Introduction

Trader Joe is the new all-in-one decentralized trading platform for the Avalanche Network. Unlike most other DEXs, Trader Joe combines DEX services with DeFi lending to offer users a leveraged trading experience as well. The origins of Trader Joe were born from a blended desire, to create a unique and truly innovative trading platform that would resonate with the emerging superiority of the Avalanche blockchain, whilst also serving a global and burgeoning audience at the frontier of the decentralized finance industry. Users can Trade tokens with the AVAX automated market maker, stake their LP tokens into over fifty Farms to earn JOE tokens, stake JOE for revenue sharing, or borrow and lend assets across ten pairs with Banker Joe. Trader Joe’s main tool is hard work and innovation, aiming to provide new solutions and experiences. Trader Joe has set out to serve the community at the forefront of DeFi by innovating, building fast, and most importantly, building securely. The ultimate goal for Trader Joe is to build a trading platform, that provides users with a true ‘one-stop-shop’ DeFi experience. Where users of the platform have the ability to immerse themselves into a fully integrated, highly accessible DeFi trading experience.

Just like on other chains, To operate on Trader Joe you’ll need some Avalanche (AVAX) to pay for gas and buy other tokens on the chain. For almost all users this means you’ll need to buy some tokens on your favorite CEX and transfer them to your Metamask or other Avalanche compatible self-custody Wallet. Trader Joe is a fully decentralized exchange, meaning that any token on Avalanche can be swapped or pooled on the platform. Trading is Trader Joe's most popular feature and convenient tool to swap any token
