4. WaxGourd Finance

WaxGourd Finance is the first custom self-managed SWAP+C2C SWAP liquidity mining project on IOST. It aims to provide users with better trading prices and a better participation experience through unique custom market-making and C2C models.

WaxGourd established a set of exchange aggregation systems, so anyone can establish and manage their own decentralized SwapDex on WaxGourd. Based on the structure of current popular DeFi project transactions and market-making mining, WG tokens are provided as incentives for participants to promote ecological construction and community governance.

In the past two weeks, we have launched the WaxGourd Greenhouse and the Governance Module. Users who hold winter melon platform tokens (WG) can purchase winter melon seeds of different annualization and duration according to their preferences in the Greenhouse for cultivation. After the seeds are mature and picked, the principal and interest of the gourd are recovered.

Users who buy seeds in the Greenhouse will obtain different amounts of WaxGourd coupons (WGT), which can be used to vote in the Governance Module of the WaxGourd platform.

As of 24:00 on November 25, Xigua has achieved:

  • Market-making capital: 2.89 million
  • Number of transactions: 52864
