[Shipped] Increase Incognito pDEX volume and liquidity pools

No, pDEX will not have any changes. Users still need to deposit/withdraw in pDEX screen.

pDEX screen will be changed to new flow after buying PRV work properly.

I read it as a general “no need to deposit/withdraw”, but it only relates to buying PRV. Got it, thanks.

Liquidity in the PRV-USDt dex skyrocketed, great job @andrey!

Some updates from the growth activity

We got quite good results for the first week of the campaign;
+$65k in total for pBTC & pXMR pools
+$690k in total for USDT & USDC pairs
Please find details below.

The same time we faced problems for attracting liquidity from monero & communities and collected several request for improvements.

  • difficult to convince people to add liquidity who see PRV in the firs time
  • not clear guidance for adding/removing liquidity
  • difficult to manage staked assets (dashboard with details)
  • some confuses from users who trade with “empty” liquidity pools

All feedback are added to the backlog and team work on improvements.


Below you can find a breakdown of changes of the liquidity pools.

liquidity pool PRV /pBTC (~$50k)

Those are fantastic results, and interesting feedback from those communities.
I have a question: Is the increase in liquidity for those pairs shrinking the pools for other pairs, and if so, is that fine? Are people just moving their prv one pair to a different one, or is it mostly new?

yep, for BTC & XMR I assume that funds moved from BTC <> XMR pair to BTC <> PRV & XMR <> PRV.

I think it’s totally ok, coz it make more liquidity focused on just 2-4 pairs which allows higher trading supply.

hey @andrey and @tien, - thanks for the update. the initial numbers look good, and you guys are doing a great job at handling user support too. i’m looking forward to the first reward payout tonight!

just wanted to follow up on this:

is there a plan for this week to address these points? adding a little ‘warning’ notification for low liquidity pools would definitely help decrease incidences where users get markedly different prices from what they expect.

notice you sent an email out requesting for feedback late last week. did you receive any interesting insights?

given that there are now loads of different ‘staking’ options, i was also wondering whether it could be potentially confusing that pDEX contributions are also called pDEX staking. any ideas?

  1. Yep I got 14 valuable feedback form PRV holders regarding improvements for the product side
  • making dash board with liquidity pools data & current earnings
  • importing pdex accounts
  • several security questions

Also got several feedback from BTC users in terms earning interest on their BTC

  • most of concerns of bitcoiners is controlling their coins.
  1. Was shown a trading issue in terms of trades with empty pools.

So this week we plan to add pop up notification if the liquidity pool is empty and if it could affect users trade

  1. I am thinking about to add to the program pETH <> PRV pair since it’s has trust-less set up, I could work for the group of users for whom it’s a critical requirements.
  1. Yep, also thinking about to change the naming
  2. Working on making APR more interesting for liquidity providers
  3. Going to have calls with big EHT holders and to understand how to convince them to participate in providing liquidity

Feedback from users

I was talking with many of our community members and tried to identify why they prefer to add liquidity or do not add liquidity to the pools. I found that user prefer to use trust-less bridge which is implemented to to ethereum.

For the last week of the month, I’ll focus on ETH holders especially for them who participated in uniswap, will try to convince them to try out our liquidity pools.

Awesome news, also worth mentioning the recent liquidity boom led to an outstanding rally on the PRV market

Great! fantastic result. i’ll be glad to know what activities did it take to get this result? Do you have any plan to update the UI for the “add liquidity” feature on the mobile app? It will be better for users to know all benefits they will have when they use this feature, especially the interest.

@andrey focusing on the PRV-ETH pair makes sense, especially one of our key initiatives in the coming months are pEthereum.

@ning @binh it would be good to see an update on the product side too. i concur with @zon, add liquidity screen in the app is really hard to understand. it would be best if wen can explain the benefits of adding liquidity right there in the app.
