THE DEEP DIVE — By Monroe 🦇

1/ What is DEXHUNTER ?

Dexhunter It is a DEX aggregator that aims to bring the best value for your tokens by optimized transaction splitting through various DEX. Their goal is to process 50% + of swaps on the Cardano blockchain. As we speak they captured 45% of global trades the last 7 days (22.8 M USD ) — DefiLlama.

Just recently added @TeddySwap, AXO, Genius yield and tanglewsap to be added.

2/ The Tokenomics

70% was allocated to presale — they raised 8.83 million ADA and refunded around 3.8M ADA. At the moment the TVL on @MinswapDEX is 1.75M ADA and 1.79M ADA on @SpectrumLabs_ . $HUNT staking will be released in Q1 — The team is working on the legal side.

3 / Protocol revenue sharing / Token buy back

Starting february 1st, 50% of protocol fees will be used for $HUNT token buy back . This is a very innovative approach that reminds me of the stakeholder / dividend model. Rewarding holders. To put that in perspective - This week cardano’s on chain trading volume was 50.76M USD and Dexhunter captured 45% of transactions. I’m excited to see the kind of volume they will get in the bull market.

4/ Platform — Main features

Aggregation, optimization, splitting

Cross-chain swaps partnership and integration (ETA this week) USDC — USDT — BTC — ETH — ADA and more.

Market alerts

Unusual market activity, whale transactions, high volumes, and price shifts all in one place.

Custom nodes

Users have access to their custom nodes, that means faster trades, execution. Currently 190 holders have more than 100k $hunt and access to level 10 node.

Leverage trading implementation — Short /Long positions— TBA

5/ Secondary features

Stop-Loss/Take-Profit/ Limit orders

DCA automated contract in BETA (I had the chance to test it and it’s really helpful)

Basket of token

Token order book

6/ $HUNT Utility

Community rewarded by token buyback (50 % of protocol fees allocated to $HUNT buyback). At this stage this represnts about 80k-100k $ADA of $HUNT buy back per month with the current volume. This will also reuce circulate supply, making $HUNT a bit more scarce every month.

Potentially staking (Q1 2024) — Depends on legal side

Swap discounts

Access to premium locked features — TBA

Dapp Governance ( Rest of the fees to be used for CEX listing, treasury or other proposals)

9/ Partnership ALPHA

10/ Dexhunter Team

@onewisemelon

@ZhaataC

@TheRealPlanADA

Wizardtm and Deelate.

They are becoming a powerhouse. Dropping a new feature every week.

10/ @DexHunterIO — NFT Market

They will also be able to attract a wide #NFT user base working on premium features such as NFT sniping (example : https://jngl.io) or other useful NFT tools which will incentivise to hold $HUNT. @jpgstoreNFT already implemented Dexhunter swaps on their marketplace.

11/ $HUNT — Price technical analysis (november 29th)

Bullish signal : Low on in RSI. MACD cross on daily chart

12/ Conclusion

I’m extremely impressed with the quality and number of features released since launch. The Team has been constantly adapting and delivering which make me believe they will play a key role in the Cardano ecosystem and excel beyond their initial goals.

In my opinion, with a current market capitalisation of 50,383,764 ₳ Dexhunter has a bright future. With Cross-Chain swaps around the corners and token buy back coming in Q1 (protocol fees sharing), expect the buying pressure getting stronger !

DexHunter

is probably one of the most undervalued projects on Cardano.

Dubious speculation — prediction (NFA — my owns views — november 29th)

Dexhunter will be :

Number 1 Dapp in terms of daily users (I think they already are) — 50% + of all trade volume on cardano.

A top 10 Dapp in terms of Market cap (short /mid term) — 50M ADA Market Cap (that would be around 0.64 ada per $hunt) — Update — Just reached top 10 today. I think we’re going for top 3

Next bull cycle : 300M to 700M ADA Market cap NFA DYOR — my own views
