The decentralized finances market, as of today, has secured itself in the blockchain-based cryptocurrency ecosystem as one of the most efficient ways of generating profit in a trustless way. It is also the driving force in the latest innovations in liquidity infrastructure, in both liquidity and yield farming.

KLAYswap’s core value lies in its ability to support assets and their liquidity, regardless of the chain the asset is hosted on. And to that extent KLAYswap has not only supported assets on Klaytn blockchain, but now supports Ethereum, BSC, Ripple and more cross-chain assets through an innovative IBC platform called Orbit Bridge. And by utilizing assets imported across the Bridge, depositors have multiple ways of generating profit, from receiving dividends from pool fees, to mining KSP.

Currently, the BSC and ETH based assets that are registered and available for use through Orbit Bridge are as follows. You are invited to participate in provisioning liquidity in KLAYswap through any of the following assets.

Ethereum: ETH, ORC, WBTC, USDT, DAI, ANKR, and more

Binance Smart Chain: BNB, BELT, CAKE, AUTO, BIFI, XVS

For tokens being transferred from BSC to Klaytn network, there is no bridge fees and tax, for the purpose of allowing users to try using KLAYswap with ease and flexibility. In addition to this, we are in the process of developing MetaMask extension for use with Klaytn, so users who are unfamiliar with Klaytn wallets can participate more easily.

Through integration of various heterogeneous chain assets, KLAYswap currently boasts over 40% of its total assets in cross-chain assets, and that number is constantly increasing. By creating a sustainable and user-friendly liquidity infrastructure, we plan on making KLAYswap more competitive in the world of DeFi

The purpose of this post is to let new users know how to convert and provide liquidity to KLAYswap pools in a detailed manner, so they may too can utilize the innovative liquidity infrastructure that KLAYswap is building towards.
