After the IDOs we will have an Initial NFT Offering on our own platform

AMA Twitter Section Begin:

Q1: PancakeSwap several times outperformed Uniswap in terms of capitalization.But no BSC exchange offers users a reasonable liquidity migration scheme. Does Alium offer some sort of intelligent migration to combat this state generated by the large fluidity of exchange?

Denis Denisov: Well, we have a couple of solutions for this problem

First of all — AliumSwap offers a very high % for Liquidity Providers, which incentives users to choose our Platform

Secondly — we have a fully Audited Liquidity Migration solution developed and ready for Release

Thirdly — we are developing extra incentives for Liquidity Providers in the future, such as Smart Farming and Staking, as well as providing ALM Holders with extra benefits while providing liquidity of using any of our services

Q2: Alium Finance announced a few days ago that the project is now officially working on HECO. How do you expect that your integration to the Huobi ECO Chain will boost the development of your project? What are the main benefits that this will bring to you as a company?

Denis Denisov: HECO is a very promising Blockchain with a fast Developing DeFi ecosystem — by providing a Bridge for HECO to other Blockchains we are planning to help HECO develop even further by allowing safe, quick and convenient transfer of funds there and back.

Huobi is one of the top players on the market with enough experience and funds to Challenge BSC dominance on the market, and our CrossChain Bridge to HECO will allow us to acquire users and Liquidity, while helping them with their goal

In addition, we are Participating in HECO Grant Hackathon, which will help us to get exposure and demonstrate the quality of our Product and strengthen our relationship with HECO, allowing us to move closer to an official partnership

Q3: Alium supports the BSC and Huobi Eco chains … I wonder why not the Ethereum Network? Since it is one of the most popular., Do you have plans to add more networks to your platform?

Denis Denisov: We are planning to integrate Ethereum, Matic, Near, Avalanche and OKExChain in the near future
The future of Ethereum is not clear at the moment with ETH2.0 on the horizon, so we didn’t rush to implement it first to allow us to focus on Promising and Emerging Markets

Q4: Southeast Asia is a very vibrant market and many project developed here so with Your project what do you think about Southeast Asia and do you have any plan to develop here ?

Denis Denisov: Yes, South East Asia is a fast Developing Crypto Space
