Pangolin is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange (DEX) that operates on the Avalanche Network. It strives to provide a seamless experience for traders and projects through advanced tooling, deep liquidity, and smooth onboarding. The platform's native governance token, PNG, aims to empower the community to steer the development of the product. With a 100% community-focused token distribution model, all tokens are distributed directly to the community, without any allocations to advisors, investors, or insiders. The total supply of PNG is capped at 230 million tokens, with 83% of these tokens dedicated to incentivizing Liquidity Providers on Pangolin.

Pangolin operates as a multichain DEX, facilitating easy swaps and providing a range of tools for projects and traders. PNG token holders can stake their PNG and receive a share of protocol revenues. This is achieved through regular token buybacks, where 0.0425% of all trades are paid to the PNG staking pool. This mechanism allows stakers to receive APR on their PNG without experiencing impermanent loss. Pangolin also provides a variety of tools including token swaps, liquidity pools, yield farming, portfolio tracking, watchlists, and in-app news.

Pangolin aims to serve as a digital asset gateway, providing a platform for trading, staking, and making offerings of digital assets. It provides a variety of tools and features that cater to both projects and traders. These include token swaps, liquidity pools, yield farming, portfolio tracking, and watchlists. Pangolin also provides a DEX-as-a-Service (DAAS) where projects can directly integrate Pangolin's DEX widget into their decentralized application (dApp). This makes it a versatile platform for a variety of use cases in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.

Pangolin was launched in February 2021 on the Avalanche Network as a proof of concept for automated market makers (AMMs). In its first year, Pangolin facilitated over $15 billion dollars in trading volume. The platform is backed by a team of experts in finance, economics, business, marketing, blockchain development, software development, design, and community building. They are committed to building a decentralized trading platform and multi-chain hub. Pangolin aims to be on a multi-chain journey, with deployments on various networks including Hedera Network, Flare Network, EVMOS, and Near Protocol, among others.
