The future of Sifchain is aDecentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and, for DAOs to self-sustain, they need access to massive capital. We believe that building cross-chain liquidity will be fundamental to the future of the blockchain industry: an expectation, not a feature.Sifchain is built on the Cosmos Software Development Kit (SDK). Therefore, it is compatible with other Cosmos Network blockchains like Kava, Akash, and Terra via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. As such, it is 100 times more efficient than Ethereum-based DEXs like Uniswap in terms of both trading fees and transaction speed.As a decentralized exchange, Sifchain combines the best elements of liquidity pools and order books for optimal order execution.
