Amidst regulatory sanctions, DDOS attacks, and the general market downturn that has impacted the activities of the leading play-to-earn gaming platform, STEPN launched its decentralized exchange (DEX) on 11 June. By a whitepaper published by the team, the DEX was referred to as DOOAR. The DEX allows the users of the gaming platform to provide liquidity in its native tokens – GST/USDC or GMT/USDC pairs.
According to data from Dune Analytics, STEPN’s DEX DOOAR recorded a daily active user index of 66052 users on 30 June, putting it atop the list of DEXes with the highest daily active users on the Solana Chain.
Now, you may ask, since the launch of the DEX, how STEPN’s GMT and GST-SOL tokens have reacted?
