On March 2, we launched our APYSwap’s token IDO at Polkastarter platform, raising a total of 125,000 USDT in Ethereum. After receiving 42,825 whitelisting application, we were extremely excited to see this many users demonstrating their interest in our project, both from Polkastarter holders and our own community. 0.67% of total token supply was sold during the IDO (i.e. 670,000 tokens).

About APYS token:
APYSwap tokens are used to safeguard and govern the APYSwap’s ecosystem. They ensure that only the reputable DeFi projects are available on the marketplace. Their role is to provide an insurance utility. Projects, interested in listing at the APYSwap’s marketplace, will have to purchase APYS tokens and lock them. If the project has proven to be untrustworthy, tokens will be unlocked and distributed as a compensation.
Token owners will be able to vote for new portfolio projects. In the long term, the platform will shift towards the complete decentralization with community acting as decision makers. Portfolio managers will be incentivized to purchase the APY tokens, since they can attract more users by offering unique projects in their portfolio. However, they will need tokens to vote for the addition of said projects into the APY’s whitelist. Therefore, portfolio managers will contribute to APY token’s market value.
