WOO Network

WOO Network is a network that seeks to connect traders, exchanges, institutions, and DeFi platforms. It aims to democratize access to high-quality liquidity and trading execution at lower or no cost. The WOO Token is used within the network's CeFi and DeFi products for staking and fee reductions. The network has developed a diverse set of products and services that interface with retail, institutions, CeFi, and DeFi. These include WOO X, a trading platform that does not charge fees, and WOOFi, a decentralized exchange deployed across select DeFi protocols and applications.

WOO Network operates through its two main products: WOO X and WOOFi. WOO X is a trading platform that does not charge fees and aims to provide professional and institutional traders with superior liquidity options and execution. It features fully customizable modules for workspace customization. On the other hand, WOOFi is a decentralized exchange that aims to provide users with enhanced on-chain liquidity and execution. It currently provides swaps, WOO staking, and yield-generating pools on BNB Chain and Avalanche. WOO Network also provides liquidity as a service for institutional clients, aiming to enhance their order books to a depth comparable to other exchanges and tighten their bid/ask spread.

WOO Network has a variety of potential use cases, particularly for traders, exchanges, institutions, and DeFi platforms. For traders, the network's trading platform that does not charge fees, WOO X, aims to provide a customizable workspace with superior liquidity options and execution. For exchanges and institutions, WOO Network provides liquidity as a service, aiming to enhance their order books and tighten their bid/ask spread. For DeFi platforms, WOOFi, the network's decentralized exchange, aims to provide enhanced on-chain liquidity and execution. Additionally, the WOO Token can be used for staking and obtaining fee reductions within the network's CeFi and DeFi products.

WOO Network was incubated in 2019 by Kronos Research, a multi-strategy trading firm with a focus on market making, arbitrage, CTA, and high-frequency trading. The network launched on October 30, 2020, with 3 billion WOO tokens created at genesis. The tokens were distributed through private and public sales, team allocation, advisor allocation, and ecosystem support. The network has since developed a diverse set of products and services that interface with retail, institutions, CeFi, and DeFi, including WOO X and WOOFi.
