Scheduled for deployment on Bitcoin L2 Stacks on March 19th, Dharma is poised to broaden the horizons of DeFi functionalities within the Bitcoin network.

The debut of Velar’s V1 Dharma marks the advent of decentralized exchange, enabling the seamless on-chain trading of token pairs.

Dharma equips users with sophisticated financial instruments for liquidity provisioning, trading, and asset management.

Upon its inauguration, Dharma will support two token pairs, with plans for additional tokens to be integrated in the subsequent days. Initially, STX-ABTC and STX-AEUSDC will be available for trading, with the promise of more pairs being introduced over time.
