Leandre, core member of KCC GoDAO Foundation, said, “As an important participant in the KuCoin Token (KCS) decentralized ecology, we expect to work together with KuCoin in exploring the hidden gem to achieve win-win cooperation and KCS’s self-circulating ecosystem. The KCC Unicorn Contest is only the beginning of our plan, followed by a hackathon and other on-chain incentives. Of course, we will continue to pay attention to the elite projects in this event. Apart from the prize, we would like to provide liquidity support, brand exposure and other incentives depending on the maturity of the projects. At the same time, as a fast-growing public chain, we welcome quality talents all over the world to join KCC and collaborate in Web3.”
By the end of the KCC Unicorn Contest, more than 60 projects had successfully deployed on KCC; the on-chain projects have interacted meaningfully with the KCS token project.
MojitoSwap, the current largest decentralized exchange (DEX) on KCC, has successfully launched on KuCoin and also received an investment from KuCoin Labs. With more projects developed on KCC, KuCoin’s centralized exchange KCC can achieve deep cooperation, providing investors with a one-stop service for crypto investments.
