Hey! Hope you all have been doing good! I wanted to give you an update on what we have been working on, as well as some of our plans for the next few months.

SwitchDex Update

The new DEX design is nearly finished. We ran into some issues with charting, (it has always been an issue with SwitchDex) and wanted to make sure it was fully ready to go before launching the new design. It will be live soon!

This update to SwitchDex will also add order matching, as well as gas-free order cancellations making it easier and more profitable for people to run bots on SwitchDex. We are really excited to push these 2 new features. This new design is also a big improvement to the old one in my opinion, and will be what we use for a while.

SwitchDex will also be implementing the tornado.cash smart contract later this month, which will give users some optional extra privacy and mixing options for ETHER. Read more about Tornado.cash on their site!

SwitchDex will also be releasing a downloadable version of SwitchDex soon which will allow you to trade without going to our domain. We will also be open sourcing all of our code soon and putting it on Github.

After these are all live, the DEX development focus moving forward will be mainly the interoperability of other blockchains. We will set token bounties to encourage other devs to help us build great new features for SwitchDex.

Switch Update

When we first began working on Ethershift, a few months shy of 2 years ago, we had initially planned to be a centralized service. We saw some of the pain points that decentralization was causing with trading, such as scalability, user experience, lack of support, etc. We had a concept for a hybrid of sorts to try and achieve a non custodial way to swap tokens and more. The more we worked on this and the more the eco system around DeFi projects began to evolve it became more and more clear we should move away from the centralization route and go as decentralized as we can, so that has been a lot of what we have been working on with Switch. A lot of the old ideas we had planned to implement had to be reworked from being a centralized service to a a decentralized one but we are keeping most of the overall goals and features the same.

We will be releasing a new website for Switch.ag in September! The token swap service will have a much more sleek and simpler design and transaction process than we have now, and will have metamask/trust/ledger/etc integration. The token swap process will compare prices with 6+ different exchanges instantly, and give you a 1 click option to buy or sell for the best price, with no personal information collected.

This update will also include more than 50 new gift card options, including gift cards that work internationally. This update will also finally include some gambling options! I will post a blog with more info on these new features and updates soon!

Exiled Documentary Update

We had planned to release the documentary at the end of August but are having to push it back until September 30th. We had some filming planned for Cuba in early August before Johns detainment in DR and subsequent leaving of Cuba and sadly had to cancel. He is currently in Europe, and we are working on coordination the final dates for the final filming days. We are planning to release it September 30th! If you havn’t seen what we are working on yet, check out the trailer!
