NEKO DEX 😺

A Cute Cat-Themed DeFi Protocol on Fantom , Polygon and OKTC Networks

Problem Statement:

The traditional financial system often lacks transparency, accessibility, and inclusivity. Additionally, many charitable organizations struggle to raise funds consistently. To address these challenges, NEKO DEX aims to provide a decentralized finance (DeFi) solution on the Fantom, Polygon and OKX networks while supporting a cat charity foundation. The project seeks to create an engaging and user-friendly interface to encourage participation and donations within the crypto community.

Objective:

The main objective of NEKO DEX is to combine DeFi services with charitable giving, leveraging the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. The project aims to achieve the following:

1. Enable Decentralized Exchanges

NEKO DEX offers a decentralized exchange platform on the Polygon and OKX networks, allowing users to swap cryptocurrencies seamlessly while generating fees for the cat charity foundation. (0.3% fee on swap)

2. Liquidity Provision

Users can provide liquidity to the NEKO DEX ecosystem by participating in various dessert-themed liquidity pools. Liquidity providers earn rewards while contributing to the stability and liquidity of the platform.

3. Charitable Donations

All fees collected from swaps are donated to a cat charity foundation, fostering a culture of giving within the crypto community.

4. User Engagement

The visually appealing and interactive user interface, inspired by a cat cafe, creates an engaging experience for participants. Elements such as the bulletin board, leaderboard, and staking feature encourage user interaction and participation.

Supported Networks :

Currently supported networks include:

  • Fantom Mainnet
    • Fantom Testnet
    • OKT Testnet aka OKexChain Testnet
    • Polygon Mumbai Testnet

Features :

We currently have four major features at NEKO DEX

1. Decentralized Exchange

Swap tokens, and provide liquidity to generate fees, which are donated.
0.3% fee on swaps

2. Liquidity Provider Leaderboard

Lock your LP tokens to show everyone how much you love cats.

3. Post it note donations

Leave a thoughtful message for everyone to see with your donation.

4. AAVE Staking

Park your AAVE underlying tokens, or aTokens to generate lending fees, which are donated. You can withdraw at any time for your original balance

Additional Details

NEKO DEX emphasizes transparency, with a live tracker displaying the total amount donated in US dollars. This provides users with real-time updates on the impact their transactions are making towards the cat charity foundation.

The staking feature allows users to earn points based on the LP tokens they provide, the duration of their participation, and a scaling factor. This incentivizes liquidity provision and rewards participants who contribute the most to the NEKO DEX ecosystem.

How we used Chainlink

We used chainlink's price feed to track how much has been donated in USD in the file: RECEIVER_CHAINLINK_PRICEFEED.sol
We use chainlink price feed to track the ERC20 to it's equivalent amount in USD and then use that track the amount that is donated to the charity.
