Q4 Highlights

Crypto Knowledge Base

We have also strengthened our position as a knowledge base and learning centre for cryptocurrency, DeFi and DEX adoption, and safe practices for trading crypto. This year we published numerous articles reviewing various EVM blockchains, different token projects, and exchange architectures.

Moving Forward

We are very excited about going into 2020 and continue realising our Roadmap together. Undoubtedly, we are reaching points in our development roadmap that many of you have been waiting for eagerly since day 1 such as Atomic Arbitrage trading going live, Saturn DAO being deployed onto main net, and scaling our trading protocol onto a third blockchain.

From those three development milestones alone, you can already say that 2020 will be a very exciting year for Saturn Network. Along with the way the industry is moving: an increase in DEX adoption across the board along with a massive interest in more Dapps joining the growing DeFi ecosystem - a perfect storm for our platform to continue its positive growth.

Future is bright!
