Introducing the new pDEX (pDEX v3)

Ledger support couldn’t come soon enough :slight_smile:

I still believe if there’s any way to only have one token all the better.

Orion protocol has their version of “provide prv” as governace merged with liquidity staking. So long as you have prv in provide you are afforded votes of that many in each issue that arises. And you can distribute your votes among multiple choices for weighting. If you unstake your prv, all votes are repealed.

Hello @daniel will the launch of pDex v3 have any impact on the RPC calls?
Rpcs like authorizedsubmitkey, getbalancebyprivatekey to be specific? @sid

Sorry I missed your question. I’ve replied in another post: Will the launch of pDEX v3 have any Impact on Existing RPC Calls?

Progress update:

Firstly, I apologize for not meeting the original release date as promised (aka the last week of Oct), the current status is:

  • pDEX on-chain protocol was deployed on testnet already.
  • Incognito app for pDEX was being pointed to testnet and tested by QC team. The testing (and bug fix) is expected to be done early next week and the new pDEX is ready to roll out then.

Secondly, besides these main things above, we’re working on some other side things that may help the release be better and smoother:

  • A new landing page with a comprehensive explanation for what the project focuses on.
  • A centralized documentation that allows new users to onboard easier.
  • A dashboard for basic pDEX’s metrics.
  • A series of topics for new pool (and its liquidity) structure, PDEX tokenomics, and app tutorial.

All four things above will be done this week.

Finally, I’m really excited about the launch and personally believe once we have the new pDEX, PRV will have one more utility (for paying trading fees) so people will have one more reason to buy and hold PRV. Apparently, you can challenge us by a question of why people want to trade on pDEX so need PRV for trading fees? Hopefully, the new landing page and topics above can help answer this by defining concrete benefit of every single entity (liquidity providers, limit order placers, and arbitrageurs) involving the pDEX.

An idea for pDEX v3.5 :slight_smile: I’ve seen this in another DEX. LP fees are not just distributed to LPs by their liquidities but also by the age of their liquidities. So the early liquidity providers do not withdraw their liquidities in a hurry to avoid impermanent loss after they earn better rewards at initial high APRs.

I would love for this to get grandfathered in as I’ve been providing liquidity for a while

Hello folks,

This is another update for pDEX v3 progress, the testing for the new protocol and its integration with backend services and the app was complete. It’s ready to go and we had also a few beta users to give the new app a try and get us feedback. Some of them are:

  • The load time to enter the app is much faster (reduced ~50% load time compared to the production version). This is a privacy app that needs cryptographic computation right on the app to preserve private information so the stronger chip, the better experience, but the new app version will improve significantly experience for even weak devices.

  • The new UI is quite complex and changed significantly from the current version that will need user re-education effort. That is a thing we should avoid and the UI/UX should align with our userbase (who are mostly in US and Europe). I personally think this feedback does make sense and we were working on fixing it, this is the main reason for the delay since this is a big launch, we wanted users to have a good experience as possible.

Besides, the team was aggressively working on:

  • A new explorer that will temporarily replace incscan.io until the new owner’s team gets a full transfer from the old maintainer. (ETA: early next week)

  • A new landing page that will help explain more clearly Incognito’s positioning as well as what benefits of the new protocol. (ETA: early next week)

  • An airdrop service that will send a small PRV amount to users who shield coins to Incognito for the first time. This will help reduce friction for new user onboarding, thanks @adrian for the suggestion. (ETA: early next week)

  • A series of 4 topics: explanation of how entities benefit from the new protocol, new PDEX tokenomics (and how PRV’s holders benefit from the new PDEX token), the new app tutorial, and a longer-term plan for pDEX in detail. (ETA: throughout next week)

So the expected release date of pDEX v3 is Nov 18, 2021. Delay is not good but I hope it’s worth postponing a bit to have a better product and experience. Thanks for your understanding!

I personally realize your suggestion is usually valid, you will soon see that your old suggestion would be implemented (a.k.a PDEX token’s bridge and farming) and rolled out in a couple weeks. Thank you!

Congratulations! :star_struck: Maybe best not to have a party at your place then :sweat_smile:

We used to ask this question a lot when going on camping trips in boy scouts. We were told the universal answer is “20 more minutes”. So are we there yet? 20 more minutes. :joy:
