There is a niche for $DERO w/ pmts since it is much faster than $XMR & you will be able to pay in wrapped stablecoins like $DAI. I paid for a hotel in Mazatlan in DAI but we are working towards bringing wrapped stablecoins to DERO via an Ethereum-DERO bridge.
Uniswap is blacklisting Ethereum addresses that have a Russian IP address and Metamask is doing the same as well but Private Smart Contracts on DERO solve this censorship conundrum. We are looking to bring an element of privacy not possible on Ethereum and other public blockchains, i.e., Private Smart Contracts.
We are targeting early cryptocurrency adopters who may have become disillusioned with the current direction of the Ethereum Ecosystem and understand the increasing value of privacy. The Ethereum-DERO bridge allows Ethereum users to use their assets on Ethereum with the DERO platform as a completely permissionless platform.
What are their demographics, habits, and goals? Crypto whales tend to be relatively young in their 20-30s who are looking to use cryptocurrency in a permissionless manner. When and how will they be using your product? There is a niche for $DERO with payments since it is much faster than $XMR & you will be able to pay in wrapped stablecoins like $DAI. We are working towards bringing wrapped stablecoins to DERO via an Ethereum-DERO Bridge.
I have been looking to swap ETH for DERO for a while but had to resort to using Trade-Ogre to swap ETH for BTC and then BTC for DERO. This is very inefficient as far as fees are concerned (2 layers of fees) and thus this is an area where we can add significant value.
We planned to use price feeds from Chainlink for our $DTT DEX on DERO for tamper resistance and integrate WalletConnect to enable it to be mobile friendly to make onboarding as easy as possible. We also planned to use IPFS on the front-end with a view to have CryptoEscondido.crypto as our WEB3 domain for a truly censorship resistant front-end and sub-graphs from the Graph for on-chain statistics such as trading volumes, etc. for the $DTT DEX.
