Komodo, a blockchain interoperability and atomic swap technology leader, has rebranded its flagship end-user application from “AtomicDEX” to “Komodo Wallet” and renamed “AtomicDEX API” to “Komodo DeFi Framework.”
This rebranding effort aims to make Komodo technology more accessible to everyday crypto users and blockchain developers by aligning the projects’ technologies closer to the well-established Komodo brand, the firm mentioned in a press release shared with AlexaBlockchain.
The Komodo DeFi Framework consists of two APIs, the Wallet API and DEX API, offering developers a comprehensive solution to launch DeFi applications such as non-custodial wallets, cross-chain DEXs, IDO portals, and all-in-one solutions. All of Komodo’s products will now fall under a new unified brand umbrella called “Komodo SDK.”
According to Komodo, the firm has three long-term project goals with these changes.
Firstly, it aims to attract new crypto users by emphasizing its market leadership in non-custodial wallet technology. By positioning itself as a wallet-centric brand, Komodo aims to present its unique technology to a growing community of crypto holders who are increasingly moving their funds off centralized exchanges.
Secondly, the rebranding effort aims to reach more blockchain developers by renaming “AtomicDEX API” to “Komodo DeFi Framework.” This change better reflects the multi-faceted nature of Komodo’s developer solutions and appeals to various crypto projects, enterprises, and independent developers.
Thirdly, brand unification supports a larger initiative to highlight the growing importance of the KMD coin within Komodo’s ecosystem.
Komodo plans to implement a mechanism where a small amount of KMD will be burned for each DEX trade within the Komodo Wallet. The project also aims to make KMD a deflationary asset by reducing the active user reward and the block reward for KMD.
Kadan Stadelmann, CTO of Komodo, sees brand unification as a pivotal moment that captures their vision for a decentralized future.
By consolidating all of their brands under the umbrella of Komodo SDK, Stadelmann believes that new opportunities will arise, enabling them to push the boundaries of what is possible in the decentralized space.
Stadelmann expressed confidence that the Komodo Wallet, the renamed flagship application formerly known as AtomicDEX, will establish a new industry standard. The Komodo Wallet is positioned as the ultimate all-in-one application, serving as a non-custodial wallet, crypto bridge, and cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX).
The project will consolidate its content to one website domain and users will notice the name changes across Komodo’s applications, website pages, and social channels.
The team anticipates a seamless transition as they work towards providing a decentralized, user-friendly, and comprehensive technology suite.
