KPerp live on Kava, Gnosis Merges, and farming-as-a-service enters final testing— Lodge Letter #66
Kperp.exchange is live on Kava with trading liquidity for $KPE on ElkDex. With Kava looking to become a major DeFi portal between EVM and Cosmos systems, the stage is being set. And Elk is there helping where it can — more to come!
$KPE is live and kicking on Kava Co-Chain
Further to the IDO approximately a week ago KPerp has now opened the doors for trading. There are two methods that traders can currently use for transacting:
- Spot trading, along with swaps and limit orders
- Perpetual futures trading with short- and long-position leverage of up to 30x
In volatile markets the power of both of these tools is well known. In particular is the opportunity to place leveraged trades on the supported BTC, ETH and KAVA markets. As each of these assets move though their channels the earning potential for savvy trading is amplified by the 30x perpetual trading available on the fast Kava Co-Chain. Give it a try, it works well, it works fast, and with limit orders also possible for leverage and spot trades you can sleep easy knowing your positions are managed as you want them.
Gnosis Merge
Gnosis has transitioned from its Proof-of-Authority legacy to PoS. As a community-run chain with over 100K validators securing the Gnosis Beacon Chain, Gnosis offers a resilient, unstoppable network to the public.
Gnosis will be the most decentralized network behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. Post-Merge Gnosis aims to become the most resilient and neutral network that anyone can use to build, transact, or communicate, without privilege or prejudice.
Elk is proud to connect Gnosis to our ElkNet. We’ll be here for all Gnosis projects to build their bridges on ElkNet in the future, set up their self-managed farms using FaaS, and enjoy the future of truly interoperable DeFi now and in the future.
Farming-as-a-Service
The contracts are in final testing and the interface is being honed. We should have more for you as soon as we can.
Short and sweet. It’s coming, and it’s there to support projects. Because we are here for others. True story.
Meet the Team
Every great story seems to begin with a snake. Immortal words from the esoteric mind of the inimitable Nicolas Cage.
Snake Plissken is not a Nicolas Cage character (he’s actually a Kurt Russell character) but an integral part of the operational management of Elk. In a world of start-ups there are always those who will step up to take on glamorous tasks, and few who embrace the minutiae of planning, accounting, managing the people, and the day-to-day running of a project. Snake, or Shylo, is that fellow. As in he takes the glamour and the grunt.
Elk TikToks? Voice and video interviews and AMAs? Shylo is there — the face of Elk. Node payments, HR management, expense reporting? That’s right, Shylo is there too. He’ll try to tell you that TikTok isn’t glamorous, but he won’t deny it’s fun. He’ll say that spreadsheets and data collation is boring, yet you haven’t seen his delight when a formula string from an API is made to work (finally!) He is an example of how joy can be found in the darkness and his upbeat can-do nature is warmly appreciated at Elk.
He’s one of our most visible team members and right so. Say hi to Elk-embodied. Shylo “Snake Plissken” Cliffe.
In his own words:
I’ve always been a huge nerd and have been interested in the blockchain for quite some time, but only relatively recently did I feel I had a firm grasp on it! I’ve loved Elk Finance since I was lucky enough to find the project in March 2021. From the very beginning, I knew that Elk was something special. A project solving an actual problem is rare, and not only that, it is rare that a problem is addressed so meticulously and innovatively. Interoperability is the new Holy Grail!
The thing that blows me away more than anything is the dedication, intelligence, and creativity of the Elk team. The content creators, marketing team, developers, admins, and business developers are the wild and free heartbeat of Elk. I’m sure I’ve not met a more talented developer than Baal! I count myself lucky to be able to collaborate with such a great team!
