Summary
PepperDex is building SpiceNet, a fast and reliable trading experience for users on Solana. They are focused on improving user experience for cross-chain interactions and are building one of the first Solana roll-ups. Their technical roadmap includes solving trust-minimized bridging, interoperability between layer 2s, and performance improvements. They are not using IBC or Aggregator at the moment but are working on their own solutions. Pepperdex has a go-to-market strategy that involves launching two separate tokens, PEP and SPICE, and incentivizing users through a sliding discount system. They encourage community involvement through their Discord and weekly calls.
