Introduction Questions Asked By Team BlockTalks!
Q1. Could you please introduce Alium Swap to our community in layman’s term?
Ans- Alium Finance is a MultiChain DeFi ecosystem with an ambitious roadmap of CrossChain DeFi and NFT products.
Alium Swap is a MultiChain Decentralized Exchange with a Cross Chain option already operating on Binance Smart Chain and Huobi ECOChain with Ethereum ,Near, Matic, Avalanche, OKExChain and more coming.
But in layman’s terms,
We are building a Hub where user can safely and conveniently experience all the different DeFi products and NFTs on different Blockchains without the need to jump platforms.
Q2. What are the advantages of Alium Swap to other alternatives in the Blockchain field?
Ans- Our key advantage is the MultiChain platform with Crosschain options
Most of the platforms focus on one or two blockchains and heavily rely on the Blockchain’s performance
In our case we have 7+ Blockchains and our users can safely and rapidly switch between them and stay relevant at all times all in one interface.
Q3. What are the major milestones Alium Swap achieved so far & what are in the future pipeline?
Ans- In terms of Product development:
- We already Launched Alium Swap on Binance Smart Chain and Huobi ECOchain, they are both fully operations at alium.finance
What comes next is: 5+ more blockchains ( Ethereum ,Near, Matic, Avalanche, OKExChain), CrossChain Bridges, Smart Farming, Smart Staking, Multichain NFT Marketplace and many more cool features
In Terms of Business development:
- We already closed our Private round of investment (2.2mil$ in under 48 hours) and Strategic Partnership round with 12+ Strategic Partners on Board
What comes next for us is a Public sale between 10th and 15th of May with 4 IDOs on different platforms and an Initial NFT Offering at our own platform.
Questions Asked on Twitter For Alium Swap Team!
Q1. You point out that you have a great diversity of DeFi products that meet customer demands, but could you really tell us a little more about the products that are already available and those that are still in development?
Ans- Our DeFi product which is already available is Alium Swap
It’s a Decentralized MultiChain Exchange which already runs on BSC and HECO and will include 5+ more blockchains in the future, with CrossChain bridges between the blockchains
We have great % available for liquidity providers and all smart contracts fully audited by top Smart Contract Audit firms, such as CertiK, Hacken and Chainsulting (who audited 1inch)
What comes next:
- Smart Farming, a layer 2 solution aimed on cutting costs and maximizing the farming profits. Holders of ALM token will also get extra benefits while farming
- Smart Staking - a cutting edge solution for staking on our platform with extra benefits for ALM holders and users of our ecosystem
- a Multichain NFT Marketplace with tons of cool and exciting features, which will be announced later
and many more features and products which are still "trade secret".
Q2. You mention that Alium's services are extended to all liquidity providers willing to migrate to more stable and secure platforms, but will these only be the benefits? or despite stability and security, will they also provide better returns?
Ans- We do indeed provide better returns with a % percent for the liquidity providers
But on top of that we provide a unique opportunity for the Bridge between blockchains, which will surely benefit the liquidity providers once we start linking up all the separated DeFi ecosystems on different Blockchains
Security is also our top priority with every single Smart Contract being Audited by a top Smart Contract Audit Firm.
Q3. Many users prefer conventional exchanges, rather than Dex AMM, but could you really tell us what are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of exchange implemented in Alium? is it really the best option for investors?
Ans- DEXes allow you higher level of control over your funds, that’s why traders have been moving away from traditional exchanges towards DEXes in the past year
One of the main disadvantages on DEXes was a single chain, if you needed to use a different chain, you would have to use some third party solutions or go to a Centralized Exchange
But our solution is aimed on eliminating this disadvantage, by moving between blockchains in one DEX our users will have full control over their funds, choices and higher mobility, which will give them that competitive edge on the market.
Q4. aliumswap is a secure and stable platform compared to other swaps, how do they achieve such a level of security and stability? What benefits do they offer compared to other swaps?
Ans- We put great emphasis on security, that’s why we have an inhouse team of IT security specialists with loads of experience working on the security and stability of our Platform
All our Smart Contracts are fully audited by top Smart Contract Auditors, such as Chainsulting, Hacken and CertiK
What we offer is great terms for liquidity providers with very high % and a Cross Chain solutions for 7+ blockchains, those are our two key advantages when choosing a DEX.
Q5. In my opinion, only getting investors and holders are not enough. A project needs to solve a real world issue or a real world problem. What plans do you have plans with them?
Ans- The real world issue we are solving is that DEXes and other DeFI and NFT projects focus on one or two blockchains, which makes their users reliant on that Blockchain’s performance
We give users fully audited CrossChain bridges for 7+ Blockchains, which lets them experience the DeFi world through one interface and gives them that competitive edge in terms of Blockchain mobility.
