Data Source: Footprint Analytics & Footprint DeFi360

Some other things about BabySwap:

• It has its own eponymous series of NFTs.
• It has a $100,000 growth fund to launch GameFi projects.
• The recommended swap path is USDT-[token], which players are used to using, rather than BNB or BUSD as recommended by other DEXs on BSC.

How to use BabySwap

• As a traditional trader, you can swap long-tail tokens that are not included on PancakeSwap. The fee is 0.3% per transaction.
• As a yield-focused investor, you can earn rewards by pledging LPs of both tokens you hold, e.g. BABY & DAI , for providing liquidity.
• As an NFT enthusiast, you can buy BABY’s own NFTs to hold or trade. If you like adventure and excitement, you can also buy the Blind Box series.

• As a gamer, you can go through the games shown on the BabySwap website to experience different games and get some rewards.
• As a project owner, you can showcase your project on BabySwap as a Friend. This gives you the opportunity to gain publicity and to receive support from BabaSwap’s Growth Fund.

BabySwap’s Venture to GameFi 

While BABY has built out many application scenarios, users tend to exchange the BABY they earned for other tokens such as BNB.

So in December 2021, BabySwap launched The Crypto You, creating a new sub-token, MILK, which requires a minimum of100 BABY to start playing the game. This increased the number of ways to use BABY and enhanced the BabySwap ecosystem.

Tokenomics of BabySwap

• BABY

BABY is a BEP-20 standard token with a total supply of 1 billion, emitted at a rate of 576,000 tokens per day andexpected to be released gradually over five years. One percent of BABY is used for initial liquidity issuance, 19% is used for ecosystem building and development, and the remaining 80% is allocated to the BABY community.

In the future, BABY will be deflationary thanks to its burning mechanism. 0.05% of each transaction, 2% of each revenue from the reinvestment pool, 10% of the baby casting upgrade fee for the chain tour The Crypto You, and 1% of each NFT transaction in the playground will be burned.

BABY can be purchased directly on the exchange, earned through mining, yield farming, providing liquidity, or redeemed directly with vBABY, which is the symbol of BabySwap’sVIP membership.

As of March 27, the price of BABY was $0.24, with a historical peak of $3.83 on Dec. 7, 2021. This is mainly influenced by the launch of the chain game The Crypto You (starting the game requires spending at least 100 BABY for an NFT.)

Footprint DeFi360 – Pools Overview For BabySwap

Looking at the overall provision of liquidity, the last 90 days have seen a fluctuation in user-provided liquidity, but an overall increase. The overall change in liquidity removed by token redemptions is roughly similar to the change in liquidity added. However, the total amount of liquidity removed is relatively higher.

This results in a greater number of days of negative net liquidity growth than positive growth for the LP pool on BabySwap over the last 90 days.

Net Liquidity = Liquidity Added – Liquidity Removed

• DEX- Trade

Looking at Footprint DeFi 360’s last 90 days of data, BabySwap’s trading volume is actually showing a slight downward trend. This may be related to the overall market trend, where users are more inclined to place tokens in savings agreements to earn stable interest rate returns.

In line with the change in the number of transactions, the number of transactions is still declining overall, although there is a small rebound occasionally. However, the average number of transactions is still stable at around 2.5 thousand per day.

Active BabySwap users almost all trade, with relatively few providing liquidity in group LPs. Single-day active users, weekly active users, and monthly active users are all declining.

Not only are there fewer active users doing LPs, but there are also fewer new active users doing LPs every day. Even in the last 90 days, most of the time, there were no new users doing LPs, and most of the new users stuck to trading.

Conclusion

While BabySwap offers many features, it has not been able to come near PancakeSwap’s leading position.

One of the reasons BabySwap launched its own game was to increase application scenarios of their platform token. And so far, it has been somewhat successful.
