Five months ago the seeds of an idea were first formed as the soon-to-be founded team of a new cryptocurrency venture. We were discussing the merits of decentralized finance. DeFi was the new technology that had taken the world of cryptocurrency by storm. Needless to say, it had its fair share of both optimism and supporters, criticism and detractors. However, at the time, we knew the conversation shouldn’t be about what DeFi was, but rather what DeFi could become. The potential was palpable, for a truly revolutionary new frontier of finance built on blockchain and smart contracts, promising a new paradigm of decentralisation, innovation and inclusivity…
The foundational bricks for DeFi were being laid, and we realised, that this was the time and the opportunity to create something incredible.
Those seeds had germinated into a tree, and the idea had transformed into a vision. A vision to build a DeFi ecosystem from the ground up, that would change the world.
The world of DeFi, the world of cryptocurrencies, and finally, the world, for real.
It was an extraordinarily bold vision. It required flawless execution, with months of blood, sweat, and toil.
But as Steve Jobs once said,
We are proud to announce, that today, this vision has turned into reality.
Presenting EDDASwap. #DeFi the World.
The following video takes inspiration from Steve Jobs’ quote and pays tribute to some of the ‘crazy ones’ who have DeFi’ed the world:

Presenting EDDASwap’s NFT Platform
EDDASwap’s highly anticipated NFT platform is ready for launch!
The platform goes live this week, and EDDA holders will be able to stake their tokens to earn exclusive, limited-edition NFTs specially created for EDDASwap by the world’s leading 3D artists and motion graphic designers, including legends such as Primal Cypher and Space Yacht Labs.
How the NFT platform will work
- The NFTs will be distributed through two unique staking pools, similar to EDDASwap’s existing staking platform. Users will be able to stake both their EDDA tokens and their EDDA LP tokens, and will receive different sets of NFTs through each of these staking pools.
- For each EDDA or EDDA LP token staked, users will receive a certain number of “Samurai” points per day, as a reward for staking the tokens. These Samurai points are the NFT platform’s in-house currency, and they can be redeemed by the user in exchange for the NFTs of their choice.
- Each NFT available on the platform will require a certain number of Samurai points to redeem. The rarest NFTs by the top artists will require the highest number of Samurai points. Therefore, the NFT platform rewards EDDA holders and users that stake their tokens for a longer period of time to accrue more Samurai points, by giving them exclusive access to the most desirable NFTs.
- Additionally, there will be a maximum cap on the number of EDDA or EDDA LP tokens each user can stake, ensuring that no whales can monopolize any of the NFTs.
- Upon redemption, the NFTs will be automatically transferred to the user’s wallet. They can be sold on secondary NFT markets such as OpenSea and Rarible or simply held as collectibles, being one of the first-generation collections of tokenized digital art.
Parameters of the EDDA Staking Pool
- For every 1 EDDA token staked in the platform’s EDDA staking pool, 0.5 Samurai points will be generated per day.
- The maximum number of EDDA tokens each user can stake will be capped at 10 EDDA.
- The highlights of the initial collection of NFTs available through the EDDA staking pool include exclusive works by leading artists such as Primal Cypher.
Parameters of the EDDA LP Staking Pool
- For every 0.0001 EDDA LP tokens staked in the platform’s EDDA LP staking pool, 2.5 Samurai points will be generated per day.
- The maximum number of EDDA LP tokens each user can stake will be capped at 0.0002 EDDA LP.
- The highlights of the initial collection of NFTs available through the EDDA LP staking pool include limited-edition 3D video NFTs of CZ Binance, Vitalik Buterin, and the Winklevoss twins.
V1 of the NFT platform, with all the features and functionalities explained above, will be live soon! Stay tuned for further updates, including additional NFT collections from top artists, new features, and perhaps a few surprises along the way, as we expand the platform!
