Introduction To Trader Joe

Table of Contents

When it comes to liquidity and user activity Trader Joe is surely the leading automated market maker on Avalanche. The platform started out as a simple AMM and farming protocol but new features have been added constantly and Trader Joe evolved in a small but very powerful ecosystem.

What Is Trader Joe? #

Trader Joe is a decentralized exchange running on the Avalanche blockchain. You can use it for token swaps, staking, farming, lending and even NFT trading. The main goal of the platform is to provide users with a one-stop solution for all things DeFi on Avalanche.

What Features Are Available On Trader Joe? #

Trading – Token swaps and spot trading for most Avalanche tokens.

Farming – Liquidity providers can earn extra rewards on top of their LP fees by depositing their LP tokens into farming contracts on Trader Joe.

Staking – The JOE token can be staked in various staking contracts. Stakers share platform revenue fees, gain access to token launch events or increase their farming revenue depending on the contract they are using.

Lending – Users that deposit tokens in the lending protocol can then use that capital as collateral to take out loans. Interest rates vary depending on the asset that you are depositing/borrowing.

NFT Trading – Trader Joe also has an NFT marketplace where users can trade their Avalanche-based NFT tokens. Token minting is also available.

What Is The JOE Token? #

JOE is the governance token of Trader Joe granting holders and stakers with revenue sharing and governance rights. JOE stakers receive 0.05% of all trades as rewards.

Token distribution follows a fixed supply and decaying emissions model. There was no presale and the only way to obtain newly-minted JOE tokens is through farming, staking and all other methods outlined in the distribution model.

Total supply – 500,000,000

Months to emit – 30

Liquidity Providers (LP) – 50%

Treasury – 20%

Dev Team (3 month cliff) – 20%

Future Investors (3 month cliff) – 10%

JOE emissions end on January 3rd and no new tokens will ever be minted again. As far as future development goes there is no clear roadmap for now but the team did announce the release of a “Liquidity Book” that should be coming in Q3 2022.

Conclusion #

Avalanche users will surely find Trader Joe very valuable considering all of the services and yield farming opportunities it has to offer. Once you start using all of them you quickly realize that you barely need any other protocols for your day-to-day DeFi activities. In a highly competitive environment Trader Joe kept providing new solutions and tools for its users and that is the main reason why it is still the number one exchange on Avalanche.

  • What do the risk ratings mean?

Our mission here at RugDoc is to screen for hard rug code that results in 100% theft of ALL underlying funds for ALL participants.

This is the ONE part of the due diligence process that most people cannot simply do on their own as it costs thousands of dollars to hire a senior solidity developer to look over a farm for safety.

A project coin with terrible code can go up in price, and a project with good code and a good team can also go down in price.

Do NOT use our ratings to refer to your likelihood in making money if you invest in the project. They are ONLY in reference to code safety.

Everything else beyond code safety is YOUR responsibility to go do research on. We just make sure the casino you’re betting in won’t rob you before you even get to place a bet.

Our reviews for projects are organized into a few colors.

🟢 Least Risk
These projects are the least likely to hard or soft rug. Usually reserved for cornerstone projects of an ecosystem where it makes no financial sense for them to rug in any manner as they make more money just being legit.

🔵 Low Risk
These projects are usually established projects in an ecosystem that have a track record of success or have KYC’d to us or other authoritative sources in the real world. As a result, it is extremely unlikely for them to soft rug or hard rug their projects. The projects can still fail and the token price can go down, but usually more as a result of natural market forces.

⚪️ Some Risk
This is the default rating for projects with unknown teams but have code that is unlikely to have hard rug risk. Since the team is unknown and doesn’t have a track record of success, it’s entirely possible that they may try to soft rug by dumping tokens, abandoning the project, etc. Even a last minute contract swap to a malicious contract is possible. The only thing that is unlikely is a complete hard rug as long as you are 100% sure you deposit into the contract we review.

🟠 Medium Risk
Similar to Some Risk, but the underlying code itself is custom enough or complex enough that it warrants an elevated risk rating that needs deeper research. Make sure you read every point presented to make sure you’re comfortable with that before entering. Still unlikely to hard rug, but more chances of custom code behaving incorrectly and causing other issues.

🔴 High Risk
Project contains code or practices that are HIGHLY LIKELY to lead to catastrophic losses as they are right now. Make sure you read the description carefully as we will always warn what these issues are. If you see the words Hard Rug anywhere in the review, STAY FAR AWAY!

⚫️ Not Eligible
We reserve the right to not review exceedingly complex projects that would require tens of thousands of dollars of senior security analyst man hours. Typically these are projects that deal with leverage, lending, options, derivatives, and anything that is overly complex and which requires tons of peer reviews and audits from top audit companies.
