In the second quarter, the team deeper-dived into the DeFi World. It is truly worth celebrating O3 Swap Version 1 was officially launched in April. We achieved cross-chain transactions of native assets by deploying aggregators on main DEXes of different chains and established the cross-chain pool in O3 Hub for executing transactions. Even more remarkable was the O3 Wallet users can swap directly in the mobile version.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

O3 Swap

There are three functions now available in the O3 Swap Version 1:

Swap

Different from the existing swap in the DeFi market, we have integrated mainstream blockchain liquidity and our cross-chain pool to achieve cross-chain transactions in a single step.

Ethereum, BSC, HECO, and Neo are currently implemented in the cross-chain swap transaction. We have also deployed our aggregators to connect the liquidity from main DEXs such as Uniswap, PancakeSwap, MDEX, Flamingo on these chains.

There are three swap routes applied in the current version.

  • Single-chain swap: Swap tokens via our aggregators on the same chain. (ex., ERC20 to ERC20)
  • Cross-chain swap: Swap tokens via our cross-chain pools across different chains. (ex., USDT (ERC20) to BUSD (BEP20))
  • Aggregation cross-chain swap: Swap tokens via our aggregators + cross-chain pools across different chains. (ex., UNI (ERC20) to BTCB (BEP20))

Hub

The O3 Hub is at the heart of the ecosystem — executing transactions through the use of a cross-chain pool. Three cross-chain pools established in Q2 to provide liquidity:

  • O3-Pool: USDT (ERC-20) + BUSD (BEP-20) + HUSD (HRC-20)
  • ETH-Pool: WETH (ERC-20) + ETH (BEP-20) + ETH (HRC-20)
  • BTC-Pool: WBTC (ERC-20) + BTCB (BEP-20) + HBTC (HRC-20)

Similar to the Bridge, Users are able to freely swap the tokens across chains within the pool. Plus, they can deposit assets in the cross-chain pools to receive LP, and stake LP in the Vault section to mining and earn O3 rewards.

Vault

We held two mining events in three networks separately during Q2 in Vault: Ice Age Mining & Icing Sugar Mining

Icing Sugar Mining #3 HECO

The total locked value (TVL) within O3’s pools has already surpassed $700M and our cross-chain daily volume surpasses $14M daily. Thanks to the enthusiasm and trust of our users, we are stronger and more solid step by step.
