Breaking: ADAX’s DEX has Just Launched on Cardano

ADAX v1 is now live on Cardano. It now forms part of the network’s burgeoning DeFi ecosystem less than five months after the activation of smart contracting in late September 2021.

ADAX Launches an Order Book DEX on Cardano

Details on January 30 reveal that ADAX is a “core piece of infrastructure that’s critical to the long-term prosperity of the Cardano ecosystem.” The ramp introduces new features that stand out from other live and upcoming DEXes.

ADAX is a custodial and order-book-based decentralized exchange designed to fit into Cardano’s unique architecture. The DEX incorporates smart contracts built using Plutus for decentralization and to ensure instant and smooth transactions for all users.

The DEX’s codes are secure, deriving its security from the developing team’s expertise and the decentralization of Cardano. The network is the most decentralized Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm blockchain comprising over 3.3k staking pools. This follows the activation of the Shelley Phase in 2020, allowing the creation of staking pools following months of testing.

Cardano DeFi is Growing

Currently, Cardano has a total value locked of over $70 million and comes a few days after the deployment of a competing DEX, SundaeSwap. At this level, Cardano trails other networks that have been in operation for years.

The most dominant network for deploying DeFi dApps is Ethereum. It commands over $109 billion in total value locked, where Uniswap is one of the largest DEXes by assets under management. ADAX aims to follow Uniswap’s and PancakeSwap’s lead to be a go-to platform in Cardano, set apart by its feature offering.

Addressing Concurrency and Congestion

At the same time, ADAX will facilitate trading on-chain with measures to contain high congestions experienced in late January 2022. Transaction delays coincided with the launch of the first intensive DeFi dApp. Moreover, the ramp adds technical capabilities to avert concurrency issues common in the UTXO accounting system in Cardano.

While concurrency may or may not increase performance, throughput, or responsiveness, the frequency of concurrency may introduce limitations on the number of operations that can be simultaneously performed.

Concurrency can happen in Cardano because it is designed differently from the rest, like Ethereum. The pioneer smart contracting platform uses an accounting model with a mixer where transaction confirmation is not deterministic but depends on Gas a trader is willing to pay.

Expanding Partnerships

The ADAX graphics team also spent weeks designing a fitting user interface that’s intuitive and easier to navigate. This helps speed up DeFi adoption since complex user interfaces and operations in DeFi often keep out interested users.

ADAX also supports the Nami browser wallet. It is one of the most actively used browser wallets for accessing the growing Cardano ecosystem. It is a multicurrency and multisig hot wallet that allows users to securely store and transfer various native tokens, delegate to stake pools, and execute other operations. There are plans to integrate more wallets like CCVault and GeroWallet.

At the same time, they have expanded their partnerships to include Charlie3–an oracle prover, World Mobile–a solution offering blockchain-based telecommunication infrastructure, and VyFinance–a yield auto-harvester in Cardano.

The objective of collaborating with others is to create a cyclic ecosystem enhancing user experience and helping grow Cardano DeFi.

DeFi isn’t dead, it just needs to fix these 3 critical problems

It’s been a rough year for DeFi, and it may not get any better until projects focus more on security, regulation and usability. The persistent challenges  decentralized finance  face have been well documented by a handful of analysts and the recent collapse of the Terra ecosystem re-enforced the fact that something is critically wrong with DeFi. I think DeFi today is completely broken for 99% of the population. The promise of a more transparent financial system has been overtaken by greed. UST/LUNA is just the latest in a string of bad developments: — Peter Yang (@petergyang) May 11, 2022 Let's take a look at what experts say DeFi needs to do in order to have another revival.  Improved usability To date, the promise of open and uncensored access to a global decentralized financial system has been largely hampered by the complicated interface, confusing multi-step staking processes and lack of clarity surrounding the yields on various tokens. What do you thi...

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

National Futures Association adds rules for members handling digital assets

The CFTC-linked self-regulatory organization (SRO) has disclosure rules for members engaging in activities with BTC and ETH; now, standards of conduct are being added. The National Futures Association (NFA), the United States self-regulatory organization for derivatives markets, has issued a new compliance rule addressing members’ conduct. The new rule complements requirements issued in 2018. The NFA has “well over 100” members that engage in activities with digital asset commodities, but no way to address fraud or misconduct committed by those members, the organization explained to secretary of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Christopher Kirkpatrick in a Feb. 28 letter as it submitted the proposed new rule for approval. The new rule is modelled on the NFA’s antifraud rules for exchange traded futures and swaps transaction and retail foreign exchange. The NFA is the only registered self-regulatory organization that has delegated authority from the CFTC, giving it a...
