Interviews

DEXTools AMA

In a DEXTools AMA, Fernández discussed DEXTool's development, integration of the Polygon blockchain, and plans. He explained that DEXTools began as a project for IDEX before expanding to Uniswap, driven by community demand. While the platform values community input, it was unlikely to transition into a full DAO due to legal challenges. Fernández emphasized that the platform's success relied on product quality and community engagement rather than traditional marketing. He also mentioned ongoing developments, including a token explorer and an in-platform aggregator, to enhance user experience. ^[6]

About DEXTools

He explained how DexTools began as a personal project to assist with trading on decentralized exchanges, particularly during the volatile market of 2018. Despite challenges, including server overloads due to unexpected user growth, the team persevered and expanded the platform's features, such as the Pool Explorer and Wallet Info tools. Fernández also shared his views on Bitcoin, seeing it as a store of value rather than a currency for everyday transactions. ^[7]
