Winter(mute) Has Arrived
Wintermute’s support in market making enhances Hashflow’s capabilities and enables us to keep providing you a better trading experience - including scaling liquidity to allow you to execute larger trades.
For example, here’s a $5M $USDC ➡️ $ETH trade with no slippage or front running:
Liquidity has been enhanced for all chains that we support. Hashflow now routes nearly all of the stables swaps and the majority of blue chip trades on 1inch!
Product Upgrades & Technical Progress
New feature - You can now bookmark your favorite trading pairs and chains on the trading app. Based on the assets and chains you select on the UI, the app now generates a permalink URL which you can save as a shortcut to auto-select the same pairs and chains next time you visit:
With these URLs, you can now share a direct link to your frens with the trading pair and chains pre-selected if you want to trade the same assets together. Sharing is caring, after all.
Other technical progress:
- First round of audits on the new contracts are looking good!
- Contracts were upgraded to comply with LayerZero’s latest security upgrade
The Stats
Weekly volume continues to top $120M+ with healthy activity across all chains. The hashgang ain’t nothing to f*ck with!
The DeFi State
In last week’s episode, we had an epic discussion with Haseeb Qureshi from Dragonfly Capital and Avichal Garg from Electric Capital on the future of compliant DeFi - with surprise cameos from Ajit Tripathi and the founder of dYdX, Antonio Juliano. Catch the replay because you don’t want to miss this one! 👇
And ICYM the previous week’s episode - we had Balaji Srinivasan, the author of “The Network State”, sharing how we can turn a startup society into a network state and boosting all our IQs with green candles. Make sure to give it a listen!
