The Polkastarter blog has moved! Visit https://blog.polkastarter.com to stay up to date with Polkastarter.

Polkastarter is a DEX built for cross-chain token pools and auctions, enabling projects to raise capital on a decentralized, permissionless, and interoperable environment based on Polkadot. In order to optimize platform usage, it’s crucial to incentivize liquidity through community rewards and partnerships.

We couldn’t be more excited with the long-term partnerships we have established over the last few weeks and are looking forward to working closely with our partners to build an integrated DeFi ecosystem that will ultimately empower the user.

We will be constantly updating this article with our new partnerships, which we will announce over the coming weeks.

Our current partners:

Moonbeam Network

Moonbeam’s technology offers us an efficient way to re-deploy our current Solidity code to Polkadot with limited changes needed. This is a key advantage of Moonbeam as it cuts down the developer time and resources required to make such a migration. Moonbeam is able to transpile Solidity and other Ethereum-native logic & code to be compatible with Substrate and Web3 environments on Polkadot.

“We are very excited to be working with Moonbeam in this partnership. The technology that Moonbeam provides will save us time and effort, in order to bring better products to our users, faster. This is an important step towards making truly autonomous and decentralized cross-chain swaps and token sales a reality.” — Daniel Stockhaus, CEO of Polkastarter.

Shyft Network

Polkastarter is partnering with Shyft Network, a blockchain public protocol that allows encrypted, attested and secure data transfers while enabling anyone to develop applications and infrastructure for global citizenship, trusted data and regulatory-compliant privacy, to provide an end-to-end global whitelisting solution for all pool creators, and to provide new opt-in compliance primitives for institutional capital formation and compliant defi offers. With this integration, Polkastarter provides every pool creator the option of activating a mandatory and fully compliant KYC process.

Daniel Stockhaus, Polkastarter CEO says, “It is very important to give the right tools to projects who want to use Polkastarter to raise funds in a legally compliant way. Adding an optional KYC feature, powered by Shyft Network, is key to guaranteeing that projects can raise money in a legal and sustainable manner.”

Covalent

Polkastarter is excited to announce a technical partnership with Covalent, a unified API service that brings together data points from blockchain systems to serve the needs of DeFi, and other blockchain applications. Polkastarter enables decentralized projects to raise and exchange capital cheap and fast in a secure and compliant environment using ERC-20 based assets and more. This partnership between Polkastarter and Covalent will bring more transparency and anti-scam measures to token sales facilitated on the Polkastarter Ecosystem.

“Polkastarter is excited to integrate Covalent’s data tools and technology into our ecosystem. One of the key aspects of Polkastarter is creating a safe environment for anyone to do token sales and swaps, in an honest and transparent fashion. Having Covalent’s suite of data tools available to our users, pool creators and token sale projects will augment the anti-scam measures and safety features we offer to our users. We look forward to a fruitful long-term partnership.” says Daniel Stockhaus, CEO of Polkastarter

Orion Protocol

Polkastarter is integrating with Orion Protocol to use Orion’s Liquidity Boost Plugin, enriching Polkastarter’s DEX with bottomless cross-exchange liquidity to provide automated liquidity to token swaps and pools. With this integration, Polkastarter guarantees constant activity and liquidity on several ERC-20 token pools.

Daniel Stockhaus, Polkastarter CEO, considers that “As the leader for liquidity solutions in the decentralized ecosystem, Orion Protocol is the perfect partner for Polkastarter’s liquidity demands. With this integration, our platform will always be active and provide great buying opportunities”.

Please refer to our article “Polkastarter Integrates With Orion Protocol For Automated Liquidity Provision” for further information regarding this partnership.

DIA (Decentralized Information Asset)

Polkastarter is partnering with DIA (Decentralized Information Asset) as a part of its plan to decentralize DeFi and DeFi data sourcing products. With this partnership the Swiss-based, open-source oracle platform DIA will enable sourcing, verification, and use of data from its network participants in the Polkastarter Ecosystem.

One of the main goals of this partnership is to have DIA as the main provider of decentralized oracles for ERC-20 prices, which will be used for Polkastarter’s high slippage alert features. With DIA’s technology, pools on Polkastarter will have built-in alert systems that warn users if current prices are too high, or if a certain trade will incur significant slippage.

“DIA is the ideal oracle partner for Polkastarter, which needs quick access to price feeds that power high slippage alerts. Thanks to DIA integration our users can swap in a fair, transparent and secure environment.”, says Daniel Stockhaus, Polkastarter’s CEO on the new partnership.
