- Polkastarter’s $POLS Token: 42.5 million of its 100 million total token supply was sold, with a Uniswap listing planned for liquidity.
- KYC and cross-chain functionality: Full KYC integration and cross-chain swaps, beyond just ERC20 tokens, are key features of the platform.
- Initial Market Cap: Upon listing on Uniswap, Polkastarter’s market cap will be $893,750, with a fully diluted valuation of $5 million.
Polkastarter’s goal is to tackle scalability and high fee challenges in the DeFi space by leveraging Polkadot’s interoperable network, enabling more flexible and cost-effective solutions for decentralized finance.
