Kittenswap

Kittenswap points straight at the DeFi end of crypto, where the useful thing is not the coin itself but the exchange mechanism around it. By our assessment, that makes it relevant to people who already know decentralized trading, token swaps and the trade-offs of doing that without a central broker. The strength of that model is direct on-chain swapping and less reliance on a single gatekeeper; the weakness is the usual DeFi burden of slippage, liquidity limits and a steeper learning curve than ordinary payment apps. Kittenswap is not trying to be a broad currency, and that narrower role is exactly what defines it.
