Top highlights from JediSwap in the last two weeks

TVL on Starknet continues to grow, and JediSwap consolidates its position as the leader

Currently, more than $15m is deposited on the DeFi applications of Starknet, with more than $8m on JediSwap. This represents more than 50% of the entire network TVL on JediSwap!

58k people become eligible for LP Contest

In the last two weeks, 8k more people became eligible for LP contest NFTs as they kept their liquidity for over 30 days. With only three weeks left to the LP campaign, the race to come on top for the LP contest points gets to the final stage. There are six different types of NFTs as rewards. You will get different levels of NFTs based on your final score once the contest ends after three weeks.

We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to add more liquidity to your existing positions to increase your chances of winning a higher-level NFT while enjoying the juicy APYs from the trading fees.
