SmolSwap Interview
Kahoobb: Welcome everyone to our Smolswap AMA! I would like to welcome @bean_smol. @bean_smol How are you? 🙂
Bean: I’m good! how about you?
Kahoobb: That’s good, doing great myself. Can you give us a little introduction about what your project entails and what your role is in it.
Bean: Hi everyone! Here’s short introduction to SmolSwap: SmolSwap is the cutest fair launch decentralised trading platform on the Cronos chain where you can trade and earn in a safe, simple, and fun manner. I am the Project Lead of SmolSwap so I do pretty much everything else outside of dev work haha
Kahoobb: Nice! I do like your logo, very cute! So what utility does $SMOL bring to it’s investors?
Bean: $SMOL captures the economic benefit of the whole SmolSwap ecosystem and will also be used for governance purposes in the future. We are also looking to build a suite of products that will be using $SMOL and so in general, we’re looking to create more use cases for $SMOL
Kahoobb: Great, sounds like we are very early to smolswap 😄 There are many other dexes out there, what does smolswap bring to the table that is unique? Can be something as simple as art design as we all know how that can play a big role in gaining dex dominance
Bean: yes we are very early indeed! For one, I think we definitely stand out in art design. but the art design also reflects our vision of making things fun in defi. another intention we had was to attract more females into defi as we think it’s currently dominated by males haha
And also in line with our vision of making things fun, we are also looking to build games like lottery etc. we are still deciding on this.
Kahoobb: Great vision, defi is for everyone! Excited for those future games. So for the $SMOL Token, what do the tokenomics look like?
Bean: $SMOL currently has no hardcap, which is common for a dex. but we have deflationary measures in place as can be seen here: https://smolswap.gitbook.io/smolswap/tokenomics/controlling-smol-supply
Kahoobb: Reduction of block emissions, token burns, wow pretty cool! Good to see that smolswap has kept inflation in mind to make deflationary measures.
Bean: yup we are definitely aware of the need for deflationary measures with a token that has no hardcap
Kahoobb: I noticed on smolswap the different farms you offer, if I am correct, they currently are all large cap coins, can we expect to see smaller cap cronos altcoins on your farms in the future?
Bean: yes absolutely. as our farm pools only launched less than 3 days ago, we’re starting with the large caps first but we’re slowly moving to altcoins. this requires us reaching out to projects to convince them to list their native tokens with us. we have started with autofarm (although some would say they’re still a large cap coin)
Kahoobb: Wow they are very new! And getting autofarm, that’s a great start to getting altcoins! Sounds like partnerships may be on their way. very exciting.
Bean: yup and we’re also monitoring the projects that are coming in. as of now, there hasnt been too many in my opinion
Kahoobb: I know you touched on this a little bit already but do you have any plans to add more features or utility into smolswap in the near future such as NFTs, lotteries or anything like this? Is there any specifics?
Bean: as far as features are concerned, we’re current focused on building up our Farm and also start working on Smol Pools where SMOL holders can stake SMOL and earn another token. Concurrently, we’re also exploring games/lotteries and IDO/launchpad. NFTs would be a bigger project so that would come after the aforementioned. Then followed by our risk adjusted products as a longer term plan
Kahoobb: That’s great to hear, sounds like there is a lot to come for smolswap, great to know a SMOL pool will be releasing to earn other altcoins, very cool concept.
