what's moonshot?
Moonshot is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain, incubated by Alliance DAO, specializing in the trading of meme tokens. It provides a user-friendly platform for buying, selling, and launching memecoins with features like fiat onramps, self-custodial wallets, and token verification to enhance safety and reduce rugs or duplicates. Moonshot has onboarded over a million retail traders and processes significant trading volume, partnering with entities like Coinbase for USDC integration and Jupiter Exchange for automated verifications. The platform emphasizes accessibility, allowing free token launches where creators can earn fees without initial sales, and supports mobile trading on iOS and Android.
Moonshot ranks 10th among Solana trading bots/tools by current usage and volume metrics.
