Klaytn Open Source DEX by SORAMITSU

→ SORAMITSU and Klaytn Collaboration: Development of Open Source Decentralized Exchange Infrastructure Completed.

Further strengthening SORAMITSU's place as a trusted technology partner to the Klaytn network, development on the open-source decentralized exchange infrastructure is complete and will be available for users to test.

    As a follow-up to the release in March this year, where the development of the open-source DEX infrastructure was presented, it is our pleasure to announce that the open-source DEX infrastructure is complete. The open-source release, proposed to the Klaytn Improvement Reserve, is a great addition to the Klaytn network as it will empower decentralization and help keep the network at the forefront of technological developments.

    The SORAMITSU-developed open-source DEX infrastructure progress was documented in milestones presented to the Klaytn community through the KIR. The DEX backbone will be available for a dex operator to implement tokenomics and provide liquidity. The DEX will initially feature fungible token swapping, staking and liquidity provision, token-based governance, and token minting. There will also be dashboards to monitor the dex, providing valuable information to Klaytn network users. Additionally, the DEX infrastructure will be available for public testing from November 29th, 2022 till January 20th, 2023.

    "Open-source is a game changer in the software development industry. Web3 is a technology that revolutionized the 21st century. We combined best practices from both of them into the Klaytn-DEX project — the first open-source DEX in the Klaytn ecosystem."

    "We couldn't be more proud to partner with the Klaytn Community to advance their ongoing globalization effort. Our focus on building for the long term, together with our unique combination of assets, technology, and people, will enable both SORAMITSU and Klaytn to achieve our shared vision for a decentralized tomorrow."
