Today is a significant day for the Blitz⚡, as the highly anticipated Thunder Swap DEX on the Arbitrum network is on the verge of being launched. However, before we take that step, we need the community’s help in testing and refining the platform!
Thunder Swap⚡ aims to be a feature-rich DEX that offers all the basic features,while also delivering an innovative and user-friendly experience. Our mission is to provide a simple, accessible, and cost-effective service to all users. That’s why a testnet is necessary to ensure that the mainnet launch is flawless and problem-free.
We value the input of our beta testers and plan to record their addresses for an upcoming event, as we want to reward those who help us bring this project to life.
For the first version of Thunder Swap⚡, we are deploying contracts for the three key features available upon launch:
? Swapping
? Staking/Farming
⚡️ Zap (1-Click LP)
You can test all these features on the Goerli testnet.And guess what? Thunder Swaphas even innovated by creating its own Faucet, making it easier for users to access the testnet.
SyncSwap is a seamless decentralized exchange (DEX) on the zkSync Era by MatterLabs. Powered by zero-knowledge technology, SyncSwap brings more people easy-to-use and low-cost DeFi with complete Ethereum security.
The vision for SyncSwap would be to build a one-stop-shop DeFi hub that is totally seamless and easy to use with innovative features.
Bring user-friendly and accessible DeFi products to more people that even never heard about Ethereum — on the scaled Ethereum.
I have discussed about SyncSwap and its Testnet OAT before on my Telegram Group and Channel.
I believe now SyncSwap is in the final stage of the testnet, so you can test the platform today. It may useful for you in the future drops.
