How To Trade on Kwenta.

Decentralized Prediction Market (DPM) Platform, Kwenta is built on the Synthetix protocol. What Synth liquidity traders can access on Kwenta is entirely created by SNX stakers on Synthetix. There are no direct counterparties for each trade in the Synthetix protocol, but it does use a counterparty-like model in which SNX stakers assume a proportion of the Synthetix debt pool when they mint sUSD.

Prediction Market transactions cost a certain amount proportional to how much processing power is required for Ethereum miners to process it. Kwenta uses the Synthetix protocol, which is far more complex than the majority of other Ethereum projects, so its transactions require more gas to be executed.

There are three simple steps on how to trade on Kwenta.

Step 1. You’ll need a web3 wallet with ETH for gas: Kwenta is on the Ethereum blockchain, so like all other dApps on Ethereum you’ll need a web3 wallet with ETH in it as gas to pay for transactions to be processed. Popular cryptocurrency wallet categories include hardware wallets, browser extension wallets, and mobile wallets.

Step 2: Acquire sUSD (or any other Synth) To start trading, you’ll need a synthetic asset derivative supported by Kwenta, known as Synths. The most accessible Synth is sUSD, which can be purchased on dApps such as Uniswap, Curve, or 1inch.

Step 3: Use Kwenta to trade the full range of SynthsOnce you’ve got sUSD or any other Synth, you can trade between the entire range of Synths to craft a diverse portfolio of assets, all on-chain and without surrendering custody to an exchange.

Kwenta Token.

Kwenta is listed on CoinMarketCap as an untracked token, nearly year after the Dapp announcement of going independent. The Dapp is in the process of listing it’s base token, watch out for airdrops.

The Synthetix-based Kwenta exchange announced that it is branching out on its own as it strives to become the leading decentralized finance (DeFi) trading hub.

In June 2021, the exchange explained its motivations for this independence effort and what it means for both Synthetix stakers and Kwenta users.

Kwenta is a rebranded successor to the synth trading interface Synthetix.Exchange, which is powered by the Synthetix DeFi platform.

The announcement explained that the Kwenta token will be used to bootstrap the community and fuel an early development team. This will be able to lead it towards becoming a self-sustaining platform.

The new token will complement the Synthetix community, it explained, adding value to Kwenta on its path to independence.

There were no details on official launch date other than “We’re aiming for summer” for the synthetic asset exchange.
