DEX Hunter Introduces Crosschain Swaps on Cardano
DexHunter has unveiled its latest innovation: cross-chain swaps, allowing users to trade a diverse range of major cryptocurrencies such as SOL, ETH, ARB, USDT, USDC, DAI, and MATIC. This opens doors to and from the Cardano Blockchain to other networks.
Why Does This Matter for Cardano?
DexHunter's introduction of cross-chain swaps offers further flexibility and accessibility in Cardano's DeFi market. By enabling seamless exchanges between major cryptocurrencies like SOL, ETH, and stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, DexHunter is breaking down barriers between Cardano and other blockchain networks. This integration not only enhances liquidity but also opens up a world of possibilities for traders and investors onboarding to Cardano. This feature is still in Beta, and the team is looking into integrating ADA soon.
MELD's Vision for 2024: Roadmap!
MELD, the first non-custodial DeFi banking protocol, has just released its ambitious roadmap for 2024, promising to further revolutionize the world of decentralized finance. MELD is set to expand its offerings and capabilities significantly in 2024.
What is MELD?
MELD is a non-custodial DeFi protocol for web3 finance, providing cross-chain lending, borrowing, and staking on the MELD blockchain, supporting Cardano, Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, and BSC.
Why Does This Matter?
By expanding its services and enhancing its platform, MELD is poised to attract a wider audience, bridging the gap between traditional finance and Decentralized Finance.
