Every step,
done on Web3.
From understanding Web3 to connecting trading, vaults and AI.
Web3 Basics

Not just using the internet,
but owning digital assets.

Web3 is a blockchain-based approach to internet applications: a wallet connects you to apps, smart contracts execute on-chain rules, and the public record can be checked by anyone.

Wallet

Connects you to apps, with your authorization.

Smart contracts

Execute on-chain actions by programmed rules.

On-chain records

Transaction and asset records, publicly verifiable.

On-chain and off-chain work together: the DEX and vault connect to on-chain protocols; communities, CEX channels and AI services can be linked off-chain.

Web3 concepts reference: Ethereum.org

A Place for Market Makers

Letting market makers connect to trading markets and on-chain vaults.

Web3 on-chain channels are live,
next we onboard cloud providers,
and go to market.
This is where we are. Here is what comes next.
What I'm Doing Now

Three things, in order.

1

Fix up the storefront

TakoDex keeps updating compliance and product features; the AI trading panel goes live read-only first

In progress
2

Build the volume

Build a core trader group first; let the vault speak through its on-chain record, and grow depositors step by step

In progress
3

Connect overseas

Vietnam and Malaysia: bring the community and marketing model to the table; overseas market makers and Web3 channels come on board

Nine protocols, platforms and cloud infrastructures, each connected by its own line.
Ecosystem
