eXponential Finance Live: Next generation market making with Swaap

Link visible for attendees

Swaap's mission is to democratize DeFi because it is intrinsically better than the centralized financial system. Swaap does so by providing profitable & passive market making strategies to all types of investors, no matter their level of sophistication and by providing traders with the cheapest prices onchain.

By enabling multi-asset pools with strongly reduced impermanent loss, Swaap enables a new asset class: yield ETFs (index products that collect fees). Since Swaap leverages oracle feeds to implement its approach, Swaap is complementary to traditional AMMs and to Order Books:

- AMMs are probably the best design to trade low cap tokens which could not be listed on Order Books.
- Swaap is a more efficient model to invest & trade on-chain for higher cap tokens which are listed on Order Books.

Recently, Swaap Labs has successfully closed a USD 4.5m seed funding round led by Signature Ventures, alongside New Form Capital, C² Ventures, Kima Ventures, Pareto Ventures, Entrepreneur First and other prominent investors.

This funding will accelerate the development and release of Swaap v2, a revolutionary upgrade to Swaap's Next-Generation Market Making Protocol by offering Liquidity Providers LPs passive, profitable market-making strategies with reduced trading costs and sustainable yields.

🔜 Join the waitlist for the upcoming v2 release to access the new platform and enjoy exclusive benefits: swaap.finance/waitlist
