RE: Reimbursement Proposal for TeraBlock Hive CrossDEX - Milestone 1

in #hivelast year

Hi @mahdiyari!

Thank you for your comment. I want to address your concerns about centralisation and clarify our approach with Hive CrossDEX.

Firstly, decentralisation is fundamental to our operations, and we're transitioning to a DAO structure. This move aligns with Hive's core principle of decentralisation, which is a key reason we're committed to the Hive CrossDEX project.

Regarding the centralisation aspect you mentioned, our current focus is on enhancing the security and efficiency of our bridge watchers. We're collaborating with ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) to shift our core bridge event watchers to ICP canisters. This transition is crucial for bolstering our decentralised security framework.

Additionally, we're working with Partisia Blockchain to integrate Multiparty Computation (MPC) into our infrastructure. This integration aims to enhance the Hive blockchain's privacy, scalability, and security, further aligning with our decentralisation goals.

Lastly, in response to community feedback, we plan to open-source the codebase upon completing all six project milestones. This decision underscores our commitment to transparency, community engagement, and long-term sustainability.

We understand the importance of maintaining a decentralized ethos, especially in a community-driven ecosystem like Hive. We aim to uphold these values while delivering a robust and efficient DeFi platform.

so many words...
What about competition?
How many projects like that are there, cause it's nothing special? 10-30?
Is it something you made in cooperation with splinterlands and generally made money and now ask for more money?

Thank you for your comment. Let's address each of your concerns individually.

Competition
While many projects are working to solve cross-chain interoperability in DeFi, TeraBlock's CrossDEX stands out with its unique features. With the help of Swidge Protocol, TeraBlock enables seamless liquidity transfers across blockchains with a single click. Which results in the following

→ Zero Learning Curve: Instant Fiat to DeFi onboarding
→ Universal Liquidity: One-click multi-blockchain access
→ Streamlined Execution: Fewer transactions and wait times
→ Inclusive Financial Future: Making DeFi more accessible
→ Ironclad Security: Trustless, compliant, & secure
→ DAO Governance: Community-driven and transparent

What is the Swidge Protocol?
TeraBlock's Swidge Protocol is a cutting-edge one-click solution that simplifies cross-chain transactions in DeFi. It automates complex blockchain interactions like swapping and bridging, making DeFi accessible and user-friendly. Users can effortlessly transfer assets across different blockchains with just a single approval, lowering the technical barriers and learning curve typically associated with DeFi transactions.

We are unique in terms of our technology and DEX offerings. We have the required expertise and more than 2yrs of experience in the Hive ecosystem to make this happen.

Which other projects are offering to solve the DeFi infrastructure on Hive? Please list 10-30 projects so we can learn from their technology.

@gerber

Hive has a vibrant and active community, and decentralisation is at the heart of the blockchain. However, the irony is that to purchase Hive tokens, users have to rely on centralised exchanges. There is an urgent need for decentralised finance (DeFi) infrastructure.

If there is nothing special about our offering and the technology readily available, why is there no DeFi infrastructure on Hive? Please elaborate.

@gerber

You should try out a transaction, and then you will realise how seamless it is to bridge liquidity from EVM chains to Hive directly, without centralised exchanges.

Let me clarify the differences between what we've already built and what we're proposing with the CrossDEX on HIVE:

Existing Bridges: Currently, we have six custom-built bridges for SPS & DEC tokens, including BSC <> HIVE, ETH <> HIVE, and BSC <> ETH. We also have the Swidge Protocol for SPS & DEC tokens.

CrossDEX on HIVE

Expanded Blockchain Support: We plan to add over 10 blockchains, including both EVM and non-EVM chains.
Fiat Gateway: This will include both on-ramp and off-ramp functionalities.
Extended Liquidity Pools: Beyond HBD & HIVE, we aim to list various EVM & non-EVM tokens.
One-Click Swidge: Seamless switching between all supported blockchains.
Standalone Platform: CrossDEX will have its own dedicated domain, distinct from our current interface.
Web2 User-Friendly: Account abstraction for easy onboarding, automating complex Web3 processes to present a simple Web2 frontend.
Diverse Wallet Connectivity: Users will be able to connect various EVM and non-EVM wallets to the DEX.
Liquidity Staking Provision: A key addition is enabling users to provide liquidity in these pools, which is a major draw for DeFi enthusiasts and can significantly boost user engagement.

Building on Existing Foundations: Our work with Splinterlands and the upcoming GLS lays the groundwork for creating a DEX on HIVE. This move is strategic for attracting liquidity from leading chains and simplifying Web3 onboarding.

In essence, while our existing products have laid a solid foundation, the CrossDEX on HIVE is a significant leap forward, offering broader blockchain integration, enhanced liquidity options, and a more user-friendly experience, especially for those new to Web3.
