History of your project ?
HorizonDEX, formerly known as beatX, made a strategic decision to rebrand and transition from PulseChain to Linea. The move was driven by limitations encountered on PulseChain, including the lack of developer tooling, a gated ecosystem, and declining trading volume. Linea's zkEVM compatibility, ConsenSys backing, and advanced developer tools offered compelling reasons for the migration. The rebranding represents a new identity as HorizonDEX aims to become the main liquidity hub within the Linea ecosystem, providing efficient trading services.
The journey began in early 2023 with rigorous research and development during the Conceptual Phase. The team closely studied existing DEX models, particularly Uniswap-V2, identifying challenges like low price impact, impermanent loss, and low capital efficiency. Recognizing the potential of the Linea platform, they chose it as the ideal foundation for their project.
In Phase 2, focusing on product development and community engagement. The introduction of an incentivized testnet campaign proved immensely successful, attracting a large and enthusiastic user base. During this phase, HorizonDEX also formed valuable partnerships with Linea and other high-potential ecosystem projects, synergizing resources and expertise for mutual growth.
As Phase 3 approached, HorizonDEX focused on safety, undergoing three independent security audits to ensure a secure mainnet environment. The mainnet launch paralleled Linea's mainnet launch. And just after the mainnet launched being the 1st DEX live on the entire Llinea ecosystem we got immense love from the community that we hit 15 million trading volume in 1st week only.
