Nearly 14 months ago, we launched the Steemleo tribe on the Steem blockchain. Launching a community and creating the LEO token was an amazing achievement and it took a lot of effort to get to that point. We had created a model for the LEO token that worked and since the beginning, have been an active and thriving community of crypto and finance creators.
It's been an exciting few weeks on the Hive blockchain. The introduction of wHIVE showcased what is possible when you create a bridge between blockchains. Now, you can wrap your HIVE tokens and utilize wHIVE for ETH-based protocols like the Uniswap DEX.
Last month we put out the first report that tracked the LEO vs HIVE rewards for the top authors on the LeoFinance platform. This gave all of us a lot of insight into what is happening as second-layer token rewards for LEO authors are starting to "flippen" first-layer HIVE rewards.
We've made a lot of progress on the new Hive-based interface for LeoFinance. In case you don't know, we're currently running on a forked version of condenser and nitrous. We have some additions and changes that have been made over the past year since our community was created, but a few months ago it became clear that we needed to build our own interface from the ground up.
The highly anticipated LeoDex V5 update is now live! We've introduced a lot of highly requested features along with an aesthetic overhaul to the entire interface. We've also migrated LeoDex to it's own domain. It was previously located at and now you can access it at (the old domain will redirect users to the new one).
You may have seen yesterday's post by @swap.app in which they added @leodex to the swapping function for Hive-Engine tokens. Now, you can swap LEO for HIVE and HIVE for LEO using swap.app. Bitcoin and Ethereum support will also be added in the near future which will allow us to swap LEO for BTC/ETH or even swap BTC/ETH directly into LEO. This will be an exciting development, especially for onboarding/bringing in new LEO investors from outside of the HIVE ecosystem
