OpenOcean STIP Final Recap

DAO Grant Programs Biweekly Updates (STIP)
1

Summary

During the STIP program, we have achieved significant milestones and have brought a positive effect on the Arbitrum ecosystem. With the strategic movements, we brought an additional 60k active users and $300m in transaction volume to Arbitrum, both significantly surpassing the initial KPIs set.

OpenOcean as a dex aggregator, the growth in our platform also generates economic value and volume to all integrated dexs/liquidity sources, since every swap made on our platform will bring users, volume and fee revenue to liquidity pools routed. In addition, with collaborating partners that use OpenOcean routing service, such as Camelot, we offered extra gas fee rebates while users swapped on the protocol.

In addition, OpenOcean’s cross-chain swap aggregator also helps encourage more users to

explore Arbitrum from other 7 chains. We also onboarded Chainlink’s new CCIP solution on Arbitrum to better support users and other protocols bridging assets to Arbitrum.

Moreover, our collaborative efforts with over 10 protocols integrated our API to bootstrap active users, trading volume, and swaps, bringing diversity to the Arbitrum ecosystem. This approach has fostered innovation and growth within the Arbitrum ecosystem, marking a growth and development on Arbitrum.
