Stablecoin DEX aggregator Tower Exchange said it has been selected for the Arc Accelerator Program. Before that, the project took part in the Programmable Money Hackathon.
The team said the product came out of a specific problem on Arc: liquidity is spread across multiple DEXs, increasing costs for traders. Tower Exchange said it built its stablecoin aggregator to address that issue. The project has also appeared at a Demo Day hosted by Encode Club and Arc, where it presented its progress to the Arc team.
Arc expands accelerator cohort to 12 projects
Arc ecosystem builder dinhdat said the accelerator cohort was expanded to 12 teams from an original plan of eight because of the quality of submissions.
