SHIB, yes, but here’s what is going on with Shiba Inu’s DEX
A part of the Shiba Inu ecosystem and launched in July 2021, ShibaSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX). It facilitates cryptocurrency trading on a peer-to-peer basis. According to the project’s whitepaper, the DEX was launched to provide a “safe place,” one where traders can conduct cryptocurrency transactions.
Powered by Shiba Inu’s three flagship tokens, SHIB, LEASH, and BONE, ShibaSwap was designed to let users “DIG” (provide liquidity) or “BURY” (stake) any of the tokens for “WOOF returns” as the project’s whitepaper puts it.
In essence, users of the DEX can stake SHIB to receive xSHIB, LEASH to receive xLEASH, and BONE to get tBONE. When liquidity is provided with any flagship token, a liquidity provider can obtain Shib-Eth SSLP, Leash-Eth-SSLP, or BONE-Eth SSLP.
Having been in operation for over a year, what do we know about how the DEX has performed?
