At the beginning of this year, core contributors embarked on a mission: to significantly crank the trading experience on Kwenta in preparation for the upcoming launch of the new V3 Perps mechanism. With freakish attention to detail, engineers have completely overhauled all facets of Kwenta, from the landing page and beyond.

As we embarked on our redesign we found ourselves at a crossroad while debating the structure of our new landing page. Some advocated for a traditional multi-page layout, while others championed the simplicity of a single-page design. Today, alongside many other exciting upgrades we unveil which concept was crowned the winner.
Welcoming new & existing users with actionable market tickers, a set of the most recent blogs & essential information on a single, easy-to-navigate, user-friendly page, prioritizing clarity and efficiency.

As we evaluated feedback from traders on existing product, and common thread emerged: the existing dashboard was unintuitive and more of a nuisance than a tool.

Nothing was left untouched!
Recognizing the crucial role of information availability, we have enhanced the clarity and visibility of pertinent details regarding trading activity on Kwenta.Previously, crucial details such as canceled or failed orders were obscured, and the surfaced data points were limited & unclear, at times impeding traders' ability to gain insight into their Kwenta activity, often necessitating visits to etherscan 🤮.
This update, we are unveiling these previously concealed data points and more, providing users with a transparent view of their Kwenta account activity, re-empowering them.
Introducing a New Settings Menu: With expanded options for traders and upcoming options, we've created a dedicated space for them U+2699.
