Currently, there isn't any DEX on Cardano and new projects don't have a place to bootstrap their token distribution.
Introducing MinSwap - a DEX on Cardano that supports multiple liquidity pool functions and initial token listing.
This is the total amount allocated to MinSwap - Multi-pool DEX.
With the upcoming release of Alonzo, there will be a lot of innovative projects looking for a place to initially distribute their tokens. There will also be lots of DeFi users looking for a place to trade new tokens as well as support their favorite projects. This is the premise of MinSwap - a multi-pool automated market maker. What is multi-pool, anyway? It means that there can be multiple pricing functions for one single pair, for example constant-product function, StableSwap invariant, Kyber's DMM function, etc. The trading interface will compute and route to the most efficient pools.
Features
Fair Launch: No pre-mine, no pre-sale. MIN tokens are distributed fairly with only 10% allocated to development funds.
Yield Farming: MIN tokens are rewarded to liquidity providers who stake their liquidity pool tokens.
Launchpool: Supporting new projects in Cardano ecosystem with Initial DEX Offering (IDO) and Initial Farm Offering (IFO).
Permissionless: Anybody can list tokens without permission. Anybody can trade tokens without KYC.
Community First: All trading fees go directly to liquidity providers. MIN token holders can vote democratically on protocol changes.
Ethereum Compatible: With ERC-20 Converter, users can trade Ethereum tokens at much lower fees.
Stake Pool Operators Support: Minswap supports the SPOs by a community-oriented ADA delegation policy and automatic native token fees conversion. (more details in FAQ)
