BladeSwap is a 'veDEX' that returns 100% of platform fees to token holders and redirects emissions 100% through voting in its governance structure. (Since we've eliminated the rebase mechanism that discourages new participation, we no longer call it ve(3,3))

Many DEXs based on Solidly/Velodrome have controlled emissions through voting, but those who have used them know how inconvenient and inefficient they were. It was too complex, requiring dozens of transactions each week and makes you grab a calculator to predict next week's yield.

## Simplified until it can't be simplified further!

BladeSwap focuses on providing a convenient and web2-like experience that saves your precious time and gas fees by supporting native batch transactions. It allows you to bundle various actions into single Tx, eliminating the need for multiple approvals, staking, and repeated claims for each rewards.
