Bankless Writer: Jack Inabinet | disclosures

As we often say... it's still early.

Today's DeFi power players who may feel unstoppable always need to keep a close eye on early upstarts. Fortunes can quickly shift, especially in today's regulatory environment. And with so many ecosystems out there, there's always an opportunity for a newbie.

This month, we've added some decentralized exchanges to the Airdrop Hunter product, so we're highlighting our latest releases below alongside a couple existing strategy guides.

If you want to be early to the next big DEX, you'll need to start hunting the airdrops today; here are five tokenless DEXs to get you started! Anyone can view the first airdrop opportunity, but the remaining four are reserved exclusively for Bankless Citizens 🤝

⚫ Aori

Status: Confirmed ✅
Confidence: High
Sector: Exchange
Chains: Goerli Ethereum

About:

Aori is an orderbook exchange based on OpenSea's Seaport contract. Seat NFTs play a core role in the Aori ecosystem. To access the exchange, users must trade through one (whether they own it or not). Seat holders set protocol fees, trade for free, and earn a portion of fees on orders placed through their Seat that varies with the tier of their Seat.

Aori Prime (the next iteration of dAMM Finance) serves as the protocol's leverage layer and brings capital efficiency to the exchange. Bad debt is siloed to the Prime pool it originated from, allowing individual Primes to extend off-chain credit-based loans without impacting the solvency of the broader exchange.

Why we're watching:

Aori has an early-stage NFT collection. HODLing a "Seat" provides numerous in-protocol benefits, and we believe their presence indicates a future airdrop, following a similar approach to NFT marketplace Sudoswap. Additionally, released tokenomic information confirms that 5.3% of the AORI token supply will be distributed via airdrop.
