What Is Dfyn? (DFYN)
Dfyn is a platform that operates as a multichain AMM with nodes spread on different blockchains. A node basically refers to a computer linked on a blockchain network. At the same time, an automated market maker (AMM) is a part of DEX that removes any intermediaries in crypto assets trading. The AMMs enable sharing liquidity and cross-chain digital asset swaps. Thus, the Dfyn platform aims to build a multichain ecosystem that provides a trustless, decentralized exchange (DEX) along with a fast gasless AMM.
Dfyn seeks to improve DeFi’s scalability and congestion. Dfyn also addresses DeFi’s high gas fees, fragmented liquidity pools, low throughput, and poorer user experience. As a solution, Dfyn nodes are spread across multiple Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains, thus allowing users to perform their asset trades seamlessly on several blockchains from a single interface. Further, the platform’s AMM optimization seeks to overcome the issues faced by traditional AMMs, including any impermanent loss.
Dfyn operates on Polygon and Fantom. By relying on Polygon, the network ensures that transactions are carried out instantly. And by using the two blockchains, the platform resolves the problem of scalability.
DFYN is the ecosystem’s native token with multiple utilities, such as giving token holders the right to participate in the platform’s governance by voting on Dfyn’s proposals regarding protocol amendments and upgrades. Moreover, a 0.3% fee is charged on every trade done on the platform, of which 0.25% is distributed to the liquidity providers in proportion to their contribution to the liquidity pool. And 0.05% goes to the DFYN treasury for buybacks and gas subsidies.
