Hi @Userisky, Thank you for being a regular user.
Glad you like it! Our bridge aggregator is probably our most underrated feature in Oku.
Oku has an in-app support ticket system for users, which is the primary method users use to create tickets and requests. With regards to Discord, we made this change recently due to a high number of scammers trying to join the Discord as we have been growing the platform. We’re continuing to explore new methods of securing the Discord so we can remove the phone requirement.
We love to receive user feedback; feel free to DM us here or by opening a ticket on Oku.trade, or by joining our Telegram group.
Since our inception, we have offered service agreements to chains that often have a monthly fee component. Revenue from chains supports us in continuing to improve Oku and marketing the platform along with Uniswap V3 on new chains.
Everything on the Oku frontend is a standard Uniswap v3 deployment owned by the DAO. We decline requests to use our infrastructure to support forks because we are aligned with the Uniswap DAO.
Our goal with Oku is to close the gap between CeFi and DeFi usage and ultimately surpass it. To do so, we’ve been progressively expanding the feature set available and iterating on our existing features. When we initially launched Oku as a basic alternative to Uniswap v3 UI, we had virtually no usage for six months; it was not until we expanded to new chains and launched our advanced order routing system that we began to see an inflection in our usage. To compete with Coinbase and Binance, Oku will need to continue to expand its feature set and simplify the user experience.
As for why we haven’t already developed and launched v4 hooks, we have had higher priority items that the team has been focusing on. For example, for the last four months, we have been integrating Morpho to be Oku’s core borrow/lend partner, and we successfully launched our phase one user experience one week ago with Corn. We will be working with Morpho to support their chain expansion efforts, similarly to what we have done for the Uniswap DAO. For more info, feel free to read the proposal on the Morpho forum.
