AdaSwap Raises $2.6M to Build First Working DEX on Cardano
A new decentralized barter activity is acquisitive to overcome Cardano’s scalability issues.
AdaSwap, a activity aiming to body an NFT barter and the aboriginal alive decentralized barter on Cardano, appear Tuesday that it had aloft $2.6 actor in a allotment annular led by angel advance belvedere iAngels. Multiple adventure basic firms and alone investors accept alternate in the round, including Shima Capital, Pluto Digital, GBV, Stardust, and extra and ambassador Gal Gadot.
According to a Wednesday columnist release, AdaSwap will use the allotment to “deliver on its ambition of architecture the best, decentralized barter on Cardano.” Despite actuality the ninth-largest cryptocurrency on the market, Cardano has lagged abaft added aggressive Layer 1 projects in ecosystem development. Its blockchain is EUTXO-based and architecturally abundant afterpiece to Bitcoin than to Ethereum, acceptation it’s decidedly harder to cipher acute affairs and body scalable decentralized applications on it.
As a result, Cardano is yet to see its aboriginal activity decentralized exchange, alike admitting such applications accept existed and functioned seamlessly on added Layer 1 blockchains for several years now. Instead of demography Cardano’s accommodation affair head-on, AdaSwap has absitively to body its decentralized barter on a Layer 2 protocol. “By architecture our acute affairs on a Layer 2 band-aid for Cardano, we are able to array and action affairs on the Layer 2 while eliminating the continued processing times that SundaeSwap is adversity from,” AdaSwap told Crypto Briefing.
While Adaswap is architecture a workaround for Cardano’s EUTXO problems, it is not the aboriginal decentralized barter to barrage on the network. SundaeSwap, addition arresting decentralized barter to barrage on Cardano, has faced bottleneck issues due to transaction throughput limitations imposed by the Cardano-specific affair of “concurrency.” Concurrency refers to the adeptness for assorted altered agents to collaborate with the aforementioned acute arrangement simultaneously. On Cardano, this adeptness is actual limited, authoritative it difficult for developers to body applications that await on college transaction throughputs to action properly.
“Sundae went alive alive the issue, while we pivoted our development seeing the delays from the Cardano Foundation apropos a fix or the Hydra update,” added AdaSwap. Further commenting on Cardano’s architectural limitations, the aggregation responded positively, saying:
“Cardano’s UTXO archetypal is actual agitative for us; there are a ton of decentralized applications that haven’t been anticipation of yet that can be created on it in a actual able way. With that said, acceptable dApps as we’re acclimated to from added blockchains, for example, EVM-based ones, accept a lot of differences that don’t acquiesce for accessible dApp porting.”
AdaSwap said that it has a “complete solution” for its NFT barter ADANFT and “a way around” Cardano’s accommodation affair for its decentralized exchange. Since ablution the Alonzo acute arrangement advancement aftermost September, Cardano’s built-in badge ADA has plummeted 69% from its best aerial amount of $3.09 to its accepted amount of $0.94.
Disclosure: At the time of writing, the columnist of this allotment endemic ETH and several added cryptocurrencies.
