Why Does Haven1 Need a Native DEX Like hSwap?
Trading on external DEXs comes with its share of challenges: fragmented liquidity, inefficiencies, MEV issues, and security risks. Haven1 tackles these head-on with hSwap by building a DEX tailored to its permissioned ecosystem.
Here’s what sets hSwap apart:
Enhanced Security:
- No Copy-Paste Tokens: On most DEXs, users can accidentally buy fraudulent or duplicate tokens. With Haven1’s permissioned ecosystem, developers must whitelist their tokens, ensuring users trade legitimate assets only.
- Risk-Free LP Rewards: Liquidity providers (LPs) on hSwap earn rewards without needing to stake their LP tokens. This reduces risk exposure significantly.
- Audited and Monitored: hSwap has undergone two rigorous audits, a requirement for every application on Haven1. This minimizes the risk of exploits and ensures malicious contracts can’t be deployed to take advantage of users.
Efficient Execution:
- Unlike other DEXs plagued by MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) vulnerabilities, Haven1 prevents MEV bots from deploying on the network. This ensures fairer and more efficient trades for all users.
Maximally aligned with Haven1
- hSwap doesn't have its own separate token like Uniswap, Pancakeswap or Aerodrome etc,. Instead, hSwap is governed by H1, which is the same token for Haven1 network and all its core protocols. This means hSwap is incentivised to operate in the longer term interest of the network instead of squeezing most of the fees from users of the network to enrich some VCs or separate token holders. This also creates a unique flywheel that has been missing in DEFI. More users on the network lead to more users using hSwap which leads to more fees which leads to higher rewards to H1 stakers which in turn incentives a lot more users to onboard Haven1
- Haven1's DEX operates on a non-extractive model, ensuring that value generated within the ecosystem benefits its users directly. Unlike many Dexs, such as Uniswap, that impose Front-End (FE) fees, Haven1 eliminates this layer of cost, making trading more user-friendly and cost-effective.Instead of percentage-based fees that can grow exorbitantly on large trades, Haven1 applies a fixed application fee, which is minimal and designed solely to sustain the operational integrity of the product. This approach ensures:
- Lower Trading Costs: Users save significantly on large trades compared to platforms like Uniswap, where FE fees can become disproportionately high.
- Aligned Incentives: Fees are directed towards maintaining the product rather than enriching separate token holders, ensuring the ecosystem thrives in a sustainable, user-first manner.
- DEXs that aren't aligned with the network and its users are incentivized to offer users a trade even if the price isn't optimal. This isn't the case with hSwap. hSwap with its off chain trade execution capabilities will ensure the user gets the best price even if it means less fee on hSwap
By addressing these pain points, hSwap provides a safe, efficient, and aligned trading experience for users.
