Top highlights from JediSwap in the last month

JediSwap continues leading Starknet in TVL

Even with a period of stagnation and a minor decrease in capital inflow on Starknet, JediSwap continues to be the leading dapp, accounting for over 30% of the whole ecosystem's TVL.

Upcoming launches and campaigns are poised to pave the way for both JediSwap and the entire ecosystem to return to their natural growth phase.

Gitcoin: A testament to our large and engaged community

JediSwap boasts one of the largest communities within the Starknet ecosystem and, arguably, throughout the entire crypto realm. Our strength is evident in every Gitcoin campaign we participate in, as we consistently rank among the top scorers.

For example, in the recent Web3 Open Source Software round, JediSwap ranked second in both the number of contributors and the total funds raised.

A heartfelt thank you to our community for your unwavering support ❤️.

Participate in JediSwap community campaigns

Starknet ID has released JediSwap tower, which you can use in your city building. Anyone who had the JediSwap NFT with the previous Starknet ID quest can claim the JediSwap tower as well.

Focustree also launched a garden for the JediSwap community. Focustree helps people create concentration habits from mobile phones. Currently, JediSwap has 100 spots in Focustree Garden. If you are a JediSwap contributor, reach out on our Discord to get access.

FacesToSee plans to use JediSwap pools for swaps

We are pleased to announce a partnership with FaceToSee, an emerging NFT collection and gaming hub on Starknet. As part of this alliance, JediSwap's liquidity pools will support FacesToSee's requirements. This collaboration will introduce new use cases for JediSwap, leading to increased volume and APR for our liquidity providers.

Layer3 launches onchain campaign for top four Starknet dapps, including JediSwap

JediSwap is excited to be part of the latest Layer3 campaign. Swap or add liquidity on JediSwap, accumulate points, and ascend the Layer 3 rankings!
