Binance Smart Chain based DeFi project with main focus on decentralized perpetuals.
The all known Problem in the Market
Due to high gas fees on the Ethereum Blockchain dApps are used less frequently compared to dApps on the Binance Smart Chain. This resulst from the fact that the bigger part of the crypto community comes from developing countries. It is too expensive to trade perpetuals or use the Spot/Swap market. Until Ethereum has no solution, many people will suffer on paying high gas fees. The same rules for all kinds of people, why do we drive the same car, but mine costs more to operate? Today Binance Smart Chain is the most used dApp Network and it doesn't stop to grow.
How Palmswap eliminates this Problem and uses a market gap as a benefit
The proof of concept for decentralized perpetual Trading is given on the Ethereum Network and is gaining daily volumes between $3-10.000.000.000. This market is missing on the most used network Binance Smart Chain.
Perpetual contracts - A way major exchanges offer to trade crypto with leverage
Perpetual contracts are a type of derivative trading product brought to the market by Bitmex and used by many other pioneers such as Bybit. Through perpetual, traders can speculate the future price trends of an asset either by buying (going long) or by selling (going short). The Palmswap Team is very confident to offer users perpetual trading experiences in a decentralized way. They want to bring the usability of their platform to the level of central pioneers and above.

We plan to launch the Mainnet in January or February, 3-5 weeks after the Testnet period has started. Along with the launch of the Mainnet, the first trading cycle will begin.
What are Trading Cycles and how can I participate on them?
Trade on the Protocol to get free tokens. It' s as simple as it sounds.
The first Trading Cycle distributes a total of 20,000,000 PALM (40% of the initial supply) to traders. The first Cycle will automatically end once a total trading volume of 2.5 billion USD has been reached across all markets on the Protocol, the next trading cycles are not based on a volume target but on a number of days. Each cycle lasts 7 days and as soon as one cycle ends, the next one starts. The users can withdraw their earned PALM without any waiting time after the end of each trading cycle.
Quick Roadmap Overview:
- 2022 Jan: Release Testnet & Bug Bounty (Airdrop)

- 2022 Mar: Token Sale - Token Release - Economics (Safety Providing and LP Farm)

Palmswap's future theoretically could be compared to the pioneers from the decentralized spot market. Uniswap has established the decentralized spot market, Pancakeswap recognized the market gap on the BSC and by now, has even overtaken Uniswap in terms of traffic with 24.58M page views compared to Uni with 9.7M page views by more than 50%.
Instructions on how to participate in Palmswap's airdrop and Testnet will be posted in their Announcement Channels (Twitter, Telegram, Discord) soon.
