Ociswap
An introduction to Ociswap and the Ociverse.
Ociswap is a decentralised exchange (DEX) being built on the Radix Network. Scheduled to release with the highly anticipated Babylon update, Ociswap features a user-friendly swap environment that provides a fast, smooth and inexpensive trading experience. With a potent combination of concentrated and protocol owned liquidity, Ociswap seeks to deliver a capital-efficient protocol that mitigates the occurrence of impermanent loss.
Since its inception in November '21, Ociswap started running extensive community-building campaigns, introduced the intuitive Ociswap cDEX and emerged as a leading pioneer in the Radix Ecosystem. Ociswap is proudly participating in the first cohort of the Radix Grants Program.
Ociswap's vision is to empower anyone to easily and securely exchange their digital assets wherever they are, whenever they desire to, and at a minimal cost.
Ociswap aspires to become the Radix Ecosystem's flagship DEX by delivering a feature-rich and convenient platform that elevates the trading experience to the next level. The cultivation of a vibrant, enticing and intriguing community around the platform is regarded to be essential.
The Ociswap project is named after the ocicat breed, which also serves as our mascot. Ocicat lives on the Radix ledger and is in charge of the buckets that efficiently route all your tokens from vault to vault.
Ociswap considers memes to be a compelling and unifying instrument that we can leverage to build our community and market our platform. The team aims to utilise memes and the Ocicat mascot to differentiate itself from the mundane ‘corporate’ character and present itself as a devoted yet lighthearted and whimsy project.
