‘BOO’ also serves as a governance token, meaning users can use their BOO tokens to vote on new developments within SpookySwap’s protocol.
As previously mentioned, the DEX application on SpookySwap makes it possible to swap crypto for other crypto. This will happen in the marketplace where transactions happen directly with Automated Market Makers, without the interference of a central entity.
Nowadays we are spoiled with the quantity of DEXs that are thrown at us.
 SpookySwap’s DEX allows users to swap one cryptocurrency into another in a decentralized and direct way.
Most liquid tokens are: USDC & DAI (stablecoins) |
Bridging tokens basically means, making a cross-chain digital crypto transaction. It forms a connection – a bridge – between different blockchains so they are transferable.
For example, you can use Fantom – FTM tokens to spend on a transaction to Ethereum. Since the December 2021 update, SpookySwap supports the bridging of FTM tokens to and from the Binance Smart Chain.
 SpookySwap’s Bridge allows users to bridge tokens and exchange them from one blockchain token to another.

By Yield Farming you supply liquidity to a DeFi protocol to gain high returns or rewards. You will earn for lending your tokens as you get rewarded with additional crypto that is offered in the different farms.

Other farms yield a lower APR as referred to in the image on the left. To view the complete list of the other yield farming token pairings we refer to SpookySwap Farms. |

We think that SpookySwap, as a native DEX on the Fantom ecosystem, can become very popular. It has diversified products and a lot of features needed for giving the optimal user experience.
Also the recently NFT products: ‘Magicats NFTs’ makes SpookySwap all-rounded in all area’s of blockchain use-case. SpookySwap’s Halloween theme also adds ligh heartedness to the users experience.
SpookySwap is built on the Fantom network and it is mostly known for its DEX application that allows swapping tokens but it’s much more than that, offering a variety of DeFi features.
Next to earning passive income with yield farming and staking, it also has a feature that allows you to bridge tokens from one blockchain to another, and hereby making cross-chain transactions possible.
