A monthly Wootrade roundup: March 2021
First testers got their hands on WOO X Beta, Wootrade launched WOO Ventures, and WooFi started supplying DeFi with centralized liquidity on BSC.
The WOO token
Let’s start this edition with some token-related topics. The second WOO buyback and burn event was completed with 817,564 tokens sent to the burn address in a single transaction on March 10. Check out the burn transaction ID to see for yourself: 0x0695b1814e92ed9402517c1d19b5eb9976c3cb26dcabc3f0ce6fad70bf6bab20
Also during the month, the Zealous Rhinos staking address for institutional clients got a deposit of 870k WOO.
Wootrade also introduced WOO Ventures — a strategic investment program that will support emerging blockchain startups and share the income with WOO token holders. According to it, 50% of tokens received from the investments will be given back to WOO holders through WOO X, staking, or DeFi applications.

WOO X
The first testers entered WOO X Beta with some exclusive staking opportunities. The newly designed WOO X staking program allows Beta users to earn zero fees and up to 30% APY. Currently, 0% interest is charged on 2X margin, which will last throughout Beta testing. If you haven’t been invited, please be patient. More invite codes to enter the program will be sent out each week until launch.

WooFi and the Wooracle
Wootrade took the first steps towards bridging DeFi and CeFi. The WooFi pools are a combination of DeFi swaps but use the more accurate pricing mechanisms from the Wootrade network itself. The first pools were established on BSC in early March.
Despite holding less than 150k split between six assets, the pools still managed some impressive daily trading volume, hitting almost $6 million right after the launch.
