Singapore, March 16, 2022 — MojitoSwap, the first decentralized exchange (DEX) on the KuCoin Community Chain, announced it has obtained a strategic investment from KuCoin Labs to support the development of MojitoSwap in the KCC ecosystem. This is KuCoin Labs’ first investment round in MojitoSwap and is also the first time that KuCoin Labs has directly invested in the KCC ecological native project.
The investment from KuCoin Labs will help MojitoSwap improve its products, operations, branding and liquidity. MojitoSwap will gradually improve its liquidity-mining mechanism, expand support for nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and create a more friendly product experience for users. MojitoSwap will also accelerate support for native and cross-chain currencies on KCC, with more projects later launched on the MojitoSwap Launchpad and Bar functions.
This investment round will gradually lead to more diversified resource exchanges between KuCoin Exchange, MojitoSwap and KCC, helping KuCoin strengthen its development in decentralized ecology.
MojitoSwap was officially launched in October 2021 and successively launched its Trade, Bar, Wine Pools, Nonfungible Token (NFT) and Launchpad functions, among others. It ranked first in total value locked and user rankings on KCC. With the support of the KCC community, MojitoSwap has become one of the most anticipated DEXs on the KCC chain with its rich layout of product functions.
Not long ago, MojitoSwap’s platform currency, MJT, was officially launched on KuCoin — the first time that KuCoin had supported a KCC ecological native project. MojitoSwap Launchpad also completed its initial DEX offering sale of the virtual mining project CoolMining in the first two weeks, assisting CoolMining in obtaining nearly $1 million in sales in a few hours.
Gloria, chief media officer of MojitoSwap said, “MojitoSwap, as the first DEX on the KCC chain, is honored to have the support of KCC community users and KuCoin Labs. MojitoSwap is one of the basic protocols on the KCC chain. At the opening of the KCC Unicorn Contest, I hope to use this investment to cooperate with more KCC ecological projects to jointly build the future of MojitoSwap and KCC. At the same time, we will also focus on promoting the further development of decentralized finance (DeFi), GameFi, Web3, and NFT-related tracks.”
