Hi Riders!

As we are moving quickly through our IDO launch across multiple platforms (Vent, Occam, DAO Maker) with the aim of significantly growing Cardano’s exposure, we want to reach the widest possible audience! To help with this we have decided to create a single centralized snapshot of WingRiders as a project:

- Who We Are

- What We Have Done, and,

- Where Are We Going

As our IDO’s are selling and transacting across multiple blockchains many new Riders may be trying to familiarize themselves with the platform and the WRT token. We thought it may be easiest for them to find a snapshot about WingRiders in the Media and from well known market players.

What some key market players have said:

Animoca Brands

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: “As the crypto space advances, it is important to support projects that have a bold vision and that add value to the infrastructure that makes the open metaverse interoperable. WingRiders is developing a platform with the goal to support the growth of the Cardano ecosystem by providing a safe and secure channel for the swap of tokens on the Cardano chain.”

Spartan Capital

Kelvin Koh, Spartan Group’s co-founder and CIO, added the company sees WingRiders as one of the strongest early players in the Cardano DeFi ecosystem. “The team has a very strong technical background and we are excited to be supporting them in their vision to build out a core DeFi infrastructure, which is still primitive on Cardano.”

cFund (via Wave Financial)

Dave Roebuck, Wave Financial’s Principal commented that when seeing the potential of WingRiders, coupled with its deep technical expertise and strong team, “We felt that it was a great fit for cFund and would add to the furtherment of the Cardano DeFi ecosystem”.

We are looking forward to a bright and successful future not only for Wingriders but for Cardano as a whole,” he said.

Matrixport

Dan Yan, Founding Partner and COO of Matrixport, said. “WingRiders is building a robust and high-performing DEX that aims to address a white space in the Cardano ecosystem. We are excited to partner with a team that has deep roots in the underlying technologies and a strong commitment to the community. We can expect further innovation that will make meaningful contributions towards the growth of the wider Cardano ecosystem.”

LongHash

Emma Cui, CEO and Founding Partner of LongHash Ventures says, “At LongHash Ventures, we believe that decentralized exchanges represent a more open, efficient, and permissionless form of value exchange. When we met the team at Wingriders, we had full confidence that they’d be able to execute this Web 3 vision on Cardano.”

Bitrue

Bitrue CMO Adam O’Neill said: “We have listened to our community and they have asked us to keep working more and more in the Cardano space. We are already the first exchange to list Cardano native assets, and our investment in WingRiders is another move to support Cardano’s growing interest and future development. The WingRiders platform is powered by one of the largest names in the space, and will be a long term player in this industry. We are proud to partner with them.”

COTI

“It’s important to consider projects from a strategic view–for us at COTI, we aim to help mass adoption by reducing the friction of payments,” says Shahaf Bar-Geffen, Co-founder of COTI. “To do this well, we need to work with credible exchange platforms. By this metric, WingRiders is an excellent partner for us.”

In addition, Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano recently said he is looking forward to this project and added he was “pretty pleased” with Cardano’s progress as well.
