Saakuru Protocol

<p>One of the major items on the Saakuru Ecosystem roadmap for 2024 is the launch of <a href="https://taffy.finance/stake" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Taffy DEX, the DeFi layer of the Saakuru protocol</a>. This is significant for the ecosystem because it will serve as the backbone for DeFi activities, significantly contributing to the growth of TVL and supporting accessibility to various assets on top of the Saakuru protocol. We are very happy to announce that the first version is already live.</p>
<p>Let’s have an overview of the features Taffy DEX will provide to its users and why it will be so attractive to the “Degen” communities. Here is a comprehensive overview of all the features and benefits.</p>
<p>Taffy is a collaboration between 3 separate companies:</p>
<ul>
 <li>Taffy core team</li>
 <li>Saakuru (Blockchain protocol)</li>
 <li>Decouple Ventures</li>
</ul>
<p>Saakuru Lab, as one of the founding members, actively participates in the development of the platform</p>
<h2 id="header-0">So what is Taffy?</h2>
<p>Taffy is a <strong>specialized decentralized exchange (DEX) </strong>built on the Saakuru blockchain protocol, a pioneering gasless network designed to remove transaction costs from the user experience.As a fork of Uniswap v2, Taffy brings t<strong>he trusted mechanics of a proven DEX model</strong> but with significant enhancements tailored for the GameFi sector and the trading of <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/satoshi-sats/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SATS (Bitcoin Satoshi-pegged token)</a>. The integration of staking pools within Taffy allows gamers and crypto enthusiasts to engage more deeply with communities and their tokens, providing a dynamic platform for interacting and earning rewards.By leveraging the gasless nature of the Saakuru chain, Taffy not only facilitates seamless (instant transactions) and cost-effective trading of GameFi tokens but also <strong>positions itself as a hub for the community at the exciting crossroads of gaming and decentralized finance</strong>.</p>
<h2 id="header-1">What can you do with Taffy DEX?</h2>
<p>Let’s go through the features one by one.</p>
<h3 id="1-swap">1. Swap</h3>
<p>The first version of Taffy provides users with access to swap top official MEME coins with no gas fee. This will allow users to avoid the headache of spending precious native coins for their trading activities.</p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/b37534ad8dc8492ebdb966395800f2aa.png">
<p>Overall <strong>trading fee on Taffy (DEX Fee) — 0.3% </strong>(similar to Uniswap V2, but no gas-fee cost)</p>
<ul>
 <li>~16.67% of the fee (0.05%) will be rewarded to Taffy token holders who staked the token. The Saakuru team owns 25% of Taffy team tokens, which will be used to stake for protocol revenue from the fee share. The rest of the team tokens are owned by other founding members. Part of these reward tokens will go to the “Trade-to-Win” pool.</li>
 <li>The rest of the fee will be paid to the liquidity providers (LPs).</li>
</ul>
<p>Saakuru will also launch pairs and liquidity pools on top of Taffy DEX so Saakuru holders can facilitate Gas-less trading with instant transactions. Initially, <strong>Saakuru will launch pairs SKR/USDC and SKR/OAS</strong>.</p>
<h3 id="2-liquidity-and-staking-rewards">2. Liquidity and Staking rewards</h3>
<p>Liquidity pools on Taffy play a critical role in ensuring the platform remains liquid and trading pairs are always available. By depositing assets into these pools, liquidity providers earn transaction fees based on the trading activity related to their contributed assets. This incentivizes users to supply liquidity, supporting the overall health and efficiency of the exchange while enabling them to gain passive income from their holdings.</p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/3bb172918683459299ce7a4a2bc00e05.png">
<p>Staking pools on Taffy offer users an opportunity to <strong>stake their tokens in return for rewards</strong>, further integrating the gaming community into the DeFi ecosystem. These pools not only help secure the network but also allow token holders to earn additional tokens as a reward for their participation. <strong>This feature is particularly attractive for long-term holders</strong> looking to maximize the yield on their holdings.</p>
<p>When someone swaps $1000 worth of assets you have provided liquidity to on Uniswap, a 0.25% fee ($2.50) is distributed across all liquidity providers. The moment you withdraw your liquidity, you will claim your share of the accumulated fees based on your proportion of ownership in the liquidity pool.</p>
<p>In addition to earning fees for providing liquidity, Taffy DEX offers another excellent way to <strong>earn more rewards through staking</strong>. Users who provide liquidity can also stake their LP tokens (tokens received after providing liquidity) in <a href="https://taffy.finance/stake?order=active" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">short-lockup staking pools</a>. These pools generate rewards sourced from various GameFi communities.</p>
<p><img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:788/0*Fo9JetX1PtXs2fMW"></p>
<p>As of May 28, 2025, some of the pools offer up to 2300% APY with just a 1-month lock-up period. Stakers can earn SATS and USDC tokens based on their preferences. Additionally, Taffy, Saakuru, and their partners will soon provide more short-lockup staking pools.</p>
<h3 id="3-trade-to-win">3. Trade to Win?</h3>
<p>In the near future, Taffy DEX will introduce the innovative “Trade to Win” feature, designed to reward users not just for trading but for actively engaging with the platform. As users trade across various liquidity pairs, they will accumulate points that can be used for dual benefits: redeeming in-game items and securing early access to new projects launched on the platform. This gamified trading system enhances the overall user experience by merging finance with entertainment and deepens user involvement by offering tangible rewards that extend beyond the trading floor.</p>
<p>Taffy plans to introduce a lottery feature, adding an element of excitement and potentially high reward for platform users. Participants will be able to enter the lottery using a small amount of their holdings, with the chance to win larger sums — integrating a traditional gaming element into the crypto exchange environment. This feature is anticipated to drive further engagement by combining the thrill of gaming with the financial incentives of cryptocurrency trading.</p>
