Read the thread to see how easy it is for any existing DEX to add a trustless CLOB to its product suite.
No rebuild. No becoming an exchange. Here's how it actually works. 🧵
1/ QuickSwap has integrated with @kalqix on Base 🔥
The dragon community can now access trustless order book execution, all while trading through the same familiar experience.
Onchain trading, redefined.
3/ For QuickSwap users, the benefits are endless:
• Better pricing
• Lower slippage on larger trades
• Access to additional liquidity sources
• Fully onchain settlement
Dragons taking a major step forward for decentralised trading.
2/ When better pricing is available through KalqiX, orders can be routed accordingly and settled atomically on-chain via Avail Atomic by @AvailProject.
• No bridges.
• No custody risks.
• No new accounts.
The recent debate around equity raises vs. token value accrual has brought an important question back to the surface:
Who actually captures the value when a crypto project succeeds?
Is it token holders?
Is it equity holders?
Is it insiders?
Or is it the community?
That question matters because in a market full of tokens that launched with heavy insider allocations, private rounds, early unlocks, and unclear value accrual, base:0x7094c27f342dbadfbbed005b219431595e33b305 took a very different path from day one.
QUICK was a fair launch token when it went live 5+ years ago. The fairest launch you could get (and even might still get!)
There was no presale.
There was no private round.
There were no VC allocations waiting to unlock.
There was not even an initial liquidity pool.
The only way to aquire $QUICK was to LP on @QuickswapDEX .
From the beginning, QUICK and the protocol’s liquidity were community-first.
Around 97% of the token supply was distributed to the community, while the Founders received only around 2% of the supply.
That distribution established a foundation aligned with users, liquidity providers, traders, and the general Dragon community instead of insiders looking for an exit.
The team did not dump large allocations on holders.
The team did not sit on a massive insider supply.
The team did not control the early liquidity.
The vast majority of QUICK has always been in the community’s hands, creating one of the most organic token ownership structures in all of DeFi.
But fair distribution is only one part of the story.
The next question is always:
How does value continue to accrue over time?
For QuickSwap, the answer has always been protocol revenue.
Since the launch of the dragons lair in 2021, QUICK buybacks have been occurring using protocol-generated revenue. These buybacks create consistent market demand and also contribute to reducing circulating supply through token burns.
This creates a powerful dynamic:
• Protocol activity generates revenue
• Revenue funds QUICK buybacks
• A portion of bought-back QUICK is burned
• Circulating supply becomes scarcer over time
• The treasury grows in value
• Protocol success is pushed back toward QUICK holders
Rather than relying only on narratives and speculation, QuickSwap has spent years building mechanisms designed to strengthen protocol sustainability through actual usage and revenue generation.
That is why the token vs. equity debate matters.
A lot of projects talk about tokens being aligned with the success of the project, but the actual value often flows somewhere else.
QuickSwap has always tried to do the opposite.
Many DeFi protocols talk about alignment While QuickSwap has spent years building it.
Dragons were OGs from the start. 🐉

"No assurance on user payouts."
That sentence should be impossible for any exchange to write.
It isn't - because most exchanges hold your funds as their liability, not your property.
A short thread on why this keeps happening, and the fix that already exists. 🧵
@0xJarod It kindve already does. Some of that yield is already being used to buy $QUICK and distribute it to stakers
Looking at just staking $QUICK for bluechips directly though 👀
Why build a DAT (Digital Asset Treasury)?
Because markets move in cycles, narratives evolve, and trading activity changes. Protocols that rely only on emissions or short-term incentives often struggle to maintain momentum through different market conditions.
Having a treasury changes that.
A well-managed treasury gives a protocol the ability to preserve capital, generate revenue, support liquidity, fund growth initiatives, and build long-term resilience. It creates an additional layer of sustainability that can strengthen it beyond its core products.
This is the vision behind the QuickSwap Treasury.
And what makes the QuickSwap Treasury unique is its focus on productive capital.
QuickSwap deploys funds across diversified DeFi strategies that balance risk, liquidity, and yield generation. The goal is not necessarily to chase the highest returns available at any given moment, but to build a durable treasury that can consistently grow over time while maintaining strong liquidity reserves.
The results so far:
• Total Treasury Value: $3.87M
• Q2 Revenue Generated: $634,000
• Estimated Monthly Yield Generation: ~$3,500
The Treasury is still in its early stages, but it represents an important evolution in QuickSwap's long-term strategy.
As the portfolio grows, treasury-generated revenue can help strengthen the protocol across the board.
