Addressing the current UX & Liquidity issues for buying /selling tokens in an ever-growing sea of new and upcoming cryptocurrencies.

If you think that the 2185 listed cryptocurrencies on Coinmarketcap is it, well, you are merely seeing the tip of the Iceberg.

For every Blockchain Platform that gained recognition during the last market cycle, a TON of new apps with their own custom token have been built on top of these platforms, each platform with its own decentralized exchanges, and each one offering tons of tokens that are not even picked up by most centralized exchanges.

A prominent example of these platforms is EOS, which offers simple user account names, ZERO transaction fees, and ultra fast performance. It is also relatively simple to get started on EOSIO Development, which makes it the perfect platform for new blockchain developers to try out their ideas, and for projects that built their project on Ethereum or other platforms to scale up their DAPP (Decentralized Application).

Did you know that there are more than 400 DAPPS built on EOS and most of them have their own EOS-based Token? Multiply this by the hundreds of well adopted Blockchain Platforms and you are facing a sea of cryptocurrencies that will most likely be unknown to most of the new users.

All this brings us to the real issue here: LIQUIDITY and the current experience of acquiring platform-specific tokens.

When new users enter a new DAPP, they will not have time to research the platform’s token, do their own estimations, and only then decide if they want to buy the token in order to use the app. Not to mention, they will have to: Leave the App, log into a DEX, look for token, enter an order, wait for the order to be filled (if ever! some order books are almost empty), leave the DEX, enter the app again… AAAARGH! is that even an acceptable UX?

Our mission at YOLO is to improve this user experience, by providing a seamless and frictionless trading experience, where the user just needs to select the required token, trade it for any supported token listed on our platform, and Voila!

  • No order books
  • No deposits
  • No waiting for the order to be filled
  • No leaving the app (* API coming soon)

YOLO is now LIVE!

You can go ahead and try the platform to get a sense of the value that YOLO can bring to the table. Currently, we have very few tokens listed, and we actually take pride in listing only the TOP EOS Projects, so we have a stricter procedure for listing than most DEX’es out there. This can be seen as a shortcoming at first, but building TRUST is something that requires time and effort, not to mention transparency and accountability.

We want to invite you to try out YOLO and give us your feedback.

  • How do you find the User Experience?
  • How fast did you get the token you wanted?
  • How did the price you got compare to other prices out there?
  • Which tokens would you like us to list next?
  • What features would you like to see developed next?

We are just getting started and so far the reviews have been amazing, the EOS Community is so welcoming and appreciative of new developers that it is truly heart-warming to be part of the community.

So stay tuned, connect with us, and GO YOLO!
