The Vision
Why was TangleSwap created?
In 2009, an anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto released 2.03 MB of revolutionary code1, designed as "a new electronic cash system that uses a peer-to-peer network [...] completely decentralized with no server or central authority” — an exemplary contribution originated in direct response to the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse.
In 2022, echoes of such financial calamities remain pervasive2,3,4 and show the need for a 'post-centralization' global future that matches the principles of transparency & equitability set forth by Satoshi; an on-chain future where power lies in the hands of individuals.
TangleSwap exists to further this vision by democratizing and bringing decentralized finance to the masses.
What is the Tangleship's trajectory?
Leaving Earth's Orbit
TangleSwap's primary objective is to equip our vibrant community of explorer with a comprehensive suite of the most advanced and efficient decentralized finance (DeFi) tools. The protocol seamlessly blends battle-tested technology and business models together with original, pioneering innovations. This approach opens the doors for everyone, regardless of their experience, to capitalize on the full potential of DeFi.
Following this rationale, TangleSwap launches with a suite of seven non-custodial, groundbreaking applications:
- Multi-Route Trading
- Concentrated Liquidity Pools
- Multi-Modality Farms
- Vote-Escrowed Staking
- NFT Staking
- Investment Hub Launchpad
Interstellar Travel
Importantly, the groundbreaking innovations, user-centric interface, and product design behind TangleSwap have been tailored to meet the modern needs of professional DeFi users and mainstream participants alike.
Having the VOID token - the fundamental economic and governmental cornerstone of the TangleSwap protocol - natively minted on robust blockchain infrastructure enables TangleSwap to be perfectly positioned to capture future growth and seamlessly scale along an ever-expanding number of Web3 users. At the same time, the economic incentive schemes, value creation mechanisms, and continuous positive price pressure infused into the VOID token foster the perfect conditions for a sustainable economy.
Moreover, as the global Web3 space grows, with use cases for digital assets coming to full fruition, TangleSwap will continuously advance its application offering to cater to the trustless needs of professional DeFi users and mainstream participants alike, thus laying the foundation to develop TangleSwap's vision into a reality: becoming a leading hub for decentralized finance across the global cryptocurrency and Web3 landscape.
Full control, full freedom, and endless possibilities — the future of finance on TangleSwap.
The Product Palette
Below we provide a quick overview over the seven different decentralized applications (dApps) that compose the TangleSwap protocol. For extensive in-depth documentation, please refer to the Protocol Explainer articles.
- Swap
- Liquidity Pools
- Asteroid Farms
- Staking Fields
- NFT Staking
- Launchpad
- Omnichain
Multi-Route Token Trading, elevating user experience to new heights
At the heart of the protocol lies a user-friendly, powerful token-swapping application. Traders benefit from TangleSwap’s Concentrated Liquidity and Multi-Route advanced algorithms, enabling limit orders and high-volume trades even with modest liquidity, while keeping fees & price impact to an absolute minimum.
Concentrated Liquidity Provision, the future of DeFi
TangleSwap's Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) allows liquidity providers to create positions tied to specific price ranges, enabling superior flexibility that offers users absolute control over their assets.
Thanks to its exceptional capital efficiency, positions earn higher returns with less liquidity. Research has shown capital efficiencies can become up to x4000 times higher when compared to conventional AMMs.
Dual-Modality Liquidity Farming, a sophisticated approach to sustainable liquidity
TangleSwap's cutting-edge Liquidity Farming technology delivers targeted single- and multi-token rewards while, importantly, empowering projects to design bespoke reward distribution schemes through a combination of 3 different, highly customizable mechanisms.
By leveraging these Asteroid Farms, projects effectively become their own market makers, employing a suite of tailor-made solutions to address their unique liquidity needs, and ensuring rewards are distributed with optimal economic efficiency and positive impact.
Innovative Vote-Escrowed Staking, powered by TangleSwap's pioneering Void Energy mechanism
TangleSwap's Staking Fields transform the DeFi landscape by establishing the necessary infrastructure for a Decentralized Reputational System. Users can now stake a protocol's native currency — such as $VOID — to accumulate decentralized reputational points (e.g. Void Energy), while at the same time benefiting from sustainable incentives in the form of a steady yield which is shielded from mercenary — i.e. short-term opportunistic — capital.
This groundbreaking approach equips protocols with the tools needed to foster long-term, healthy organic growth of their platform and underlying token, without any need for centralized intermediaries.
NFT Staking, a practical solution for digital communities
TangleSwap provides an essential tool tailored for high-quality NFT initiatives, such as Real-World Assets (RWA) ventures. NFT Staking empowers developers to nurture and strengthen their communities by offering seamless access to NFT-Fi and decentralized governance while fostering fairness, ensuring liquid markets, and enhancing value for all stakeholders.
Investment Hub, a feature-rich Token Launchpad for discerning investors
TangleSwap's Investment Hub delivers a refined token launchpad for users to explore and invest in well-suited, potentially lucrative early opportunities based on each individual’s risk appetite. Simultaneously, the Hub offers emerging projects a streamlined, secure, and established decentralized fundraising platform, free from the high-entry barriers and prohibiting constraints of traditional finance.
Interdimensional Operability, a seamless platform to travel across chains
TangleSwap's Omnichain Interoperability has been built specifically together with an industry-leader protocol to provide seamless, secure interoperability across chains. With an optional feature for account abstraction, it has been design such that users may choose to leverage on-chain opportunities without even becoming aware of the underlying chains that they are using.
