Mission of VOOI — Why We Believe It’s a Breakthrough

Nice to e-meet you — it’s VOOI [/vəʊ.iː/] on the line!

VOOI is a perpetual DEX aggregator that leverages trades across EVM and non-EVM networks and simplifies trading activities without accessibility and security compromises. It aggregates several exchange platforms and protocols (such as Orderly, KiloEx and GMX) to access them simultaneously and trade assets on supported blockchains with no need to bridge or swap tokens in a manual manner.

Look at the robust ecosystem we’re onboarding at VOOI aggregator!

Ecosystem of Perp DEXs and Blockchain Networks we either support or plan to support

While there are numerous trading solutions already available at the DeFi market, there are still some limitations that give real headaches to traders and crypto enthusiasts. VOOI comes to solve the trilemma of bad UX experience, lack of Interoperability and sustaining high-quality security.

See VOOI as one compound and unified platform to trade on multiple blockchain networks via several perpetual decentralized exchanges. As VOOI’s mission is to provide indeed a better trading experience, we’re including more features:

  • Gasless Experience and Account Abstraction (ERC-4337) Standard Technology
  • Automation with Trading Bots
  • Intent-based Collateral Provision

In the traditional and existing trading solutions traders are required to perform a lot of manual tasks (and when we say a lot, we mean a lot). VOOI simplifies it to using a single platform and one website. Yes, just one gateway for bridging assets, using preferred gas tokens and opening trades.

There are lots of things to talk about and focus on, and it’s important to highlight what’s available now and what’s coming next in the near future.

Welcome onboard and let’s take a tour through our VOOI release journey. It’s broken down into several time frames: Three Phases with several Seasons (Alpha, Betta, Gamma) included in each Phase.

VOOI Phase 1 — Activating Trading in Alpha Season

VOOI, as a compound aggregator and a platform, will have multiple tools to provide the best experience to trading activities. In order to navigate through the VOOI features and their release timelines on the launch, it’s important to understand the Seasons of VOOI.

There will be three time periods — called Phases — that will take some time to be introduced and released. Each of them consists of several Phases that include several product feature launches and will be available upon a certain time frame.

VOOI Roadmap

The reason why we break down the roll out process in that way lies right at the heart of VOOI.

By design, VOOI comes as a compound and unified product that performs several trading activities underhood and aggregates numerous blockchain network liquidity. On top of that, there are unique features that help VOOI stand out among other applications and provide the best perp trading experience, including Gasless infrastructure, intent-based collaterals, and many others.

Our team takes additional steps in the development of VOOI to test, research and design the puzzle that is about to solve the problems of DeFi trading. Step-by-step we stress-test each product feature to be completely reassured that there are no flaws in the service and the platform and our users can enjoy it and stay safe.

You know the saying: Haste makes waste

While there are lot of work to be done, and our developers and contributors dedicate the most of time to perfect future launches of VOOI, we can’t wait to guide through what we launch today — Alpha Season of the Phase 1

Vooi Phase 1, Alpha Season — Unlocked 🔓

’Tis the Alpha Season. We’re here!

On 8th of May, VOOI entered the first Season of Phase 1 called Alpha and revealed the showstopper — Unified Trading Terminal.

Unified Trading Terminal is an interface that provides you with the direct access to trading via numerous perpetual decentralized exchanges (or DEXs). It allows you to execute and limit your trading orders as well as manage your portfolio and price impact on your deals. VOOI makes sure to include all important elements and required information into one screen of Unified Trading Terminal while also maintaining the direct access to supported blockchain networks and assets on them for trading.

To cut it short, Unified Trading Terminal is a compound platform for trading on multiple DEXs with simplified yet complete design.

In Alpha Season we introduce the exclusive support of Orderly Network and become its broker — a perpetual decentralized exchange. VOOI also introduces the support of Orderly Network incentive points. By the time we post this article, there are already open and closed trades on supported blockchain networks: Optimism, Arbitrum One and Base by Coinbase.

It’s fully operational and available right at https://app.vooi.io/!

Vooi Phase 1, Seasons Beta, Gamma — To Be Unlocked 🔐

By the time we finish Q2 of 2024, we would consistently introduce the remaining seasons of first Phase 1 and implement the support of additional perpetual DEXs with an introduction to a special VOOI program!

In a matter of time, we are going to enter the following seasons:

  • Right after Alpha — Betta Season Release. Including the support KiloEx platform and access to BNB Chain and Manta Network for trading (coming with KiloEx Points support);
  • Later, Gamma Season Release. VOOI will integrate GMX Exchange with the access to such networks as Arbitrum and Avalanche.

As we achieve new milestones and reach new heights, we always take a closer look at those users and adopters that contribute by actively trading at VOOI and advocating for us. With the upcoming campaigns we’re going to reward most active community members and support your contribution to a better DeFi.

Stay tuned and look closely at our Socials — there are campaigns we will reveal extremely soon.

Coming Soon: VOOI Phase 2 and Phase 3

After getting the initial feedback from the audience, our great trader community and crypto enthusiasts, we will simultaneously run the tests and finish the development under the hood to roll out the release of the full access of Intent-based Framework.

VOOI, as an Intent-based perpetual decentralized exchanges aggregator, will receive and process the desired outcome from the user by taking over the “How-to” questions and tasks from the trader. In this framework our team implements the integration of Gasless Trading and Account Abstraction standard support. You can read more about IntentBased+ in our Documentation right here.

Phases 2 and 3 also include several Seasons, as the Intent-based product features will be introduced step-by-step for traders and VOOI users.
