IguanaDEX, a new decentralized exchange (DEX), has been launched on Etherlink, the Tezos Layer 2 rollup network. The platform enables users to trade and earn cryptocurrencies without relying on centralized exchanges or intermediaries.

Trading and Earning on IguanaDEX

IguanaDEX allows users to “TRADE your crypto and EARN more crypto.” The platform facilitates token swaps at market rates and permits the creation of liquidity pools without permissions. It emphasizes the simplicity of the process: “All you need is an EVM wallet and some XTZ tokens on Etherlink.”

Supported wallets include MetaMask, Rabby Wallet, and Coinbase Wallet.

Bridging Tokens to Etherlink

To participate, users may need to bridge tokens from other networks to Etherlink. The Etherlink Bridge supports token transfers from various chains, such as BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon. A written guide is available to assist users, illustrating how to bridge tokens like USDT from BNB Chain to Etherlink. There is also a video from Trilitech below showing how to bridge tokens to Etherlink.

Notably, the bridge “will send a small amount of XTZ tokens to your address on Etherlink if you do not already have some in your wallet,” ensuring users have the necessary tokens to submit transactions on Etherlink.

Liquidity Provision and Rewards

IguanaDEX highlights the importance of liquidity provision for seamless token swaps. Users providing liquidity receive LP Tokens and earn rewards in the form of trading fees and IGN token incentives. The platform acknowledges the risks and rewards associated with liquidity provision, noting that net profit and loss depend on “the fees received by liquidity providers—which are paid by the traders—and the risk of impermanent loss.”

Security Audits and Contract Transparency

Security is a key focus for IguanaDEX. The platform is a “perfect fork of PancakeSwap,” leveraging the security audits conducted for PancakeSwap and Uniswap. Users can refer to the audits from Uniswap v2 and v3, as IguanaDEX utilizes similar smart contracts without significant modifications.

Token Addresses

For transparency, IguanaDEX provides the contract addresses for various tokens on Etherlink, including:

  • Wrapped XTZ (WXTZ): 0xc9B53AB2679f573e480d01e0f49e2B5CFB7a3EAb
  • Iguana Token (IGN): 0x17F9805664347022b59a8F67C1b8237b0AC5E89B
  • Tether USD (USDT): 0x2C03058C8AFC06713be23e58D2febC8337dbfE6A
  • USD Coin (USDC): 0x796Ea11Fa2dD751eD01b53C372fFDB4AAa8f00F9
  • Wrapped Ether (WETH): 0xfc24f770F94edBca6D6f885E12d4317320BcB401

DefiLlama Now Tracking IguanaDEX
