AshSwap

AshSwap Aggregator v2

AshSwap Aggregator v2 was the star of last month. From streamlined EGLD wrap/unwrap transactions to updated SDK, here are the changes going on in our system: https://medium.com/@ashswap/ashswap-aggregator-v2-sdk-updates-5e7b33988dad

And just like Taylor Swift, we’ve got a long list of integrations across MultiversX. Within the last month, AshSwap Aggregator has been integrated into the following protocols:

  • XOXNO: The top NFT marketplace that supports any ESDT tokens.
  • QuantumX Network: The dApp-building platform that combines traditional DeFi investing with real-world uses.
  • CoinDripHQ: The token-streaming protocol on #MultiversX, allowing you to stream, vest tokens, & make repeat payments effortlessly.
  • xPortal: xPortal is the ultimate money superapp that offers handy debit cards for quick switches between crypto and cash in seconds. It is the biggest and most popular MultiversX Wallet, securing on-chain wallets with 2FA and Invisible Guardian for an uncompromisable front.

We’ve also listed two new tokens to AshSwap Aggregator to diversify swapping options:

  • XOXNO’s $PADAWAN
  • eFootball’s $EFOO

Enjoy the best swapping rates across #MultiversX with AshSwap Aggregator v1.2 for all the tokens listed and upgrade your trading experience.

AshSwap New Liquidity Pools

A total of 5 new pools just entered AshSwap DEX:

  • JewelSwap: $sDAI — $JWLUSD, $EPUNK — $JWLEGLD.
  • ProjectX: $DNA — $USDC.
  • New pool to phase out BUSD: $USDC — $USDT, $EGLD — $USDC.

More pools, more liquidity provision options, and more earning potential. Stake your tokens and enjoy a cut on transactions fees, LPs: 📌 https://app.ashswap.io/pool/

Important: $BUSD Depreciation Process

Following the recent $BUSD de-listing news from Binance, we’re also disabling $BUSD pools to keep AshSwap safe and stable.

Here’s what we suggest you could do:

  • Withdraw $BUSD liquidity from pools.
  • Trade $BUSD for other tokens, using AshSwap Aggregator for the best rates.
  • Reach out to AshSwap if you have any concerns.

Monthly Key Stats

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes. Last month, we had a few bullish signals on AshSwap with the Governance Stats Spike.

Almost in sync, our TVL shot to new heights this November: First, it reached $7.73M and placed our protocol in the top 3 on MultiversX. Within a matter of days, the number was round $10M. Our trading volumes also consistently rose above 500K in 4 days.

Onwards and upwards is the way to go, AshSwap fam!

Merry-cember!

We’re gearing up for a robust finish to the last month of 2023. With the impending Battle of Perps on the horizon and significant updates in the works for AshSwap, get ready for a whole host of AshSwap & AshPerp developments.

The list of AshSwap Aggregator v2’s integration will be updated with leading ecosystem protocols.

We also expect the depreciation process for BUSD will be completed in December. Please migrate your BUSD liquidity from existing pools accordingly to avoid further losses.
