Announcing Polkaswap V1 Mainnet

Dear Partners and Sora lovers community!

After months of being heads down researching, developing and testing, in order not to disappoint your expectations, we’re proud to officially launched Polkaswap V1 Mainnet on March 1, 2021. In this article, we will be introducing its futures and how to connect your Wallet with Polkaswap.

Polkaswap - A DEX for the Interoperable Future

It can be seen that Polkaswap is a non custodial cross chain AMM DEX designed uniquely for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems and hosted on the SORA 2.0 network. So what will Polkaswap bring in this development? These are:

  • Cheapest gas fees and lower slippage - Because of the skyrocket of the gas fee, which is the barrent of Defi in Cryptocurrency, that is why when the early time building Polkaswap, we did this carefully before we got to the final product.
  • Not only cheapest but also Faster transaction process - Polkaswap built on Polkswap and it will be a parachain of Polkaswap, the structure of parachain are shards, so for each transaction across multiple nodes and allow for a faster and more-scalable network.
  • Unlimited trading pairs - There are many tokens in top 30 token with huge volume that still out of the Defi, to overcome this drawback, Polkaswap allows swap any crypto pairs but its chain have to link with blockchain Polkadot.
  • Reduce risks for the liquidity providers - Thanks to token incentives and liquidity leveraging structure using 2 tokens ($PSWAP and $XOR).
  • UI/UX - Polkaswap considers that users go through complicated transaction confirmation steps, incur a variety of fees and wait for transaction times every time absolutely make the user unable to be patient any longer. Therefore we will always prioritize the user experience first.

Alright! Let's try it out.
