Crypto.com Capital has made a strategic investment in Moonlander, an innovative perpetual trading platform that operates on both the Cronos EVM and zkEVM. This groundbreaking platform offers traders up to 1000x leverage across a variety of cryptocurrency assets, bridging the gap between centralized exchange features and a fully decentralized environment.
Central to Moonlander’s infrastructure is the Moonlander Liquidity Pool (MLP), which is specifically designed for efficient capital utilization, reduced slippage, and sustainable yield generation. Liquidity providers benefit from rewards that are distributed in native tokens alongside Cronos (CRO) derived from platform transaction fees.
Leveraging Cronos’ dual-chain architecture, Moonlander promises scalability coupled with remarkably low transaction costs, thereby facilitating high-frequency trading and creating diverse passive income opportunities for users. To further bolster security, the platform employs real-time PYTH oracle feeds that safeguard against manipulation and unjustified liquidations, enhancing user confidence.
The investment from Crypto.com Capital will primarily be allocated toward expanding the Moonlander development team, optimizing platform features, and executing robust marketing strategies aimed at boosting user adoption and liquidity. Currently, Moonlander boasts an impressive Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeding $33 million and has exceeded $2 billion in cumulative trading volume, indicating substantial early traction within the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape.
An exciting update for users is that Moonlander’s governance and utility token, Full Moon (FM), has been recently listed on the Crypto.com App. This listing provides millions around the globe with access to the token, which plays a crucial role in both trading and platform governance.
Moonlander is not merely a trading engine; it strives to innovate user interaction within the DeFi space. The platform incorporates social features such as token-specific chat rooms, real-time leaderboards, and narrative-driven markets that connect to global events, political happenings, and online culture. This approach positions Moonlander as a bridge between the crypto community and broader speculative markets, redefining trading as a collaborative, community-focused endeavor.
With the backing of Crypto.com, Moonlander is poised to catalyze further innovation and drive adoption within the realm of decentralized derivatives, promising the global crypto community a more efficient, secure, and enjoyable trading experience in the near future.
