Navigating the Future of Decentralized Trading: An Interview with Athena DexFi

Navigating the Future of Decentralized Trading: An Interview with Athena DexFi

Daniel Morosan, COO at Athena DexFi, explores how the project offers innovative decentralized trading tools, managed presales, and real estate investments, enhancing user experience and security within the DeFi landscape.

What are the exclusive tools available on Athena DexFi for trading, and how do they compare to those on centralized platforms?

D: On Athena we focus heavily on offering features that allow beginner  users to mitigate risk on their investments as much as possible. We offer managed presales for high quality vetted projects, with large VC backing, where the user does not even have to manage their own sell-offs for their tokens, Athena takes care of everything and delivers realized profit for the user.

The same applies to trader contracts, where skilled traders perform asset management for users, and bring them back realized profit. Users will be able to check the trader’s past performance, which is immutable and pulled directly from the trader’s past transactions on the trading contract. The trader must also select which pairs they will trade during the contract setup, and the trader will never be able to remove user funds from it, but only to trade them through the contract.

What challenges has Athena DexFi faced while transitioning from a centralized digital asset brokerage to a decentralized platform? What new features have been introduced during this transition to enhance security and user experience?

D: We have always been Decentralized at our core, and have always focused on the DeFi landscape ever since starting work on Athena DexFi 3 years ago.

How does Athena DexFi enable users to participate in new IDOs without needing platform tokens?

D: We allow users to participate in new IDOs directly through USDT, simplifying the investment process, and making it more accessible.

Can you explain how the managed presales services work and what benefits they offer to users?

D: Our managed presale journey starts with our research team that scouts the blockchain for the most promising upcoming launches, and manages deals where we receive access to their sales. Afterwards we share the access to these tier 1 sales to our community, allowing them to benefit from our research and industry contacts. The main benefits we offer are quality of projects, and simplicity of investment. Users simply have to invest USDT in the presales, and we will manage the rest, sending back realized profit for the user.

What are the steps to create a secure trading contract on Athena DexFi?

D: The steps for the trader contract setup are quite intuitive, and traders will have to set up their platform account, deposit token, min/max contribution, funding period, trading period, trading pair and special features such as stop loss, limit orders and short orders.

What are the benefits and potential risks associated with copy trading on Athena DexFi?

D: There is always the risk that the trader you are investing with could make a wrong assessment about the market and result in a loss. That’s why it’s important to study the traders you invest with.

How does Athena DexFi integrate real estate investments into its platform? 

D: We are quickly moving into RWAs with Athena through the acquisition of various apartments around the world that will be up for sale for users of Athena DexFi by simply allocating USDT.

What are the advantages of entering the Real World Asset (RWA) market through Athena DexFi?

D: Through Athena users can have an experience they’ve never had before, receiving property ownership fully through the blockchain.

Which external decentralized contracts has Athena DexFi integrated, and how do they enhance platform security?

D: Most of our smart contracts are either done in home, or taken from tested backgrounds and improved with our team. All of them are also audited by third parties.

How does the token discount system work for ATH holders? What are the requirements for users to benefit from the discounted prices on digital assets?

D: We do not offer discounts on assets, but we do offer a leveling system, that allows users to keep more of their profit from the platform to themselves.

What are the commission rates for users who open trading contracts and are followed by other users?

D: Commissions on Athena range from 50% of realized profit to 20% of realized profit. Users can lower their platform commissions by staking ATH and increasing their ATH level.

What criteria must influencers meet to participate in the referral program without locking ATH tokens?

D: Any influencer can freely participate in the referral program and they can earn easily by bringing active users to the platform.
