WOOFi
The new WOOFi pool WOO/USDC went live on the Polygon ecosystem, being the fourth pool available alongside BTC/USDC, ETH/USDC and MATIC/USDC. These pools are all part of Wootrade’s efforts to improve capital efficiency in the space, by linking CeFi market-making and liquidity with all the benefits of DeFi.
WOO X
Wootrade hit a big milestone of 50 assets now tradable on the network. Community favorites such as USDC, AXS and AVAX came onboard, alongside MKR, ASD, YFI, KSM and XTZ.
Following WOO X going into Open Beta in June, July saw lots of updates for the platform, both on the front end and back end, as it prepares for the WOO X live launch on August 20th. Back-end updates include:
- Optimization of the API private key, improving security on WOO X
- Optimization of the Order/Trade query interface to improve query efficiency
- Airdrop function added
- Websocket and staking fixes
On the front end of WOO X, users saw updates on:
- Optimization of position related logic
