World's First Layer 3 DEX

WHAT IS HYDRANET

Hydranet offers the World's First Layer 3 DEX

Hydranet's Layer 3 technology facilitates communication between Bitcoin and Ethereum, two fundamentally different blockchains, enabling seamless interoperability.

Speed and Scalability

Hydranet reduces network load without compromising security. The average transaction settlement time is merely 1 second.

Interoperability

Hydranet doesn’t require wrapped tokens. Native assets can seamlessly be exchanged between different chains without the need for a Layer 2 bridge.

COMMUNITY POWER

A Decentralized and Autonomous Organization

Hydranet derives its strength from the community. In addition to voting and governance, the HDX token price will appreciate with every trade on the DEX using buybacks for liquidity and burn mechanisms.

HDX Holder Benefits

Hydranet is committed to never having custody over user funds and to share the success of the DEX with the community through unique Tokenomics.

HDX Loyalty Shares

After launch, we are planning to create Loyalty Rewards for Users & Community. Being an early supporter of Hydranet will not be in vain! Stay tuned.

Hydranet Questions

What Does Hydranet Offer Solutions For?
Hydranet offers solutions to the most important problems of blockchain technology with Layer 3 DEX. As a blockchain grows in popularity and demand, heavy network traffic can lead to serious congestion problems that cause transaction fees and confirmation wait times to increase astronomically. This is where Hydranet comes in. Its approach of strictly using Layer 2 assets results in very low transaction fees, nearly-instantaneous speeds, and the possibility of exchanging real assets that exist independently from one another and have no direct bridge. Check out the DEX page for more details.
The Hydranet team is made up of a diverse group of volunteers, most of whom dedicate their time to development and management despite also working full-time jobs. If you would like to learn more about individual team members and their respective backgrounds and work experiences, you can read about them in a three-part series: Part I , Part II , Part III
The detailed roadmap is available here on our website, hydranet.ai. Currently, the DEX is undergoing major ugprades from its first public testnet build (Lazarus). When these upgrades have been implemented successfully, our second testnet build (Atlas) will debut publicly (Q4 2022). After this we will move to Mainnet, this version will be called Phoenix (Date TBA).
HDX is the governance token for the Hydranet project. In addition to voting, HDX holders will benefit from the trades on the DEX by the design of our Tokenomics. By offering HDX sales in the form of bonds directly from the Hydranet website, the team is able to raise funds for development, infrastructure, and marketing. Hydranet is and always has been community-driven, and we cannot overstate our gratitude for all the support we've received.

Community Questions

What is the Purpose of the Community?
Hydranet is a community-based, DAO-controlled project that draws its core strengths from its dedicated, organic following. The community serves as the DAOs support network, and vice-versa. Important decisions are made by community voting. Business plans and goals are relayed by the team to the community on both an as-needed basis and in the form of weekly and monthly project status updates. The community, in turn, provides feedback, votes with their wallets, and proposes ideas for future votes. You too can be part of the Hydranet community.
"DAO" is short for "Decentralized Autonomous Organization". Hydranet is managed through cooperation between the community and the Hydranet team. Proposals are arranged on the Snapshot platform so that HDX holders can vote on important topics, and the team then implements those decisions accordingly.
By joining the community, you can be involved in the decision-making process at its most basic level. Much of our content production, moderation, and social media management has come from volunteers. We have international community represantatives for an impressive number of countries and languages. These efforts significantly enhance communication between the team and community itself. We invite you to join the Hydranet Discord channel and try out the testnet DEX for yourself!
Hydranet DEX is a groundbreaking project for the cryptocurrency ecosystem. By joining the community, you stand to witness this revolution up close. With the release of Phoenix version of the Hydranet DEX, a lot will change, see our Tokenomics. Depending on the needs of the project and your areas of expertise, you may also be a fit for our team.
