What is Tokenlon?
Even though there’s a tremendous amount of interest in BINANCE Smart Chain for DeFi products, there’s still innovation and growth happening on Ethereum as well. Tokenlon is a decentralized exchange using the 0xProject, and the prices it provides for trades are the ones the user will get.
Tokenlon also shows prices from other DEX services, like Kyber and Uniswap. In addition, it uses its native LON token as a reward for liquidity pool providers. Users can create a pool on Uniswap and stake their liquidity pool (LP) tokens for their LON liquidity farming program.
