could @bronto_finance successfully replicate early success of @KittenswapHype?
that's the question we probably need to ask given the similarities between the two dexes.
thanks to @NelsonRodMar, @Solofunk_ and @Barthazian for input today.
numbers in table and thoughts ⤵️
i've changed my stance a little after various discussions, but i'm not flipping bullish just yet.
as @Barthazian pointed out, kittenswap is a fork of shadow dex which is a fork of aerodome.
bronto is to megaeth what kittenswap is to hyperevm.
bronto is running an almost identical playbook to kittenswap.
at peak, kittenswap nft minters were up about 30x, but of course their tokens were locked unless they took a XX% penalty.
bronto hasn't revealed penalty yet, but i expect it to be similar.
the kittenswap nft itself (mechacats) traded at a discount but was still up almost 20x at peak.
could bronto do similar numbers?
a few things to consider:
- kittenswap minted nfts while on hyperevm mainnet, vs bronto still on megaeth testnet
- was huge amounts of liquidity and hype on hyperevm at that time, so liquidity/appetite instantly there in abundance
- bronto minters will have to wait for mainnet for tokens and full dex launch, and that could affect, even kill, any secondary market for nfts
- but, kittenswap also had X months between nft mint and tge (albeit all on mainnet)
- we don't yet know how bronto itself will fair and what tvl will look like come mainnet
- running identical playbook isn't particularly encouraging
- can bronto compete with other dexes? can the playbook be run again under these conditions and succeed?
imho, i think it's risky for bronto to do a paid mint like this so early (feels bit extractive), but as i said, i do appreciate that teams need to raise funds to build/survive.
they are trying to frontrun additional competition.
but their comms could have been better/clearer on all of this (eg transparent tokenomics). although response from the team today was measured and calm.
i don't think bronto can be as successful as kittenswap (being a copy of a copy of a copy). however, a lot can happen in next few weeks/months.
as i said, i do like the platform, too.
mp at XXXX eth is certainly more attractive. i don't like the higher mint price (0.02 eth) for bad bunnz and frens though, i think that needs to go.
overall, is it enough? does this change your opinion at all?
please (always) feel free to correct any errors.
