Introduction

Tucana is a high-performance DeFi network dedicated to constructing a powerful trading market and creating redefined yield opportunities for the entire modular ecosystem.

Tucana Chain

A dedicated modular chain with native IBC and MoveVM, offering lightning-fast speeds and minimal gas fees. Unlike general-purpose high-speed chains that may suffer from congestions upon surged traffic, Tucana is tailored for derivatives trading, prioritizing liquidation over regular transactions.

Innovative Consensus: Proof of Tradable Value

Tucana’s PoTV enables users to restake LPs of mainstream native modular chain asset to secure the chain. It integrates validation with incentivized governance, unlocking vast amounts of modular assets currently idle in CEX or POS nodes into active on-chain liquidity. This fuels the entire modular DeFi ecosystem.

Aggregator Layer

Enables swaps from any IBC-enabled blockchain, routing orders through Tucana to secure the best prices across various AMM models, and auto-bridging to the destination chain in a single transaction. It unifies the modular ecosystem into one trading market.

Perpetual DEX

Built on the ultra-fast Tucana Chain, it combines TLP and isolated pools optimized for on-chain yields, trading flexibility, and risk management. Aiming to become the largest on-chain perp exchange in the modular ecosystem, Tucana allows any modular assets to quickly launch their perps. The PoTV-driven, over-collateralized tucUSD stablecoin can also be used in perp trading to further enhance capital utilization.
