AirSwap’s New Era of Decentralized Trading
ConsenSys has just hit the “upgrade” button on AirSwap, its peer-to-peer exchange that’s all about decentralization and, here’s the kicker, guaranteed prices. This shiny new version was launched on a Tuesday that could only be described as technological Christmas.
What’s New? Understanding the Upgrades
So what’s changed, you ask? Well, the technical advancements are rooted in AirSwap Improvement Proposals (AIPs). Think of these as a community chatroom where users can suggest and prioritize what’s next for AirSwap.
- Protection Against Front-Running: Traders can breathe a little easier knowing they’re less likely to fall victim to rogue bots.
- Price Slippage Prevention: The RFQ protocol means what you see is what you get — no surprises here!
- Atomic Swaps for Settlement: It’s like the exchange’s version of a blockchain handshake — quick and rock-solid.
The Promise of RFQ Protocol
Don Mosites, the product lead at Codefi Markets, shared that the RFQ model is expected to capture a hefty 40% of decentralized trading volume. If you’ve been using aggregators like MetaMask Swaps, it’s no shocker. They’re seeing similar volume thanks to its zero slippage magic.
“RFQ systems minimize gas costs and promote better pricing by professionals.” – Don Mosites
That means less worry about pesky little things like market manipulation or mysterious smoke-and-mirror trades. It’s all about getting people to trade safely, regardless of their portfolio size.
A Historical Footprint
AirSwap isn’t just pulling off a cool upgrade; it’s made its mark historically too. Remember the first peer-to-peer security token trade back in November 2018? Yup, that was AirSwap! These platforms are like that one friend who’s always ahead of the curve!
Get Involved: Governance and Community
Starting today, users can stake their AirSwap tokens on Codefi Activate. This isn’t just for fun; it’s a way to ensure your voice is heard in the governance of the platform. With 15 AIPs published and more on the ballot, this marketplace iskeeping an eye on community engagement.
Looking Ahead: The Future of AirSwap
With an average trade volume of about $2 million per day, AirSwap is projected to soar after the latest round of integrations. And it’s not just the traders who benefit; new token issuers can also use Codefi Activate to encourage governance participation. Talk about a win-win situation!
Keep an eye out, folks. ConsenSys is back in the news space after teaming up with Securosys for a more secure staking solution for Ethereum 2.0. Today, the future feels bright — as bright as an Ethereum wallet full of rewards!
