Unveiling KRAV V1

The KRAV decentralized perpetual crypto quanto exchange, supported by Arthus Hayes’ Maelstromfund, has announced the introduction of KRAV V1 to transform decentralized trading.

The team at KRAV made the announcement through a post on X, highlighting the launch of KRAV V1 and outlining the enhancements for users.

New Features of V1

V1 showcases an enhanced trading interface aimed at enhancing usability and information display. It introduces improved trading widgets and altcoin dashboards, enabling users to engage in trading with leverage ranging from 2 to 200x using altcoins.

Moreover, V1 offers a permissionless pool that allows anyone to set up a collateral token market swiftly, providing an opportunity to earn yield by establishing a pool. Users can navigate to the liquidity page, click on create, specify the token address and quantity of tokens to LP, and create a collateral market within minutes.

Additionally, V1 introduces enhanced risk mechanisms that are dynamic, enabling the management of collateral markets of varying sizes. KRAV is committed to actively monitoring each pool and trader feedback to ensure a favorable trading experience coupled with prudent risk management.

The KRAV team has also hinted at future expansions, including the migration of liquidity from the Beta Version to V1 in the upcoming days. They plan to announce strategic integrations with newly onboarded tokens.

Understanding KRAV

KRAV stands out as the pioneering decentralized quanto perpetual futures protocol, aiming to extend the utility of quanto perpetual futures to all on-chain altcoin markets.

Unlike conventional financial derivative contracts, KRAV comprises a set of smart contracts allowing individuals to utilize their altcoin tokens as collateral in perpetual futures contracts to gain leveraged exposure to BTC and other assets.

Profits and losses are settled in the altcoins used as collateral, with the outcome dependent on the fluctuations in BTC's price in USDT.

In essence, KRAV empowers users to speculate on Bitcoin's price movements using an altcoin as collateral, with the payout in the collateral currency linked to BTC's price changes in USDT.

Arthur Hayes spearheads the KRAV initiative, and the project team asserts that it marks a significant shift by extending the practicality of perpetual futures to encompass a broad range of on-chain altcoin markets.

For operational credibility, KRAV leverages advanced blockchain technology and decentralized oracles. The platform leverages Chainlink's oracle network to secure real-time price feeds, ensuring precise asset valuation.
