Juno

In line with the passing of proposal which we voted ‘Yes’ for #23 — Community Spend Proposal for Creation of Terra Developer Fund, which set up a treasury of a newly-formed Terra Developer Fund Multisig on DAODAO, Juno is now welcoming 3 projects from the Terra ecosystem, Leap, Loop and Kado.

Loop Finance, a platform built on Terra has announced that it will be migrating from Terra to the Juno Network. Loop Finance is the second legest Terra DEX and NFT Marketplace. Their new token will be launched on Juno based on multiple snapshots before and after the de-peg. Learn more here.

Kado, a fiat on/off-ramp application is migrating to Juno. Kado is the preferred payment infrastructure for several projects from artists coming from the Terra ecosystem. This is a notable mention as along with it, brings along its users to the dedicated Juno community.

Leap is a Super Wallet for web3. It provides a way to stake, swap and send and receive tokens. Leap also supports NFTs by means of viewing them, tracking floor prices and sending them. The fact that Leap will be expanding to the Cosmos ecosystem serves as an alternative product available to serve the rapidly growing community on Juno and beyond.

Oasis

Beefy Finance integrates with YuzuSwap on Oasis. Beefy Finance, a yield optimizer platform, serves its users by providing a yield on their crypto and does so by means of vaults. Moreover, YuzuSwap was the first DEX built on Oasis Emerald.

With this partnership, five Vaults have initially been opened on Oasis for the following YuzuSwap LP token pairs:

  • YUZU-Rose
