OpenOcean has a native token dubbed OOE that is currently in the process of being distributed among the community members. “The project is currently engaged in an airdrop of 1% of its OOE tokens to early users. It is also planning to distribute 34% of the total OOE supply through liquidity mining rewards over the next five years, with pools in various public chains aggregated on OpenOcean, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Ontology, and Tron,”.
There are several advantages that come with holding OOE tokens in the OpenOcean protocol. One, OOE token holders can participate in the protocol governance. Besides, they are entitled to gas subsidies and also be used as collateral for lending in the Defi ecosystem.
As the cryptocurrency industry grows exponentially fueled by the increased demand from institutional investors among retail traders, the need for professional services is significantly needed, where OpenOcen is coming to fill.
