Hydro Protocol Weekly Updates
June 9-June 15, 2018
Dear Hydro Community,
As the second week of June comes to a close, we are excited to share the progress of our Hydro team. Thanks to all of you for your support as we continue to grow!
Product & Development
DDEX, the first Hydro Protocol based 0x Relayer, launched several platform upgrades last week:
- Launched a new, slick landing page with more up to date and relevant information
- Added an “All Open Orders” (with cancel all feature) feature on the Overview page. Users can access all open orders from the Trade — Open Orders section. This will allow users to much more easily track and manage their ongoing orders.
- On Overview, users can now go back to trade page from overview by clicking on trading pairs.
- Improved wallet verification UX.
Moving onto a weekly analysis of trading volume, specifically for 0x relayers:
In the past week on DDEX, we have seen increases in the following user-based statistics:
- Total number of logged in accounts: +2.0%
- Approve/WRAP/Unwrap transactions: +3.2%
- Buy/Sell transactions: +7.6%
- Accounts with 1st transaction: +2.7%
- Accounts with 1st Wrap ETH: +2.6%
Again, we thank all of you for supporting and trading with DDEX. Our growth is largely due to the continued support from our amazing community.
