Monthly Recap - August 2021
Tokel IDO On AtomicDEX
On August 30, Tokel began an Initial DEX Offering (IDO) for its TKL coin. The IDO is happening exclusively on AtomicDEX through September 15, 2021. Check out the Tokel IDO website page for more details.
Komodo CTO Kadan 'ca333' Stadelmann commented,
"We're excited to have Tokel (decentralized NFT platform - https://tokel.io/) become the newest coin listed on AtomicDEX and the first to use AtomicDEX to launch an interoperable IDO. This marks an important milestone for the expansion of our technology as we now offer a seamless plug-and-play option for fair launch coins. I am confident that many other projects will follow in Tokel’s footsteps."
To take part in the Tokel IDO, you must download the community pre-release of AtomicDEX v0.5.0 and add TKL as an asset to your wallet.

Komodo and SmartFi Collaboration
As announced in July, SmartFi has chosen to adopt Komodo technology. To explain more about what this partnership means, Komodo and SmartFi hosted a live panel discussion on August 17. Topics included the benefits of the partnership for both projects, what SmartFi is working to achieve, and the future of decentralized technology.

ARRRtomic Swaps
As of November 2022, ARRRtomic swaps are now live on AtomicDEX Desktop v0.5.7.
Shielded, cross-chain P2P atomic swaps are now a reality! This technology is dubbed 'ARRRtomic swaps' in honor of Pirate Chain (ARRR). On August 12, Komodo CTO Kadan 'ca333' Stadelmann successfully demonstrated the first KMD/ARRR DEX trade. The development team is currently working on further improvements to ARRRtomic swap tech before implementing in the AtomicDEX app.
