Here\u2019s What Has Changed"},"content":{"rendered":"
SpiritSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on Fantom, will no longer be shutting down its operations in September after it received a takeover offer from Power, another Fantom-based DeFi protocol. The proposed shutdown was a result of cross-chain protocol <\/span>Multichain\u2019s collapse<\/span><\/a>, which had a significant impact on the Fantom ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n On August 9, SpiritSwap <\/span>announced on Discord<\/span><\/a> that it is \u201cwinding down\u201d operations and is looking for a team to take over the project after its treasury was drained in the Multichain exploit. The protocol initially planned to shut down by September 1, 2023, but it appears that won’t be happening anymore after Power\u2019s intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n This would come as a relief to several SpiritSwap community members, especially those who have the native token SPIRIT locked on the protocol. According to the <\/span>protocol\u2019s website<\/span><\/a>, there are currently over 410 million SPIRIT tokens locked.<\/span><\/p>\n On August 16, the SpiritSwap community <\/span>approved the proposal<\/span><\/a> to hand the keys of the protocol to Power, a non-fungible token platform on Fantom. Power has now proposed to deposit 200,000 USDC into the SpiritSwap treasury.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading: Stellar Breaks Free: Unleashes New Open-Source Disbursement Platform<\/a><\/p>\n The team behind the NFT platform stated in the proposal that the deployment of these funds into the treasury is <\/span>the first phase of ensuring that SpiritSwap survives. Meanwhile, Power claims to hold more than $1 million in liquid assets across multiple chains \u201cready to mobilize for use\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n In the proposal, the Power team clarified that it has also been developing its own decentralized exchange, PowerSwap. Then, it laid out plans to integrate some designs of the new DEX into SpiritSwap.<\/span><\/p>\n It is worth mentioning that Power was also impacted by the Multichain exploit. Fortunately, the protocol\u2019s treasury assets were not bridged to Multichain, leading to relatively small losses.<\/span><\/p>\n The Fantom ecosystem was the biggest victim in the Multichain exploit in July, which resulted in a <\/span>total loss of over $126 million<\/span><\/a>. The attack seemed to have specifically targeted the protocol\u2019s Fantom bridge, causing a drain of more than $120 million worth of assets.<\/span><\/p>\nPower To Deposit 200,000 USDC Into The SpiritiSwap Treasury<\/span><\/h2>\n
