- QuickSwap introduces a transformative DAO proposal, hinting at a future alliance between Polygon and Cosmos ecosystems.
- The proposal focuses on synergies between QuickSwap’s QuickPerps and Kinetix’s Perpetual Exchange, intending to enhance liquidity and drive growth.
Seizing Shared Visions in DeFi Expansion
QuickSwap, an eminent entity within the Polygon ecosystem, has once again been a harbinger of innovation in the decentralized finance (DeFi) arena. The company’s recent DAO proposal illuminates the potential for a strategic alliance between Polygon and Cosmos ecosystems, seeking to unify efforts between the long-standing Polygon DeFi platform, QuickSwap, and the rapidly ascending DeFi hub, Kinetix. Kinetix has been on the DeFi radar, especially post its August introduction on Kava, a principal application-chain in Cosmos’ IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol).
Synergies in Perpetual Contracts: Building Together
At the heart of this proposal is the quest to identify and exploit shared goals and functionalities between QuickSwap’s newly introduced perpetual exchange platform, dubbed QuickPerps, and Kinetix’s maiden platform, the Kinetix Perpetual Exchange. The DAO envisions supporting Kinetix’s nascent growth with a staggering $300-$500 million liquidity boost in the immediate future, with plans to perpetually amplify the TVL (Total Value Locked).
Kava’s alliance with Tether has solidified its position as the quintessential hub for minting Cosmos-native USDt. Clocking in over $100 million in native USDt minting, Kava is rapidly sculpting its stature as the go-to chain for Cosmos-based DeFi operations. Subsequent to Kava’s rise, Kinetix has flourished as the chain’s prime destination for avant-garde DeFi solutions.
On the flip side, QuickSwap’s origins trace back to its role as a trailblazer in the Polygon realm. Their inaugural platform, the QuickSwap DEX launched in 2020, was instrumental in highlighting Polygon’s unique scalability attributes, notably the Polygon PoS chain. This chain leverages the Tendermint consensus, a brainchild of Cosmos’s visionaries.
Drawing from its legacy of championing nascent technologies with immense potential, like Dogechain and Polygon‘s zkEVM chain, QuickSwap’s move towards a collaboration with Kinetix and Kava isn’t just strategic—it’s visionary.
Towards A Symbiotic Future: Polygon Meets Cosmos
The convergence of ideologies and technical foundations between QuickSwap, Kinetix, and Kava suggests a larger, holistic collaboration evolving between Polygon and Cosmos. These two ecosystems, both rooted in analogous principles and often spearheaded by overlapping innovators, are poised on the brink of defining a unified roadmap. This potential fusion of industry titans promises to reshape the DeFi landscape, offering a significant push to the ever-evolving Web3 domain.
