Motoswap's Ethereum DEX Launches with Fee-Sharing Model
Motoswap has launched its decentralized exchange (DEX) on Ethereum, introducing a novel fee-sharing model that rewards traders and liquidity providers. This move comes as more DeFi projects are emerging on EVM networks, with Robinhood Chain and Circle's Arc going live in recent months.
The company claims that on-chain volume is driven by memecoins and trench traders, who prioritize speed and attention over settlement. Uniswap became the default venue for this activity not because it was built for it, but because there was nowhere else to go. Motoswap's architecture differs from V3's concentrated liquidity, which rewards professional market makers at the expense of ordinary participants.
The launch mechanics of Motoswap involve deploying a token that opens two pools: TOKEN/ETH and TOKEN/MOTO. Half of the MOTO pool is locked under the token permanently, creating demand for new tokens as a result of MOTO's inherent value rather than narrative.
