Project Description

FileSwap is a decentralized DeFi platform that offers a non-custodial wallet, token trading, liquidity provision, farming, staking, NFT trading, lending, and perpetual exchange. It provides users with a one-stop-shop for all their DeFi needs in a secure, flexible, and transparent environment.

Value

What are the benefits to getting this right? This proposal is highly valuable for the Filecoin ecosystem for several reasons. It offers a comprehensive DeFi platform that includes a non-custodial wallet, token trading, liquidity provision, farming, staking, NFT trading, lending, and perpetual exchange, all within a single platform. This provides a one-stop shop for users to access a range of DeFi services, which can attract more users to the Filecoin ecosystem. Then our fresh feature: the perpetual exchange feature can provide a unique and attractive offering to users, allowing them to trade FVM tokens and related ones with leverage. This can create new opportunities for users to maximize their returns in the Filecoin ecosystem and attract more traders to the platform. Additionally, with major DEX also supporting FVM, this can create a "CocaCola and Pepsi" effect, where users can take advantage of arbitrage opportunities between the two platforms. Furthermore, we will leverage our waitlist for Gummys.io, which we plan to pivot. As of now, we have 340,000 members on our waitlist and 100k followers on social media, which will provide a significant user base to attract to FileSwap. This gives us a significant advantage over other startups that may not have access to a large existing user base.

What are the risks if you don't get it right?

The bad market could result in fewer users trading on the platform and providing liquidity. This could have a negative impact on the overall success of the platform, making it less attractive to users and potentially reducing its competitiveness in the DeFi space.

Deliverables

The final will be: FileSwap, a fully functional decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Filecoin blockchain with amazing features like token trading, liquidity provision, farming, staking, NFT trading, lending, and perpetual exchange. We will focus on user experience, security and community offering users a secure experience.
