Merkle Trade, the first gamified perpetual futures decentralized exchange (DEX) based on Aptos, the secure, scalable and feature-rich Layer-1 blockchain, is introducing its Token Generation Event (TGE) Sequence, uniquely featuring both Genesis Staking and a Liquidity Bootstrapping Auction (LBA). Backed by prominent investors like Hashed and Arrington Capital, Merkle Trade is building off the success of Genesis Staking that began July 25th, to launch its LBA running from August 29th to September 5th. 

The LBA will offer early users exclusive USDC rewards for staking for an extended period. Merkle Trade differentiates from other perpetual DEXes with its focus on accessible and enjoyable trading for everyone, including casual traders. Users can start trading perpetual futures with as little as $2 in collateral, while enjoying gas-free transactions and a seamless user experience with order execution that doesn’t require constant signatures (i.e. 1-click trading). Its focus on user-friendly features has driven rapid growth, with Merkle Trade surpassing $12.9 billion in cumulative trading volume and attracting over 124,500 traders while becoming one of the top fee-generating protocols on Aptos.

Building off this traction, the project has launched a unique Token Generation Event (TGE) Sequence, introducing Genesis Staking and the Liquidity Bootstrapping Auction (LBA) as different ways for users to engage with the platform. These options are tailored to benefit both existing users and newcomers to provide diverse strategies to secure MKL tokens, manage positions, and earn additional rewards.

Genesis Staking allows preMKL holders to retain their MKL tokens while earning USDC rewards. These rewards are sourced from a portion of the protocol’s revenue and include access to a special reward pool with up to $200,000 in additional benefits. An impressive milestone has been reached with over 3 million preMKL tokens staked for an average duration of more than 20 weeks, accounting for over 22% of the circulating supply at the time of the token launch.

Liquidity Bootstrapping Auction (LBA) offers an opportunity for both existing users and newcomers to deposit USDC and/or preMKL over a 7-day period, during which the ratio between the two assets will establish the initial launch price of the MKL token. In return, participants receive MKL-USDC LP tokens, which come with dual rewards, including a share of 1% of the total MKL supply and trading fees generated by the pool.

Participants are encouraged to carefully evaluate their financial goals and the unique benefits of each option within the TGE Sequence. Both Genesis Staking and the LBA are designed to offer valuable opportunities, allowing users to select the path that best aligns with their individual objectives. To assist in making informed decisions, the team has provided an $MKL TGE Cheatsheet, offering clear and concise guidance on navigating these options.

For more details and updates on how to participate in the LBA, users are encouraged to stay tuned to Merkle Trade’s official channels (X, Discord, dApp).

Abu Dhabi, UAE, August 29th, 2024, Chainwire

Layer 1 blockchain Kaia has announced its mainnet launch alongside the Kaia Wave builder support program by Kaia and LINE NEXT to accelerate consumer adoption of web3 services. Created through a merger between the L1 chains Klaytn and Finschia initially developed by Kakao and LINE respectively – both operators of popular Asian messaging apps – Kaia aims to become a major web3 ecosystem that has onboarded more than 400 partners.

The Kaia mainnet will go live on August 29 as the world’s fastest EVM blockchain with one-second finality, ultra-low gas fees, and support from leading Asian web3 partners including Kakao and LINE NEXT, LINE’s venture dedicated to developing and expanding the Web3 ecosystem.

Kaia aims to solve web3’s UX and distribution challenges via deep integration with leading Asian messengers. This will support a thriving ecosystem of DeFi, gaming, RWAs, and messenger apps running on scalable web3 infrastructure.

Using the NEXT WEB SDK package that includes the Kaia Wallet SDK, Kaia Wallet Market API and LINE LIFF API, Kaia builders will be able to create LINE Mini Dapps that launch within the LINE messenger, bringing Telegram-style native app integration. Leveraging Kaia’s low TX latency, account abstraction, and fee delegation features, developers can create end-to-end seamless UX while extending their reach to hundreds of millions of LINE users across Asia.

The Kaia Wave builder support program developed by Kaia and LINE NEXT will provide up to $1.2M worth of marketing, tech, and business support per eligible team, with grants available to builders who leverage the NEXT WEB SDK. Teams will also benefit from TGE and liquidity support as well as follow-up VC connections.

Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation, said: “The much-anticipated launch of the Kaia mainnet heralds a new era for the mass consumer adoption of blockchain-based services. Kaia will bring web3 to the rest of the world, starting from Asia.”

“The launch of the Kaia mainnet is an important momentum for the LINE NEXT business as well, and I think it has started an important first step toward expanding the Asian Web3 ecosystem.” said Youngsu Ko, CEO of LINE NEXT Inc. “LINE NEXT will focus on bringing new experiences to users with the new Web3 platform and LINE Mini Dapps through Kaia Wave.”

Klaytn’s blockchain technology is already widely used in South Korea for an array of consumer-facing use cases such as loyalty programs and medical implant certificates. Finschia blockchain, meanwhile, powers the popular DOSI digital commerce platform where anyone can purchase memberships, access passes, concert tickets, and NFTs using crypto or fiat. The merger of these blockchains will ensure strong adoption from day one as projects such as DOSI migrate to Kaia.
