Komodo's DeFi Vision
A New AtomicDEX Release
New Marketing Direction

August Highlights

From AtomicDEX to AtomicDeFi

By Kadan "ca333" Stadelmann
Decentralized Finance, or DeFi, is currently on everyone's lips. For over six years, we at Komodo have been building what can be categorized as DeFi technologies. 

In case it is not clear yet, Komodo is DeFi!

Our long-term vision is to be the ultimate cross-protocol platform for all things DeFi. We aim to provide developers with the infrastructure necessary to launch decentralized applications for derivatives, synthetic assets, non-fungible tokens, real-world assets, and much more.

With this in mind, our team has decided to expand AtomicDEX to AtomicDeFi.

New Marketing Direction & Community Discussions

By Audo Kowitz

We have a new direction for marketing. 

Komodo is a decentralized open-source project, and our most valuable asset is our community. We are going to play into our strengths, and our marketing team is now looking to make incremental changes to guide our marketing back to its community roots – so that we become a truly community-driven project. That means we will have a lot more community discussions, community collaboration, and increased transparency. 

We already have that in our culture, and it's just about switching the lights back on. The most exciting aspect of this is that this decision has caused a lot of excitement within our entire Komodo team.

DeFi discussions have been running hot on our Discord. We hosted a dedicated discussion channel to clarify what this all means for Komodo. We also have an active internship program. Our interns are looking to host various community discussions and brainstorm new ideas to expand our community.

We will be actively sharing marketing updates on a new Komodo marketing channel. If you want to stay on top of what's going on, come visit our headquarters on Discord.
