Trisolaris is a DEX built on NEAR Protocol’s Aurora EVM, boasting fast settlement times, low fees, and democratic governance. 

Blockchain technology has brought numerous products and services never seen in the market before, which includes the extremely popular non-fungible tokens (NFTs)

But it has also given birth to decentralized financial services that provided both crypto and non-crypto natives a chance to tap secured and potentially more lucrative income streams. 

Background 

Trisolaris, a NEAR and Aurora-powered platform, was built to streamline decentralized services such as staking and yield farming to provide users with fair and enhanced revenues. By using NEAR’s lightning-fast transactions and low fees, it can seamlessly achieve its aim of going head to head with other decentralized exchanges (DEX) in providing the most efficient service in the market. 

What is Trisolaris?

Trisolaris is a DEX built on NEAR Protocol’s Aurora EVM, boasting fast settlement times, low fees, and democratic governance. 

It has a user-friendly UI and is capable of providing liquidity, swapping ERC-20 tokens, and high-speed trading. The platform claims to be the top DEX in Aurora in terms of volume and total value locked (TVL). The platform also aims to gradually and systematically reduce the emissions of its liquidity mining programs over the next 3 years, a program that has already started last February 2022. 

NEAR and Aurora Refresher 

NEAR protocol is a proof-of-stake base layer blockchain equipped with scaling solutions and smart contract capabilities established for decentralized apps (dApps). Aurora, meanwhile, is a decentralized platform built by NEAR’s core team and helps developers create smart contracts for the Ethereum blockchain. 

TRI Token 

TRI Token, which has a max supply of 500 million, is Trisolaris’ native token with the main utility of helping holders earn high yields on TRI-based farms.

vexTRI and Governance Participation 

The token is also equipped with vote locking and rewards boosting capabilities, giving holders additional value in holding the token. 

Trisolaris users will have the capability to lock their TRI or xTRI for several time periods in exchange for “vexTRI”. And in turn, vexTRI will give them the power to vote on critical decisions on the Trisolaris governance. xTRI is the platform’s main staking mechanism, which will be discussed in detail later. 

These decisions include how much rewards should be allocated to each pool, changes in fee percentages on DEX, and which pools should be included for liquidity mining. 

The vexTRI also allows holders to gain more yields over time and will continue to accumulate more TRI tokens from single-side staking.

Exchange 

The platform’s Exchange has an easy-to-use swap interface that involves the simple selection of two tokens that users want to exchange, eliminating any complicated steps. 

Liquidity providers power the Trisolaris Exchange and are rewarded with LP tokens for their efforts. 

A 0.3% trading fee is charged on every token swap transaction, and 0.25% of this fee is funneled into liquidity pools, and the remaining 0.05% goes to the TRI token farm. 

Yield Farm 

Trisolaris users can deposit their earned Liquidity Pool tokens into the platform’s farm to earn more TRI tokens. 

Staking

Let us compare the benefits of staking and another earning option for users called ‘auto-compounders’. 

Auto-compounders allow users to sell their TRI rewards earned from yield farming to increase their LP positions. 

This earning option is attractive because of the seemingly big yields, but the problem is that it can decrease users’ TRI tokens, which would be a big loss if TRI increases in value. As an alternative, users are encouraged to stake their TRI tokens to “xTRI,” Trisolaris’ main staking mechanism, which has no impermanent loss. 

By staking TRI tokens to xTRI, users can gain more TRIs simply by holding xTRI tokens, which would be extremely beneficial once TRI’s price shoots up. 

Additional Offerings 

StableSwap 

Trisolaris’ stable swap feature was built to provide an additional revenue stream for users and allow vexTRI holders to have governance on the allocations of selected portions of revenues.

The platform’s vote-locking feature and stable swap capabilities perfectly fit together, increasing the TRI token’s utility and improving the platform’s DEX performance. 

Stable AMM 

Trisolaris’ Stable Automated Market Maker (AMM) was built to provide liquidity providers and traders with enhanced trading features designed to improve their returns. 

Participants Benefits of Trisolaris Stable AMM 
Liquidity Providers They can infuse liquidity for one asset, and the impermanent loss incurred is reduced through the help of the StableSwap invariant algorithm. 
Traders They can trade stable pairs with the trio benefits of higher capital efficiency, lower fees, and lower slippage.
xTRI holders They can benefit from TRI token buybacks which would be funded by a portion of fees from the stableswaps. As of this writing, this feature is not yet rolled out. 

Smart-Order Routing 

Smart-Ordering Routing automatically brings users to the AMM with the highest percentage of liquidity, lowest slippage, and most beneficial execution when they are swapping 2 assets. 

Conclusion 

Trisolaris is clear on how it can provide better DEX services for its users, and doesn’t rely on flashy promises and features. Also, what makes it stand out is that it is positioned as a straightforward platform for traders and liquidity providers looking for a DEX with working solutions in increasing revenues.
