JediSwap treding at #3 on Gitcoin Grants

JediSwap has been chosen to be part of the Gitcoin OSS Alpha Round, and we are currently in the top 3 projects by donation amount and the number of contributors count.

@JediSwap

Padawans!

The Gitcoin OSS Alpha Round is Live!

Gitcoin rounds are important for us since JediSwap is a 100% community-led project and uses these funds to push the web3 ecosystem by creating open-source tools and educational content.

JediSwap is a 100% community-driven project; there is no central team. Hence, participatory funding is vital for JediSwap's development. Your donations allow JediSwap to create public open-source tools and educational content about web3.

Here is the link to the JediSwap Gitcoin grant page.

If you want to donate and need help on how to do so, you can read it by clicking here.

We thank you in advance!

100% rise in trading volume and 35% growth in TVL

TVL on JediSwap continues to grow consistently, with a 35% increase in the last two weeks. On the other hand, the volume has risen by more than 100% in the last two weeks, allowing liquidity providers to earn some juicy APYs, with ETH-USDC LPs earning close to 40% APY. Stable pool USDC-USDT also saw a consistent APY of more than 20%.

Now you can track TVL, Volume, APY, and everything else on the freshly launched JediSwap analytics dashboard: https://info.jediswap.xyz/home

Improving wallets

StarkWare announced that they would bring new updates for StarkNet wallets, which will have breaking changes to bring new features. Starkware recommended users to keep their wallets updated for the next few months. To do this, go to your Argent or Braavos wallet and click on the wallet update pop-up. If it does not appear when you open your wallet, it means that it is up to date. Please note that it is crucial to do this for all your sub-accounts.

Starknet ✨🐺

@Starknet

We are excited to announce that we will be releasing updates to the StarkNet wallets in the coming weeks. These updates will bring new features and improvements to the platform, but they will also include breaking changes.

StarkWare, in collaboration with Braavos, also published a fascinating article to understand the power of StarkNet and Account Abstraction through the 'Hardware Signer' Braavos' feature. Check it out here.
