Oui oui, July has certainly been non-stop for OpenOcean! From our Paris trip, several new deployments and loads of social events, July has been one of the busiest summers to-date! Several new platforms have turned on the OpenOcean liquidity taps and have integrated themselves into our vast partner network. There’s so much to cover, let’s begin 🚀
Major highlights of the month
In true OpenOcean style, we splashed down into Paris, France for EthCC 6! We took the time to meet with plenty of our existing partners but looked for the opportunity to network and make new friends and that’s exactly what we’ve done. Expect some big announcements over the coming weeks in regards to the partners we’re teaming up with 👀
With the popular OpenOcean API v3 seeing more and more use these days, we were delighted to hear that popular web3 wallet Krystal has added OpenOcean as a dedicated liquidity provider for in-wallet swaps! Now Krystal users will have access to the best possible trades across multiple different networks… that’s pretty cool isnt it!
You know we love to deploy on new chains, this month hasn’t been any different. With no shortage of L2 scaling solutions, we teamed up with ConsenSys to launch support for their brand new Zero-Knowledge Ethereum scaling solution, Linea!
We started by integrating Linea’s testnet. On testnet users were able to get a feel for using the network on OpenOcean, but also helped contribute towards the testing and ongoing performance towards mainnet. Then, following a lively testing phase, we launched on mainnet with loads of new partners SyncSwap, Horizon DEX, Echo DEX and Izumi Finance. If you missed it on twitter, we even got the chance to take over the Linea booth in Paris! ❤
Due to the most recent Polybridge exploit, the community has taken the decision to migrate the OOE contract to a new address, preventing the surreptitious selling of old OOE into existing liquidity pools. As such, we’ve launched an awesome campaign to expand liquidity, offer cash incentives and unlock the OpenOcean mysterio NFT, only for the first 2,000 people!
