Beamswap quarterly report Q2 2024
Record-breaking 9-figure volume on Beamex, initiatives to boost activity and relevance of the Moonbeam, Moonriver and Polkadot networks, and plenty of community activities.
The first half of the year is behind us, and it’s time to recap the events that market the past three months. Despite typically slower summer days, the Beamswap and Beamex platforms delivered. Big time.
Q1 2024 highlights
📈 Beamex volume through the roof
Beamex, the only platform on the Moonbeam Network for fully decentralized trading of crypto derivatives, has achieved impressive stats in the past few weeks.
The daily volume chart rose up to the $2,500,000 mark, while the total volume on the exchange hit the magical 9-figure threshold and has surpassed $100,000,000.
The new records are also a result of Moonbeam Network’s Season 3 Grants, which boosted the daily trading activity on Beamex and across the Moonbeam Network with higher rewards.
🚀 Expansion
In late April, the Beamswap team submitted a proposal for a liquidity incentive program and development. The goal? To revive the Moonriver ecosystem and to channel increased liquidity back to the Kusama Network.
Network’s backing and concentrated liquidity incentives aimed to increase the platform’s capital efficiency. At the same time, the Moonriver network could benefit from higher asset utilization, high efficiency, low slippage on all trading pairs, and sustainability via default fee sharing.
Beamswap’s initiative soon grew from an idea to a solid plan. The Moonbeam ecosystem’s decisionmakers have approved the plan, making Beamswap the chosen provider to launch a Mooriver-based DeFi hub.
The decentralized exchange will add a new channel for the Moonriver network to attract and retain more users and generate greater trading activity.
On another front, the Beamswap team submitted two proposals to increase the $DOT liquidity on Beamex and onboard new users to the Polkadot ecosystem.
👉 Beamex PERPadot Proposal: $DOT LP Depth Loan (500,000 $DOT)
👉 Beamex PERPadot Proposal: $DOT Liquidity Incentives (500,000 $DOT)
A significant $DOT liquidity depth in the Beamex Liquidity Pool (BLP) would allow traders to open larger leverage positions natively on Polkadot, leading to stronger interest and influx of new traders executing a greater number of transactions on the network.
