Month in Review – October 2021

Namaste Tribe! Here’s a monthly report of what happened at WazirX in October.

What happened last month?

[Done] 14 new market pairs: We added fourteen tokens to our INR (fiat), USDT and WRX markets last month! You can now buy, sell, trade XEC, TLM, ILV, MLN, DYDX, CFX, STPT, RAD, BURGER, BCD, ROSE, SCRT, SYS and AGLD in our INR, USDT and WRX market. Start trading your favourite pairs here!

[Done] Proof of Payment: First-time Buyers on P2P markets will now have to mandatorily upload ‘Proof of Payment screenshots’ on the WazirX platform. This has resulted in dispute reduction time and support tickets related to P2P trades. 

[Done] Raftaar Engine: We have migrated all the markets to Raftaar Engine for trading optimization.

What are we building?

[Ongoing] AMM Protocol: There have been unforeseen delays in some of the protocols that our DEX is dependent upon. This is preventing us from going live. At this moment, we don’t have an ETA on how long this will take. Be assured that we’re working very hard with the protocol team to expedite the process.

[Ongoing] New tokens: We’ll be listing more tokens on WazirX in the coming weeks. Got any suggestions? Please tweet to us @WazirXIndia.
