I'm Ashton Addison from Block West capital for investment pitch media and today on the Crypto Coin Show we have back with us Alan ta the CEO of rosion exchange Alan thank you so much for taking the time and welcome back to the show Ashton thank you thank you it's been a while since we last spoke I believe it was maybe two years ago and I'm glad to
be back yeah likewise glad to see you and Rosie on Exchange doing well you know we spoke in the in the 2021 run when everything was doing really well and honestly it was tough for a lot of crypto companies in 2022 but now it looks like the market is recovering and I'm glad to see rosion still standing strong expanding and with lots of updates to talk about not just over the
past two years but what's happening right now with the huge expansion into rosion X layer two's arbitrum all of this let's dive right into it I would love to kick off our conversation with just a high level for those who aren't familiar with rosion and a little bit of the details on what you and the team have built around the derivatives exchange and then we'll dive into all
the details okay yeah you know let me start a little bit of History Ashton and I we met two years ago 2021 where we launched Rosie on app so the idea was to build a mobile user-friendly D5 aggregated back then it was it was you know D5 just entered it was new and it was it was it was quite dangerous people were
Getting lots of high apar but at the same time there was lots of runs so the idea was for us to aggregate all the legitimate defy application and services onto the palm of our you know in your head in the mobile app so we did that for almost two it's been two years now we've fully developed the mobile application we met all all of our roadmap commitments and then
of course we witnessed the fall of FTX which really dragged the entire Market down so you know our token went down I think 5x from ideal and as a team we're like you know we love to do what we do we love to build we love to build applications we love to build communities right now our community and our investors are hurting and we wanted
to do something different so we took a little pivot we saw the opportunity and we decided we wanted to build an exchange a decentralized Exchange so that's why we're here today is We've introduced The Exchange we're going to be re swapping or are you know introducing a new token to replace the old token and the launch should be happening
within weeks amazing thank you for the background Alan and I feel like the timing for decentralized exchange couldn't be better you know with the fall of centralized exchanges and centralized yield generation platforms last year people are understanding that you know they need decentralization to have custody of their funds and also more importantly be able to swap them
to other assets without giving that custody to a third party which they may or may not be able to trust so I feel like the timing is really good on this can you talk about you know the positioning you know I've spoken to a few other decentralized exchanges who launched last year and they were hurting as well but now I feel like this is a major narrative moving forward if
people are going to be swapping they're going to be wanting to use the Dex so what's the positioning and what do you think is most in demand for what people need for a decentralized exchange right now yeah yeah so that there are two key parts right so one is the governance part right now our current token the rose on token or the original token it was just a utility token
this is the reason why we're swapping to a new token it's a governance okay we want to give back Power to our community so for example We've launched over 30 Ideo on our Launchpad the last year and you know we wish we could have created a dow and give our community the opportunity to vote for which projects would appear on a launch pad so then that way they can
self-govern the entire process and that's just one aspect of what we are planning to the other thing with rose on X is it's a purp we're launching the perp first the perp is the derivatives platform so the ability to long and short you know during this bear Market to 2022 our Revenue was very little it's just because we were a D5 application and the
D5 application was based on staking so you know hold and earn rewards it was very passive we wanted to be more an active investing opportunity and at the same time it can weather the bear market so you can short like if it's a bear Market just keep shorting and you're making money while you're making money our platform will be making fees
so we can and then of course you know it looks like the Walmart Market is coming people will just continue to long and then the opportunity to leverage your long at at 50x so you can borrow as much as 50x of your original position yet yeah that's good to know especially with some of the spot decentralized exchanges there's no way to do Advanced
orders or to short and it hopefully it looks like you know there won't be as much shorting with the crazy run that's happened this last week and maybe people are shorting the banks I'm not sure it looks like crypto is going up now which is exciting for the whole industry and to bring more awareness to you know people that want to trade to be
able to use these decentralized exchanges and perks as well and one other part I'm curious about with the exchange is you know what we've seen some from some of the major decentralized exchanges when they came out they were just running on ethereum ecosystem they had high fees and they're slow and from what I understand you're integrating whether it's layer twos or
other technology to scale and make sure that you know if there's small Traders using rosian that they're not you know having a high fee and not being making it worth it to actually trade yeah so you know when when we built the mobile app we built it on ethereum and finance marching and at that moment minus my chain was one of the most efficient blockchain
then and of course ethereum being the biggest chain but now the you know the landscape has changed the l2s have proven themselves polygon is has done very well but then you have this new project that came out of left field you know Arbor Trum it just took everybody by storm it's extremely fast and because we're doing perp trading derivatives training
Every second counts and the cost the fees are on Arboretum is extremely low and the chain is extremely fast in executing transactions so we've decided to move towards that direction we've already moved our mobile app and our infrastructure to support arbitrum and then of course once the exchange launches within a few weeks that will immediately support Arboretum that's
great to know and I saw an announcement that you know in the in the in a few weeks it's been launching but there's I didn't see a specific date now I'm curious on you know how long your team has been working on you know this lead up to the launch now and if there is any specific time frame that's that people can look forward to for you know getting
into it on day one yeah yeah so from the platform side we're we're going to be making announcements this week when we will when the platform will be ready I would say within four to six weeks we'll be ready and then of course the new token were already having the audits of our token so that the swap should happen within
three to four weeks we're gonna have the full timeline by then this week we're going to publish everything and I believe once everybody knows that we have things in place you know it will be very will bring a lot of confidence into the community back to the community it's great to know and one other part that I saw that looks like it's coinciding with the launch is
these passes rosian passes and I'm not sure if it's an nft or a membership for Early Access members where there's advantages and bonuses when you're actually you know for people that are an engaging deeply in the exchange can you talk about that part and what's the added value for the pass holders in the exchange yeah yeah so you know we believe in if we do launch or sell any
nfts they have to have utility and the beauty with Roseanne is we have two applications we have a mobile application which is a D5 aggregator so you know the idea with the mobile aggregator is a it connects to every D5 services and then of course we have the text the perp text now so the utility would be you have access you have fee discounts yeah you know it's going to
support nft avatars and then of course referrals and Affiliates you know higher commissions there's a lot of utility so we're we're making sure that this first nft launch that we have for rose on X or the new rose on it's going to be you know has high utility you should be able to use it for both applications
okay that's good to know and I've been following the markets a little bit and it's been great for Bitcoin and ethereum it was just the start of 2023 but also saw a huge Resurgence with Rosen token as well much more than you know many other dexes and things like that so it looks like it's been very well for your team and I think part of it is probably
the anticipation of this swap to the rosion X token is there going to be other opportunities for people that you know weren't involved with Roseanne in the previous app where they don't have the current soon to be older token right now that maybe they could pick up the older token for the swap or is there going to be an airdrop or other incentivizations where
they actually just use the application to get some of the benefits from the rosion X token yeah so every token Holder will have a one-to-one swap and of course everything we do we always we always think about our original our original investors our community first so everybody will get a one-to-one swap if you have your tokens in our mobile app
it'll be you don't need to know worry about anything it'll happen automatically if you're staking in our app it will just happen automatically your rewards will be updated automatically with the new tokens you don't have to worry if you have our tokens held in your own wallet we will provide a guide where you can go on our swap portal to manually do
swap if you have tokens on our many the exchanges that we support mxc gate and kucoin we're working with those guys closely we want to make sure that it's seamless to the investors or to the users itself but again the key the key benefit of this nft pass and the new token holder is we're going to give you higher you know higher APR when you stake because you
already a holder you probably have a VIP status in our current app that carries on to the new world so we don't forget that you were a VIP one two three or four you continue on and you will reap those benefits as VIP members very exciting and from from what I understand with the app you know it not a lot of these
decentralized exchanges and defy apps actually have an app but this is available for people in the app stores and if they want to prepare you know to best prepare for this new launch it's probably a good idea to download the app in the mobile app store and then look at the defy yields and probably stake some of the Rosie on tokens in there to make it the
most seamless and prepare for the continued growth what I'm seeing in the market for the rosion X launch yeah so is it just available on all mobile phones it's on Apple on Apple store it's on Google we have more than 300K downloads we have 307k user base all over southeast Asia all over the world except us except us
You know we've been around for a while now and I think that's probably why we had such a positive impact from the arbitrary Community as they never heard of us and then as soon as we committed ourselves to joining their community and then they wrote they read our background they're like wow these guys have been around forever we've been building since you know during the bear
Market we were heads down building building and building we did not give up we knew that this day would come we knew that you know every Bowl comes there and then back to the mall so it's it's a it's it's every cycle right we understand we've seen many cycles so we anticipate it and we just made sure we played the long game amazing well I'm looking forward to this
launch and where are the largest you know communities where people can jump in to the Rose on community and follow along with the team's updates and talk to other people that are that have been using the application and are excited for the Rosie on X launch yeah yeah you can you can follow us on Twitter or join our Telegram you know we're we're very active
on both platforms we have a very supportive community and even in our absence our community members would stand up and speak for us so that's beautiful you know there's a lot of people coming into our telegram asking questions the community members are now stepping up and say hey this is how this is done this is done so makes our job really easy it's really easy and this is
really fun it's been a great great year guys we did a 17x we did a 17x since January we took our token from the bottom back and above ideal price and I've received many many personal messages from our original community members and investors and they said you know these are the things they said wow this is unbelievable I've forgotten about this story and I did not know we
have pretty much put everyone's portfolio back on track amazing we'll keep up the amazing work Alan and I'm sure the good times will continue with this upcoming launch I'm excited for it I'm gonna put the links to the social platforms for people to follow along for the upcoming announcement of the dates of the launch and the links to the App Store apps so people can download it and
check out staking for the rose on token and I will be following along as well so all the best with this moving forward and congratulations so far on the great success and keep the good times rolling so thank you Alan and let's follow up in the near future thank you Ashton and thank you everyone we're really excited it's a great year and it'll be much better
