Polkstarter’s Co-Founder and CEO Daniel Stockhaus explains, “Polkastarter will address a multi-billion dollar industry that is currently experiencing growing pains like scalability issues and high fees. Using Polkadot, Polkastarter will provide greater flexibility for users and projects looking to experience a DEX that is truly interoperable. We are excited to work with Polkadot to make this happen.”
Polkastarter’s native token, $POLS, has a total supply of 100 million tokens, with 42.5 million sold. The team will dedicate a part of these funds to a Uniswap listing with added liquidity to provide a fair chance for the Polkastarter community members around the world to acquire tokens. Upon listing on Uniswap, Polkastarter will have an initial market cap of $893,750 and a fully diluted market capitalization of $5 million. Team and advisor tokens will be locked for at least one year and seed/private round investors will also be subject to a vesting schedule between 3 to 8 months.
