Globally– August 11, 2025 – The W Chain community proudly announces the launch of OG 88, a new community-driven meme token. Created by a long-standing member of the WCO community, the token will be exclusively listed on the newly launched decentralized exchange (DEX), W Swap. This milestone showcases the power of a community to innovate and build on the W Chain platform.

The name OG 88 is inspired by the powerful symbolism of the number 88, which represents abundance, prosperity, and success in numerology. It is considered an angel number signifying positive financial opportunities, a core theme that aligns with the token’s mission to empower its community.

A Token for the Community, by the Community

Danny (Doozerdan_Wco ), a dedicated WCO community member, conceived and developed the OG 88 token. This initiative highlights W Chain’s commitment to empowering its users to build and innovate.

” I created OG 88 to show what’s possible when a community truly leverages the technology at its fingertips,” said Danny. “W Swap isn’t just a DEX; it’s a powerful and intuitive platform that made it possible to turn a community idea into a real token. This

initiative is a testament to our shared spirit of innovation and shows how W Chain’s tech empowers us to build something meaningful, together, for future growth.”

The launch has already garnered significant attention and positive feedback from the community.

“W Swap’s user-friendly design for farms and liquidity pools has been praised by our WayFinders and community reviewers, and this positive feedback has been crucial to our success,” said Arijit Das, Senior Manager – Marketing and PR. “To build on this momentum, we’re launching a ‘Questing Campaign’. This ‘engage to earn’ event will drive W Swap usage, incentivize $WCO staking, and reward our community advocates, ultimately converting active users into long-term W Chain supporters.”

OG 88’s Impact on the W Chain Ecosystem

The launch of OG 88 and its performance on W Swap are already demonstrating the potential of the W Chain ecosystem.

“The performance of OG 88 on W Swap is a clear indicator of our platform’s potential,” said Harsh Wardhan Gupta, Head of Product. “We’re seeing an impressive 500% APY with a standard 0.25% farm liquidity pool fee. This has already led to a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $400,000 and attracted five new project requests, all of which benefit from W Chain’s easy access to multiple liquidity sources. This success validates our core mission: to build a robust, scalable Layer 1 ecosystem that empowers communities and projects to thrive.”

Community members are also celebrating the launch.

“I’ve been a part of the W Chain community for a while, and it’s amazing to see one of our own create a project like OG 88. It feels great to have a token that truly represents our collective spirit of growth and success.,” said Dave (Thedavey92), a long-time W Chain community member.

“The OG 88 launch is exactly what the W Chain ecosystem needed, Projects like this make me even more confident in the future of W Chain and its ability to attract both new users and developers.” added Steeve (Spartan_Steeve), a W Chain validator.

Global Release – July 3rd, 2025, W Chain, a leading innovator in blockchain-powered financial infrastructure, has officially launched W Swap, a next-generation decentralised exchange (DEX) built natively on the W Chain blockchain. This milestone is complemented by the debut of WAVE, the protocol’s high-yield incentive token designed to power sustainable decentralised finance (DeFi) growth. Since its launch on 17 June 2025, W Swap has experienced remarkable early momentum, with daily transaction volumes surging from just 100 pre-launch to 4,520 on 22 June, signalling strong community interest and early adoption across key markets.

Built on W Chain’s high-throughput, low-fee Layer-1 blockchain, W Swap employs an Automated Market Maker (AMM) model that enables efficient liquidity provision through initial pools such as WCO/USDT and WAVE/WCO. Liquidity providers earn 0.3% trading fees, distributed via LP tokens, while also benefiting from elevated WAVE emissions—particularly during the early adoption phase. The architecture has been optimised for ease of use, capital efficiency, and accessibility for both experienced DeFi users and newcomers.

The WAVE token, which launched staking functionality on 20 June 2025, is the cornerstone of W Chain’s incentive structure. Users can stake LP tokens to earn WAVE in addition to trading fees, or directly stake WAVE tokens themselves to earn projected yields of up to 700% APR. Within weeks of launch, WAVE is already trading at 300% above its initial price, a reflection of strong market demand and effective tokenomics. Furthermore, 10% of all emissions are directed to a protocol-owned treasury, ensuring “unruggable” liquidity and reinforcing W Chain’s commitment to long-term sustainability.

Community feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting both the usability and performance of the platform. One early user, Danny , commented:
“W Swap is just what we’ve all been waiting for—fast, slick, and a great starting point for W Chain’s journey into DeFi. We can now bridge from Ethereum and BNB Chain into W Chain and farm using the Wave platform. Currently, the APRs are massive, and we’re building our bags. A great project with a great team to work with.”

Echoing this sentiment,Gary, another active community member, noted:
“W Swap has a clean, crisp UI that is simple to understand—even the less experienced members of the crypto community will find it easy to use. We’re still early in terms of adoption, but as more trading pairs are added, the platform will become even more appealing. W Swap ties seamlessly into the farming, bridge, and pooling functionalities.”

Looking ahead, W Chain is preparing to roll out its next major protocol upgrade—WSWAP v4—targeted for Q4 2025 to Q1 2026. This version will incorporate significant enhancements inspired by Uniswap v3, including concentrated liquidity, multiple fee tiers, non-fungible LP positions, and a time-weighted average price (TWAP) oracle. These core upgrades will vastly improve capital efficiency and integration capabilities across the DeFi stack.

Beyond the foundational features, WSWAP v4 will introduce several advanced innovations aimed at extending functionality and improving user experience. These include a Hooks Framework to enable programmable logic during swap and liquidity events; a Dynamic Range Auto-Rebalancer offering passive and active liquidity strategies; and an ERC-20 LP Token Wrapper to allow NFT LP positions to be used across lending, staking, and yield farming applications. Additional improvements include fee booster mechanics, staking integration with WAVE and WCO, gas-optimised smart contracts, cross-pool routing, and DAO-governed extensibility for secure and flexible protocol evolution. Real-time analytics, profit tracking, and integration with W Chain’s native oracle layer will further enhance transparency and capital decision-making.

With a clear roadmap, rapidly growing user base, and high-performing DeFi primitives already live, W Chain is positioning itself as a leading platform for decentralised finance in Asia-Pacific and beyond. The combination of strong infrastructure, user-centric design, and high-yield opportunities provides a compelling case for liquidity providers, yield farmers, and developers alike.

Pi Coin has sparked considerable interest due to its innovative mobile mining model and strong community support. However, as 2025 draws near, its investment potential remains uncertain when compared to established altcoins like Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano. Experts point out several challenges Pi Coin faces, such as its transition to an open market, regulatory hurdles, and the need for real-world adoption.

How Pi Coin Compares to Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano

Pi Coin’s community-driven mining approach makes it accessible, but experts argue that accessibility alone doesn’t guarantee success. In contrast, other established altcoins offer proven utility:

Solana is renowned for its high-speed transactions and thriving DeFi and NFT ecosystems. Dogecoin benefits from strong community-driven adoption and potential institutional interest.

Cardano focuses on scalability and smart contract development through a research-driven approach.

Anish Jain, CEO and Founder of W Chain, says, “Pi Coin remains an untested rival. Solana excels in scalability, Cardano in peer-reviewed innovation, and Dogecoin in cultural momentum. Although Pi is original, its value proposition lacks the track record of these assets.”
