The Saakuru Protocol Agreement’s 2024 roadmap includes the launch of “Taffy DEX,” which is detailed in this article. It explains the three main functions of Taffy DEX and the integration model of DEX with the public chain.

A Layer2 protocol centered around Web3 users
Saakuru
is a Layer2 protocol based on the OP Stack architecture, dedicated to unleashing the true potential of blockchain technology through three ways:
Fast transactions (less than 300 milliseconds): Reduced latency, providing seamless real-time interaction
Enhanced security: Saakuru ensures transaction security and minimizes the risk of hacking attacks.
Ease of use: No more need for gas fees, Saakuru aims to make Web3 accessible to crypto users, including beginners.
Why no need for Gas fees? The Saakuru protocol creates a credit-based system to maintain its blockchain’s operation without Gas, helping to reduce transaction costs and accelerate ecosystem growth. Developers can obtain credit points by staking $SKR tokens, which will be updated at the beginning of each month based on the staked amount.
Saakuru officially launches Taffy DEX
One of the key elements of the Saakuru Protocol’s 2024 roadmap is the launch of “Taffy DEX.” Taffy is a professional decentralized exchange (DEX) based on the Saakuru protocol, which is also an innovative Gas-free network aimed at eliminating transaction costs from the user experience.
Taffy DEX, as the DeFi layer of the Saakuru protocol, holds significant significance for the entire ecosystem. Taffy DEX is expected to increase the TVL (Total Value Locked), bringing more capital flow and users to the ecosystem.
Taffy DEX, as a fork of Uniswap v2, not only brings a verified DEX model but also significantly enhances transactions in the GameFi sector and SATS, surpassing traditional DEX in functionality. The main features introduced are as follows:
Gas-Free Swap Transactions
Taffy DEX allows users to trade top meme coins and GameFi tokens deployed on the Saakuru chain without paying Gas fees.
The total transaction fee is 0.3%, similar to Uniswap V2, but without Gas fees.
16.67% (0.05%) of the fees are rewarded to holders staking Taffy tokens. The Saakuru team holds 25% of the Taffy team tokens, used for staking to earn protocol revenue. Some reward tokens will enter the “Trade-to-Win” prize pool.
The remaining fees are paid to liquidity providers (LPs).
Currently, trading pairs such as SKR/USDC and SKR/OAS are already live, supporting fast gas-free transactions.
The liquidity pool of Taffy DEX is crucial for the platform’s liquidity and the availability of trading pairs. Liquidity providers (LPs) earn transaction fees based on their asset-related trading activities by depositing assets into these pools. In addition to incentivizing users to provide liquidity, it also allows them to earn passive income from holding assets.
Taffy’s staking pool provides users with the opportunity to stake tokens to earn rewards, further integrating the gaming community into the DeFi ecosystem. These pools not only help secure the network but also allow token holders to earn additional token rewards by participating in staking, making them particularly attractive to long-term holders looking to maximize their earnings.
In the case of Uniswap, when someone trades assets you provide liquidity for worth $1000, 0.25% of the fee ($2.50) is distributed among all liquidity providers. When you withdraw liquidity, you will receive a share of the accumulated fees based on your proportion of holdings in the liquidity pool.
It is worth noting that besides providing liquidity to earn fees, Taffy DEX also offers another way to earn more rewards through staking. After users provide liquidity, they can stake their LP tokens (tokens received after providing liquidity) in short-term locked staking pools. The rewards from these pools come from various GameFi communities.
As of May 28, 2025, some staking pools have offered up to 2300% APY (Annual Percentage Yield), with a locking period of only 1 month. Stakers can earn SATS and USDC tokens based on their preferences.
Trade to Win
Taffy DEX is set to introduce an innovative “Trade to Win” feature to reward users for actively participating in the platform. Users accumulate points when trading on different liquidity trading pairs, which can be used to redeem in-game items and participate early in new projects, gamifying the trading system by combining finance with entertainment, enhancing user experience, and providing real rewards beyond trading gains.
Additionally, Taffy DEX plans to introduce a lottery feature to add excitement and potential high returns for platform users. Participants can join the lottery with a small amount of holdings, with the chance to win larger prizes, integrating traditional gaming elements into the crypto trading environment. This feature is expected to further enhance user engagement by combining the stimulation of games with financial incentives.
In fact, current Layer 2 protocol governance tokens, besides being able to create proposals and vote, usually have no direct relationship with the protocol itself. The Saakuru team aims to generate protocol revenue through decentralized financial activities on the Taffy DeFi platform.
Currently, the Taffy DeFi platform is the only decentralized exchange on the Saakuru Protocol, but there are plans to expand it to other protocols in the future. This means that trading activities on other protocols will also generate revenue for the Saakuru Protocol. This diversified approach to revenue sources strengthens the utility and value of the TAFFY token.
By leveraging the gas-free feature of the Saakuru public chain, Taffy not only facilitates seamless (real-time) and economically efficient transactions for GameFi tokens but also positions itself as the hub where gaming and DeFi intersect.
