with perpetual DEXs holding around 3% of the total trading volume, they’ve got their work cut out for them.

The challenge isn’t just about size; it’s about technology too. Building a sandcastle with a teaspoon is difficult – that’s how perpetual DEXs have sometimes felt with their on-chain order books facing off against the sleeker, more streamlined CEXs. But every David has his slingshot. For perpetual DEXs, it’s the untapped potential in a market craving innovation and decentralization.

There is where Swych PDEX struts onto the stage. In a world where GMX and dYdX have been making waves, Swych PDEX isn’t just following the trend; it’s aiming to set a new one. Think of it as a blend of ambition and technology, gearing up to ride the wave of how leveraged trading should be. It’s not just about joining the race; it’s about redefining it.

In the end, it’s about changing the game – and Swych is here to play.

Introducing Swych PDEX

Swych’s perpetual DEX focuses on risk management and innovative mechanics, tailored for both beginners and expert traders.

Clean Interface and User-Friendly

Swych PDEX is designed with simplicity at its core, ensuring a smooth and intuitive trading experience. This user-friendly approach lowers the barrier to entry for new traders and streamlines the process for experienced users, making the platform accessible to a broad audience.

Fully Integrated TradingView Chart

The platform features a fully integrated TradingView chart, offering comprehensive tools for market analysis. This customization enables traders to tailor their analytical approach, adapting the chart to fit their trading styles and preferences.

Tradable Assets

Swych PDEX will initially support BTC, ETH, and BNB, offering a diverse range of trading options. This variety caters to different investment strategies and preferences, with plans to expand the asset list further in the future.

Setting Take Profit and Stop Loss

Traders are allowed to set take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) orders both at the time of entering a trade and after the trade is already open. This flexibility in managing trades is important for effective risk management and strategy implementation.

Dynamic Collateral Management

Traders can add or remove collateral while trade is active, providing enhanced control over their trading positions and risk exposure.

Comprehensive Trading Information

Swych PDEX provides detailed information on positions, orders, and trade history. This transparent environment is to make informed decisions, review trading strategies, and track market performance accordingly.

Mobile Compatibility

Recognizing the need for trading on the go, Swych PDEX offers a mobile-friendly interface. This feature ensures that users can manage their trades and stay connected to the market anytime.

Paper Trading Platform

The paper trading feature with live pricing data is ideal for practice and strategy development, especially for new traders or simply those who wish to test the waters. It allows traders to simulate real-market trading without financial risk, making it an invaluable tool for learning and experimentation.

Order Types

Supporting both market and limit orders, the platform accommodates a variety of trading strategies. This flexibility allows traders to execute trades based on their market expectations and risk appetite.

Transparent PnL Reporting

The platform shows PnL as Net PnL, providing a clear and honest view of a trade’s outcome, after accounting for any fees. Traders can see the actual fees before opening a trade and see the fees while the trade is open. Gross PnL is shown as well.

Understanding Fees and Real Yield

Swych PDEX operates on a real yield fee system, designed to sustain the platform while rewarding its users. This system not only ensures the smooth operation of the exchange but also contributes to the generation of real yield for the investors. Here’s a breakdown of the fee structure and how it ties into the concept of real yield.

Exchange Fees Explained

The fee structure of Swych PDEX is carefully adjusted to balance the need for operational sustainability to reward its users. It’s a model that reflects the platform’s commitment to creating a mutually beneficial ecosystem for all its stakeholders.

• Position Fee: Swych PDEX charges a 0.1% fee for perpetual trading. This fee is applied to each trade.
• Liquidation Fee: A nominal charge of $5 is levied as a liquidation fee. This fee is incurred when a position is liquidated, which usually happens when the market moves against a leveraged position beyond a certain threshold.
• Dynamic Borrowing Fee: This fee is calculated as (assets borrowed) / (total assets in the pool) * 0.01%, with a cap of 0.01% per hour at full pool utilization. This fee structure is for managing the liquidity and risk associated with leveraged trading.

• Execution Fees: Swych PDEX maintains minimal execution fees, set between 0.0025 as the minimum and maximum. These fees are essential for executing trades on the platform and are kept minimal to encourage trading activity.

The Concept of Real Yield

The real yield on Swych PDEX refers to the actual earnings users receive from the exchange, derived from the various trading fees collected. Unlike hypothetical or projected returns, real yield represents tangible income generated from platform activities. This yield is a crucial aspect of Swych PDEX’s business value proposition, as users not only engage in trading activities but also become beneficiaries of the platform’s success through real yield distribution.

Revenue Distribution

Swych PDEX implements a strategic fee revenue distribution system, ensuring operational sustainability while rewarding its community and investors. This approach reflects a commitment to balance operational needs with the benefits provided to platform users. Here’s an overview of how the fee revenue is allocated:

Allocation of Collected Fees

• Treasury: 5% of the fees are allocated to the protocol’s treasury. This is for the ongoing maintenance and development of the platform, ensuring its smooth operation and continuous improvement.
• Lottery: 10% of the collected fees are directed towards the lottery mechanism. This feature adds an element of excitement and additional earning potential for the platform’s users.
• Investors: Swych PDEX allocates 35% of the fees to its stakeholders. This distribution underlines the platform’s commitment to providing real yield and returns to those who invest in it.
• Liquidity: 50% of the fees are allocated back into the exchange itself. By reinvesting this portion into the platform’s liquidity, Swych PDEX ensures robust market health and ongoing liquidity provision. This is important for maintaining efficient market operations and enhancing the platform’s overall performance between trading pairs.

Focused on Balanced Growth

This distribution model is a cornerstone of Swych PDEX’s strategy to create a sustainable and thriving ecosystem. It balances the need to cover operational costs and invest in future development to provide tangible benefits to its community and stakeholders. Note that the percentage weights above may change and move more rewards towards stakeholders. As the platform continues to grow, this approach positions Swych PDEX as a forward-thinking player in DeFi, prioritizing both platform stability and user rewards.

Trading Incentive Program

Swych PDEX will soon introduce another initiative, designed to reward traders based on their trading volume. This volume-based promotion is a feature that incentivizes active trading on the platform, providing tangible rewards for traders who engage frequently in market activities. Here’s a closer look at how this program works:

Mechanics of the Volume-Based Promotion

• Incentive Structure: For every $25,000 in trading volume, the trader is rewarded with $10 in USDT. This reward system is designed to encourage higher trading activity, offering a direct monetary benefit to active users.
• Calculation of Trading Volume: The trading volume is determined by the formula: volume = collateral x leverage. This means the volume is calculated based on the amount of collateral a trader uses, multiplied by the leverage applied to their trades.

Example

Let’s consider an example to understand how this works in a practical scenario:

• Scenario: Ia trader decides to open a position in ETH. They use $1,000 of collateral and apply a leverage of 10x.
• Volume Calculation: In this case, the trading volume would be $1,000 (collateral) x 10 (leverage) = $10,000.
• Incentive Accrual: Since the trader has generated $10,000 in volume, they are partway to reaching the $25,000 threshold for the reward. Once their cumulative trading volume reaches $25,000, they would receive $10 in USDT. There is no cap as to how many times a user can qualify for the $10 reward.

This program is especially appealing to high-frequency traders or those who trade with significant volumes, as it offers an additional financial perk on top of potential trading profits. It’s an innovative approach that not only fosters increased trading activity on the platform but also adds an extra layer of reward for Swych PDEX users.

Extra Features

Swych PDEX is not just resting on its current offerings but is actively expanding its features to enhance user engagement and provide additional value. The introduction of NFTs and a focus on educational resources are steps in this direction.

Swych Academy and Educational Material

• How-to Guides: Additionally, Swych PDEX provides accessible how-to guides, available here. These guides offer step-by-step instructions on various platform features and trading methodologies, making it easier for users to navigate and utilize the platform effectively.
• Swych Academy: Aimed at beginners and experts alike, this is risk management 101 and it’s accessible here. The academy is specifically appealing for users to learn and study about trading at their own pace. It covers essential topics such as understanding candlestick charts, risk management, chart patterns, general trading information, and advanced trading techniques. This broad spectrum of content ensures that all users, regardless of their experience level, can find relevant and helpful information. It’s designed to empower traders with knowledge, enhancing their decision-making skills and trading acumen. 

NFT Integration: A New Way of Earning

Shortly, Swych PDEX plans to integrate NFTs into its ecosystem. These NFTs will not just be digital collectables but designed to offer practical utility within the platform.

The unique aspect of these NFTs is their ability to provide additional avenues for earning real yields. This feature will potentially open new earning opportunities for users, leveraging the popularity and innovative aspects of NFTs to enhance the overall trading experience on the platform.

This upcoming feature and all educational resources underscore Swych PDEX’s commitment to continuous improvement and user empowerment. The integration of NFTs and the focus on comprehensive education testify to the platform’s dedication to providing a holistic and enriched trading experience.

SWYCH Token: The Keystone of the Ecosystem

Swych has and will have a wide range of products like liquidity pools, the perpetual exchange we mentioned above, staking, and yield farming solutions, and all of these will be powered by the Swych token, $SWYCH. The token acts as the cornerstone, intertwining various elements, and unique functionalities in the ecosystem to provide a comprehensive experience for the user.

Utilities

• Liquidity Pools: Users will benefit from liquidity pools on Swych, where they can deposit funds and earn from the trading fees generated, receiving LP tokens as a stake in the pool.
• Phase Two: The next phase of the Swych Token will focus on enabling users to generate real yield without additional fees, through staking pools.
• Real Yield Staking: This feature will offer users the opportunity to earn real yield based on their staking positions.
• NFTs: An opportunity that will offer unique and utility-focused NFTs, for additional rewards and engagement opportunities within the ecosystem.
• Lottery, Launchpad, and More: An enhanced lottery system, an accessible, permissionless launchpad, and a focus on listing diverse tokens, ensuring the safety and interest of investors.
• Incubator Project and Gamification: Looking further ahead, Swych will introduce an incubator program to support new projects and integrate gamification elements into its ecosystem.

The above elements are the roadmap, which users can find in more detail in the gitbook. The SWYCH token ties together these diverse elements, providing a unified and streamlined DeFi experience for every user within Swych’s ecosystem. Its integration across different functions and features ensures that the ecosystem remains interconnected, offering users multiple ways to engage, invest, and earn rewards within the platform.
