What is JediSwap?
JediSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that operates as an automated market maker (AMM) on Starknet, which is a validity rollup platform based on Ethereum.
The operation and leadership of JediSwap are entirely in the hands of the Mesh Community, a collective united by their commitment to transparency and universal access. Members of the Mesh Community engage in cooperative activities, sharing knowledge, and generating earnings as a group. Diverse independent contributors offer their skills in areas like development, community engagement, research, product innovation, and growth strategies to support the Mesh community.
JediSwap has been operational on the Starknet mainnet since November 30th, 2022. In a relatively brief span, it has emerged as the leading protocol on Starknet, distinguished by its total value locked (TVL), trading volume, and several other blockchain-based indicators. Furthermore, JediSwap holds the distinction of being the most supported project in terms of unique donor numbers on Gitcoin grants.
