XDB Foundation announces DigitalBits (XDB) will be available on Uniswap
The XDB Foundation has announced that DigitalBits (XDB) will now be available on Uniswap. Uniswap is a popular decentralized exchange for ERC 20 tokens, and has experienced significant success alongside the recent surge in decentralized finance. On August 30, 2020, for the first time ever, Uniswap’s daily volume ($441 million) exceeded that of Coinbase Pro ($373 million), Decrypt.co reports. This is a particularly interesting development, considering that decentralized applications have generally lagged behind their centralized counterparts.
Contributing to the liquidity of XDB on Uniswap will be considered within the XDB Ambassador Program for rewards, which was announced by the XDB Foundation just a few days ago. In addition to increasing availability of the XDB token to the community, “the XDB Foundation views this as another symbolic step into decentralized finance,” the company announced in a statement. At the World Stablecoin Summit last week, the XDB Foundation presented the case for branded stablecoins – citing efficiencies that the emerging asset class could add to branded ecosystems, and the potential for the provision of financial services in decentralized environments.
The XDB Foundation was formed earlier this year to support the DigitalBits open-source ecosystem. Its mission is community adoption, developer evangelism, enterprise transformation, ecosystem governance and accelerated integration of DigitalBits worldwide. The foundation is led by serial blockchain entrepreneur Michael Gord who has founded or co-founded a number of companies including MLG Blockchain, GDA Capital and many others.
Manufacturing Industry 4.0 company Smart MFG Tech has announced that it is launching its MFG Liquidity Mining Rewards on LINKSWAP today. LINKSWAP is a decentralized, community-governed Decentralized Exchange (DEX) and an AMM platform, which was created by YF Link (YFL). The team at YF Link says it aims to address “the pain points of second-generation AMMs” by offering such features as Reduced Impermanent Loss, RugLock, SlipLock that are not offered by other platforms.
Smart MFG Tech has said that the first integration of the MFG liquidity mining rewards will use the LINKSWAP LP (Liquidity Provider) Rewards service. It will allow LPs to deposit their LP token(s) (UNI-V2) to the participating rewards pool (ETH|MFG) and earn MFG rewards seamlessly. Smart MFG said it will continue to work with the YF Link team to provide support for other pairs and expand services.
LINKSWAP’s Rewards is a liquidity mining service that enables LPs to earn rewards for providing liquidity in a participating pool. YF Link has implemented a custom frontend solution for Smart MFG LP rewards pool on LINKSWAP. This will allow LPs to add liquidity to Smart MFG’s existing ETH|MFG pool on UniSwap v2 and deposit their LP token(s) (UNI-V2) to their LINKSWAP rewards pool (ETH|MFG).
Smart MFG explained how the rewards can be earned:
“LPs get a share of the transaction fees on Uniswap v2. This is calculated by how much liquidity is provided relative to the percentage…
No matter what our goals are, sometimes just getting started can be the most difficult part of building our savings up. When it comes to investing, many of us are wary of parting with our money to generate more financial security in the future. But what if you can build significant savings without even noticing?
That’s the aim of the micro-investing apps that have come to dominate online stores across Android and iOS. Today, more fintech startups are working on delivering refined solutions that encourage minuscule investments at a more frequent rate.
Micro-Investing apps will look to make saving more accessible to young people – many of whom in the UK have little-to-no money tucked away for a rainy day.
However, the prevalence of money-saving technology and the disruptive chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have prompted a widespread increase in households saving more of their disposable income:
With micro-investing platforms playing a role in bringing UK household savings back up to five-year highs, is it fair to say that little-by-little investing is here to stay? Let’s take a look at how micro-investment platforms could revolutionise how we manage our finances:
What is Micro-Investing
Micro-investing, or sparse change investing, is a relatively new development in fintech. It effectively enables users to put away small amounts of money towards their long, or short, term goals. The idea…

When a claim is approved, stablecoins from the coverage pool goes…
