DFYN is a multi-chain Decentralized Exchange (DEX) that aims to create an inclusive DeFi ecosystem integrated with an optimized Automated Market Maker (AMM). It aims to provide a faster, cheaper, fairer, and more accessible platform for a better multi-chain blockchain universe. Their main goal is to provide a platform to host the next wave of crypto users in the DeFi world. 

Team Behind the Project

For starters, most of the code from the DFYN project has been made open source, where you can check its progress and development here. It is backed up by some major investors and has a good group of partners. The project aims to tackle some of the issues with the current AMM DEX platforms for a better user experience.

Priyeshu: Co-Founder

The DFYN project was co-founded by Priyeshu. Eth G. in 2020 who also co-founded the Router Protocol in 2021. During his past experiences, he co-founded Streetingo: an Android-based street food aggregator in 2016. He worked as a Crypto Analyst from 2018 to 2020 until he started working on DFYN after gaining experience in crypto technology. 

As of now, DFYN is backed up by the following investors: 

Apart from that, DFYN’s partners include: 

DFYN also has an active community base where they regularly interact with the platform users. You can check the same on their telegram channel, and Twitter account for their latest news and updates.

Product Features and Future Scope

To begin with, DFYN is currently working as a multi-chain DEX but will soon transform into a cross-chain DEX in the future. This will allow the users to trade on any blockchain network to other blockchain networks of their choice. It will house an interactive UI where users can explore multi-chain trades, or they will be able to limit trades filled with a single chain. 

In addition, DFYN will soon launch its own Layer 2 Launchpad that will allow creators to enjoy the following benefits: 

• Get listed on the DEX
• Initiate farming plays and vesting with no code tools 
• Stake smart contracts on the platform
• Launch tokens on multiple chains 
• Undertake creative Layer 2 IDO strategies without the high ETH fees

Core Values of DFYN 

DFYN greatly emphasizes tackling the problems faced by existing DEX platforms. It aims to do so by offering the following features:

Blockchain Agnostic 

DFYN’s DEX aims to build a blockchain agnostic ecosystem that will work along with the other blockchain technologies. As a result, users can use the platform with any other blockchain network of their choice. Most importantly, it will allow creators to host DFYN nodes on the blockchain to help them earn passive income via fee collection.

Transparency 

Being a decentralized exchange, the platform offers complete transparency to its users. Since most of the code has been made open-source, it allows users to see how the platform operates and the development process on their GitHub platform.

Improved User Experience

Compared to most Layer 1 DEXs, it aims to offer a better experience by offering smart order routing and zero gas transactions. Most transaction costs will be a fraction of the costs in the Ethereum network and will be up to 10 times faster.

How DFYN Solves Existing Problems?

DFYN is continuously moving forward to build a network across various Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains. This will benefit DFYN by making them a cross-chain ecosystem with the help of their Router Protocol. As a result, DFYN can plug into various liquidity sources across different chains. Accomplishing a cross-chain bridge will help improve price discovery and efficiency and prevent liquidity fragmentation. 

Currently, DFYN is available on Fantom and Polygon but will soon be available on BSC, HEC, AVALANCHE, POLKADOT, ALGORAND, and more. On Polygon itself, DFYN was able to eliminate gas fees with the integration of meta transactions. Moreover, users can earn fees or use, exchange, or swap tokens if they offer supply to other liquidity pools. 

Tokenomics

For any crypto project, tokenomics play an important role in becoming the deciding factor for investment. It helps the investors understand the project’s future scope and its long-term objectives. Hence, the tokenomics for DFYN are as follows:

Allocations	Token %	Vesting
Reward Pool	30%	Based on mining/farming initiatives
Ecosystem Fund	17.45%	Unlock 3% on TGE followed by linear vesting for a period of 1.5 years

Revenue Sharing

For every trade done on the platform, there is a 0.3% fee charged for the same. Out of this, 0.05% is distributed to the users who stake tokens in the vDFYN vault. After that, 0.25% is distributed to the liquidity providers in proportion to their contribution to the liquidity pool.

Roadmap

DFYN has crossed various milestones since its inception in 2020. The latest version of DFYN exchange currently offers gasless transactions and is superfast. This iteration supports OKExChain, Arbitrum, Fantom, and Polygon. Apart from that, the Router’s XCLP’s testnet version is live, allowing users to swap various assets, including DFYN, ROUTE, ETH, MATIC, DAI, USDC, and USDT, between testnets of Polygon (Mumbai) and Ethereum (Kovan).

DFYN Vs Existing DEXs

Most existing DEXs like Sushiswap and Uniswap allow users to trade assets on a single chain. However, the platform aims to become a multi-chain DEX by allowing users to trade assets across various blockchains. The multi-chain DEX also offers gasless transactions with the help of smart order routing. As a result, it ensures a better user experience than existing Layer 1 DEXs.
