### Permissionless, Regenerative, Decentralised.

KyotoSwap is an Automated Market-Maker (AMM) that bridges the Kyoto network to other compatible EVM blockchains. Enabling peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency exchanges through secure smart contracts. The platform does not require any sign-ups, and users can provide liquidity through these contracts, earning a share of trading fees from the permissionless trades facilitated by KyotoSwap, and in some cases, a further bonus paid in governance tokens.



KyotoSwap is the first Automated Market Maker to gamify tree planting through its governance token. This unique feature enables liquidity providers to plant trees at zero cost with the KSWAP rewards from providing liquidity on supported cryptocurrencies.&#x20;



KyotoLabs, KyotoFoundation, and the Kyoto community are important in the growth of KyotoSwap, ensuring compliance in a permissionless environment through progressive decentralization. The KSWAP token began as a rewards token for liquidity but will evolve into a governance token with a DAO made up of community stakeholders deploying the treasury to grow protocol value.
