KoiPond is undergoing a period of significant growth and transformation. We’ve spent the last month undergoing major internal change and incorporating much of the great feedback we’re received from our highly valued community in order to make KoiPond a fantastic experience for new and seasoned users alike, and especially improving it for our current users and KOI holders. Many of the changes we will introduce are designed to directly benefit the KOI token, in order to give it a strong and compelling purpose. As we reshape the way our token functions to better serve the projects we list and the users of our platform, we are excited to share our vision for the future. In this article, we will delve into our planned features and the updates that are rolling out this week.

Features Coming Soon

KOI + KOI LP Staking

The next feature to be released is KOI and KOI LP staking. Our staking mechanism allows KOI holders to benefit from the success of our platform by locking up their KOI or KOI LP for a specific period. In return, they will share in the revenue generated from wrapping and unwrapping KOI into dKOI. This feature incentivizes long-term commitment to the KoiPond ecosystem and rewards our loyal token holders.

Site Design Update

While we are working on our KoiPond V2 Website + Dapp, we've improved the look and feel of our current dapp in line with our existing styles. This mostly improves mobile UX, but will also help to de-clutter our UI in a couple of ways and tie together the site better.

Current Roadmap

Token Buckets

To enhance our PAM listing offering, we are introducing the concept of "buckets." Buckets enable projects to sell tokens for more than just dKOI, such as ETH or USDC. For instance, a project aiming to raise $500k can do so by selling their token TKN for $400k worth of ETH, $50k worth of KOI, and $50k worth of USDC. Projects will still raise a large portion of their overall bucket in dKOI. This feature will not only improve our ability to list top-notch projects but also make listing more accessible to a diverse range of users, while supporting KOI better.

BRC20 Native Integration

We are actively working on a BRC20 native integration, which will allow projects that raise funds on Ethereum through KoiPond to immediately distribute their BRC20 native token to listing participants. To participate in these listings, users will need both a Bitcoin Taproot wallet, such as Unisat or Xverse, and an Ethereum wallet. This integration will streamline the token distribution process and provide a seamless experience for projects and participants alike.

BRC20 Bridge Integration

By partnering with a leading BRC20 bridge in the space, KoiPond is expanding its reach and onboarding many new users to the ecosystem. This integration will enable easy and efficient transfer of BRC20 tokens between different blockchains, fostering increased liquidity and accessibility for our users.

Website V2

KoiPond is undergoing a comprehensive overhaul of its website and dApp to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience for listing projects, participating in listings, staking, and more. Our Website V2 will launch with a host of new features that will propel KoiPond closer to its goal of becoming the go-to launchpad in the crypto space. The redesigned interface will prioritize simplicity, intuitiveness, and ease of navigation, ensuring that users can efficiently access and utilize all the features and functionalities offered by KoiPond.

Bitcoin Wallet Custody

To further enhance the accessibility of KoiPond listings for Ethereum users, we are exploring partnerships with Bitcoin wallet custodians. This will eliminate the need for users to possess a Bitcoin Taproot wallet to participate in BRC20 listings. By leveraging the services of trusted custodians, we aim to lower the entry barrier and make it easier for a wider audience to engage with BRC20 projects launched on our platform.

Gasless Listings

One of the most important values that KoiPond champions is fairness, but when gas prices soar, our listings don't feel very fair for our less wealthy users. For this reason, KoiPond is working towards creating a Gasless Listing system. This innovation will revolutionize the way users participate in token listings on our platform. With Gasless Listings, users will no longer need to worry about the cost of Ethereum gas fees when taking part in a listing. This feature will make KoiPond listings more accessible and attractive to a wider range of users by removing the barrier of high gas costs.

As we embark on this exciting journey of growth and innovation, KoiPond remains committed to delivering cutting-edge features, fostering a vibrant ecosystem, and providing unparalleled opportunities for projects and users alike. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to shape the future of token launches and drive the adoption of BRC20 tokens in the crypto landscape.
