August is here, and the momentum at Glitch Finance continues to build.
With the GEX MVP launch drawing nearer, we have been making significant progress refining every aspect to ensure a seamless and truly decentralized user experience. We are also excited to share details for the BUIDL on Glitch hackathon, offering developers and innovators a chance to shape the future of DeFi.
In this edition, we'll delve into the latest progress on the GEX and share insights into our upcoming initiatives. Let’s roll.
A look back at July
GEX MVP
Exciting progress continues in the development journey of GEX, the eagerly awaited decentralized exchange on the GLITCH blockchain. As we gear up for the GEX MVP launch, we're thrilled to announce that both development and QA testing have reached 100% completion, with the team now pushing forward with the infrastructure setup phase. You can view the progress in the roadmap breakdown.
In recent development, we’re ensuring that the two new contracts for the bridge are built out so users can bridge back and forth between chains if they purchased either g.ETH and g.USDT on the Glitch chain.
In a recent article, we unveiled essential details about the initial token listings, proposed token economics and allocation split for the platform and GEX token. By exploring this article, you'll gain valuable insights into GEX's economics and how the GEX token functions within our decentralized exchange.
To gain deeper insights into the mission driving the GEX, we recommend reading our recent thought piece on the imperative of a genuinely decentralized exchange amidst the encroaching centralization of the DeFi space. We invite every community member to actively participate and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the GEX. Your engagement and contributions are crucial as we strive to establish a powerful and decentralized platform for the entire community. Together, we can pave the way for a new era of financial empowerment.
