BurgerSwap is here to Stay!

We are extremely thankful to our great community for helping us reach such great attention and volume during the first days after we launched the BurgerSwap platform. And we want to take the opportunity to update you about the current situation of the project and our next steps.

Application for the Binance Smart Chain DeFi Accelerator Fund

We believe that the Binance Smart Chain has the potential to be one of the major PoS ecosystems and we would be glad to grow together with it.

We have been in contact with the Binance Smart Chain team since shortly after launching and feel encouraged to apply for their $100 million DeFi and CeFi Accelerator Fund to support development of our AMM and ecosystem.

We have submitted our application and hope it will be granted, so we can work to reach the next level with support of the Binance Smart Chain community and bring even more users, traders and liquidity to Binance Smart Chain.

UI improvements

Rome wasn’t built in one day. And if you have read our articles about the origins of BurgerSwap, you know that our unique technology has been in development for a while, but we have just recently created the UI around it to enable users to trade BEP20 assets in a decentralized and democratic manner.

BurgerSwap is still a raw product, but we are definitely here to stay. We have received lots of positive reactions from the community but also some feedback aimed at the user experience, which we know is not flawless yet but we are working around the clock to improve it.

To speed up the process, we are looking to expand our team with talented UX/UI designers and smart contract engineers who are willing to contribute and add value to our project. Working at BurgerSwap is more than just a paycheck. It’s an opportunity to build a successful future with the perks and flexibility of a side gig. We are open for applications, send us a DM in Twitter at: twitter.com/burger_swap

Governance

Our experiment with community governance has been quite successful. Many proposals have been created and executed and around 2 million staked BURGER are pledged per vote.

Again, we are aware the system is not perfect and we are working on improving it. After comprehensive observation of the space and the usage of our governance system, we are realizing that some changes should be made to ensure sustainability of the model.

Some ideas we are playing with at the moment are:

  • Display APY for staking, voting and providing liquidity
  • Burning BURGER tokens in the voting process to add more value for token holders and participants in our ecosystem
  • Ideas around the maximum supply of BURGER to be able to determine the long-term value of the project
  • Add more DeFi functionalities to the platform to create a complete DeFi experience on Binance Smart Chain

Moreover, as we are a democratized exchange, we highly value input form our community and are open to more ideas which lead to improvement of usability, governance and number of users. Please send your ideas in DM to Twitter at: twitter.com/burger_swap

Following a Successful $30M Fundraise, Camp Launches K2 Public Testnet and Summit Series Campaign

Camp Network today announced the launch of its K2 public testnet for its Autonomous IP Layer 1 blockchain, alongside the Summit Series ecosystem campaign where users can traverse through live applications on Camp.

Summit Series offers users the unique chance to explore and engage with Camp’s growing ecosystem by completing onchain quests through a customized campsite frontend experience. The first set of decentralized apps are live for its Phase 1 launch, with dozens more rolling out in the coming months leading up to Camp’s anticipated mainnet release later this year. Camp’s ecosystem partners collectively reach over 5 million users and creative works, offering contributors a pathway to shape the future of onchain IP.

“We invite the community to join us as we hike toward the mainnet summit,” said James Chi, Co-Founder of Camp Network. “This is a chance to help shape the future of AI-native creativity and onchain IP provenance via live applications on Camp.”

The public testnet follows Camp’s recent $30M in total fundraising, including a Series A round co-led by 1kx and Blockchain Capital. Powered by its Proof of Provenance protocol, Camp enables users to register and tokenize their intellectual property onchain, train and deploy AI agents, and earn transparent, enforceable royalties from downstream usage. Camp’s architecture supports gasless IP registration, automated licensing and isolated execution environments optimized for agent-based workflows. It’s built to serve a new class of developers, creators and AI-native applications.

“The Summit Series kicks off a pivotal first step for our ecosystem partners. Each team has invested an incredible amount of work, and I’m excited for them to showcase what they’ve built to our community and beyond,” said Drew Rasansky, Head of Ecosystem at Camp Network. 

Camp Network is more than a blockchain — it’s a foundation for a more equitable internet, where creative work is protected, attributed and monetized transparently. Across any form of IP including art, music, film, data and videos, Camp enables collaboration between human creativity and intelligent systems, all backed by verifiable provenance.
