Hercules is no exception to this rule. With this principle in mind, Hercules has been focusing on improving the dapp to provide a better user experience, as demonstrated with the recent release of:\n- A new swap page with live chart and token/project information.\n- The first-ever limit orders on Metis.\n- Natively integrated cross-chain swaps.\n\nThese innovations directly improve user accessibility, but innovation alone is not enough to attract users. Thus, Hercules is joining the Metis Journey as the first launch partner. The Metis Journey initiative will guide users through the DEX with a time-limited marketing campaign to build anticipation and drive simultaneous user participation, ensuring users engage with and experience the new platform together.\n\nMetis Journeys is the perfect solution to Hercules' user onboarding challenge. By providing step-by-step guidance through the new interface, users will:\n- Gain confidence in using Hercules and features.\n- Progress from new users to power users who are fully integrated into the ecosystem.\nAdditionally, Hercules will utilize Metis Hero's fair reward distribution mechanism to offer rewards that retain value within the ecosystem, such Yield-Earning LP (short-term locked LP positions accruing APR) with Nitro rewards - instead of rewards that evaporate once they reach users' wallets.\n\nBringing Metis onchain volume is Hercules' top priority, and so should be for all Metis dapps such we can thrive as an ecosystem.", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "HerculesDeFiLabs", "projectTwitter": "TheHerculesDEX"}
