I got very 'comfortable' on Hive over the past 5 years plus...I never really pushed myself to learn things outside of the eco system. And that's my fault, I just felt like this was my home.
But it's obvious, if you want to grow, you have to push yourself....You have to get outside your comfort zone. #leodex is doing that!
I am $LEO first! It's my token and community that I feel caters to 'Jongo' the most. The social side of things is right up my alley, but as Khal has been really transitioning to get outside of the Hive bubble....It scared me because...Well I know NOTHING about crypto, outside of the Hive eco system!
Oh, really? I thought you were into crypto and knew a lot about it.
It was Hive that also gave me an understanding about crypto even though I had joined Pi Network, I didn't understand it, was hopeful to digest it all someday.
Yeah, real Lions are stuck on INLEO and we love it that way. Haha. 🦁
Thats the game plan going forward, so in about a week from now, I'll have a few hundred bucks to play around in #leodex with. And then I'll do a much more detailed post about the platform....
Here's the thing, #leodex is 1000000% the future of this platform. I think there will be a fantastic relationship between InLeo (the social platfrom) and LeoDex (the trading platform) but if I wanna be a fan boy for this stuff....I need to know how both of them work....
Or else, I'm lying to anyone that I recommend this project to. I really believe you must be a product of your product, and I'm a product of the social side of things...But when it comes to trading on a dex, I'm a noob....so.....
yeah from what I understand.....i think it'll all play with how we are rewarded for creation and curation as well...done in tiers. so I think it's a two fold benefit...
We get USDC for staking on Arb.
We get tiers for the stake that determine our influence on InLeo.
that's my thinking too...i got way too comfortable on Hive, and just expected things to come to us that were patient. i still wanna be here and grow, but I can't just stay the same, need to learn new things.
Oh I misread that, sorry....Yeah I just use hive engine now for swaps...and once they enable LEO staking on leodex, I'm sure they will have details and a tool for it? I hope lol
In my LeoDex experience up to now, most routes I was interested in weren't available when I would have liked to trigger them - It can be linked to Maya Protocol having had a hard time with the Arbitrum chain for the last weeks, or simply be due to a lack of liquidity in the pairs I was looking for.
Normally, even very small amounts are swappable through LeoDex, it's not very probable that it was the hinderance's reason 🙂.
I am not sure about "routes", but I have successfully sent ARB-ETH, ETH, DASH, BTC, CACAO, and RUNE from a CEX by just copying the corresponding address from my wallet and sending it there.
BUT, everyone I saw was working with the DEX with no problems at all. And I REALLY want to learn this stuff so I made a decision tonight and got some results from it :)
Here's the thing, you have to push yourself to grow. You have to get out of your comfort zone and the more I see the plans going forward for LEO, the more bullish I get.....So I WAS going to figure this thing out, come hell or high water!
I wanna keep stacking this stuff, I have Apex Lion target in my sights....And eventually (if I understand things) I'll send this $LEO over to Arbitrum so I can get some of those juicy USDC rewards :)
So day after day, I tried to swap things and it just pumped out an error. I didn't know what else to do other then add more LTC....Problem is, Jongo literally has...Nothing left in the crypto bank lol

nah i mean, i get the idea of crypto and all, but what it was when i started and the promise of it, has changed a lot.
As a non trader Iook forward to learning too. We need more threadcasts like it on LeoDex. Thank you for the heads up.
Yeah I plan on documenting everything. Hopefully it helps people!
That’s the spirit! Your journey could be just the roadmap someone else needs. Keep sharing, it matters more than you think!
Excellent nice achievement.
So this isn't a big powerdown, I'll stop after a week....I just need some liquid crypto to transfer over to #leodex the right way!
And I'll take about 1000 Hive or so, and swap it for a token I can bring over to #leodex to play around with it going forward!
Thats the game plan going forward, so in about a week from now, I'll have a few hundred bucks to play around in #leodex with. And then I'll do a much more detailed post about the platform....

Oooops almost forgot....Why am I documenting this and plan to create a detailed post for this stuff?
Because there HAS to be others like me out there!!!
You know the ones that enjoy the social side of stuff but have no idea how to use this 'dex' stuff on a different chain.
yeah. I need a total tutorial. And what's this about sending Leo to Arb to earn USDC? Is that the new staking thing?
yeah from what I understand.....i think it'll all play with how we are rewarded for creation and curation as well...done in tiers. so I think it's a two fold benefit...
We get USDC for staking on Arb.

I think lol
I'll wait and see. I like curating but it is time for me to earn a little something to.
that's my thinking too...i got way too comfortable on Hive, and just expected things to come to us that were patient. i still wanna be here and grow, but I can't just stay the same, need to learn new things.
I need to find the tutorial on how to get my liquid hive over to leo using leodex
I just used Hive Engine.
Flipped my swap.hive for swap.ltc.....then sent the ltc from hive engine to my keystore wallet inside of leodex.
Oh I misread that, sorry....Yeah I just use hive engine now for swaps...and once they enable LEO staking on leodex, I'm sure they will have details and a tool for it? I hope lol
I can't begin to describe to you guys how happy I am lol
#leodex sent the funds right to my wallet, it took a few minutes and hopefully, there was some commissions earned for #leodex
The big boy pants actually worked!
Just like Ivan on Tech's ones, lol.
[Here's the Ivan's pants reference origin 😋]
Excuse me....
Less than 3k to go ;)
This is so awesome! You have been a man on a mission!
way too stubborn to quit now.
I feel that stubborness is a positive life trait. Tell my wife that all of the time! 🤣
yeah man. same here. my wife just rolls her eyes at me now
What a great feeling of reaching to this milestone. Consistency admirable .
Viola, finally that sigh of relief moment on hitting the target is very close.
The reason I ask, is because I'm not sure if there are 'routes' for LTC or as many as there may be for other crypto?
I do think it's simply because I had such a low number worth of tokens there...But what do you guys think?
In my LeoDex experience up to now, most routes I was interested in weren't available when I would have liked to trigger them - It can be linked to Maya Protocol having had a hard time with the Arbitrum chain for the last weeks, or simply be due to a lack of liquidity in the pairs I was looking for.

I am not sure about "routes", but I have successfully sent ARB-ETH, ETH, DASH, BTC, CACAO, and RUNE from a CEX by just copying the corresponding address from my wallet and sending it there.
Copy in the bottom right corner.
yeah i got the funds transferred no problem. just wasn’t enough lol
i’ll send like 100 bucks worth ina. few days. should be enough to play around
I do this because my CEX doesn't charge for most transfers. Your mileage may vary.
Of course, you can transfer things out from hive-engine, but there is a fee.
Notice the highlighted ones are 1% + gas as opposed to 0.75% for everything else.

BUT, everyone I saw was working with the DEX with no problems at all. And I REALLY want to learn this stuff so I made a decision tonight and got some results from it :)
Here's the thing, you have to push yourself to grow. You have to get out of your comfort zone and the more I see the plans going forward for LEO, the more bullish I get.....So I WAS going to figure this thing out, come hell or high water!
That's true. There has to be a push out of that comfort zone for more growth.
I sent the few bucks I had in LTC in #leodex back to Hive Engine to see if the 'Send' worked for me on the dex....
Life easy with this magic ltc now. I will jump in when this deflationary triggers.
Yeah I wanna hit my target and then just enjoy the ride :)
That’s the way to do it! Hit the goal, then let the journey reward you. Smooth sailing ahead!
Way to go Jongo.
Guess what worked like a charm :)
Oh, I only need about 3000 $LEO for that Apex Lion title....So this time next week, it's a guarantee ;)
How much $LEO for Apex Lion title?
150K
Hmmm, quite far away from that.. Let me first get 100k
It's going to get a lot harder in a few months to generate $LEO
Now is the time to do it!
I am awara!
Only a matter of time now.
Fingers crossed 🤞
I wanna keep stacking this stuff, I have Apex Lion target in my sights....And eventually (if I understand things) I'll send this $LEO over to Arbitrum so I can get some of those juicy USDC rewards :)
Took that LTC that I sent back over, and flipped it for 453 $LEO
LOL
To end things off with my experiment tonight, I'm still going to do a few more things on Hive Engine lol
And that is...
I started a power down on $HIVE
To hell with KE Ratios ;)
loved it 😂
Who cares when we have Inleo 😉
Put on the big boy pants Jongo, and figure this stuff out :)
But here's a question for anyone and everyone that might be following along here....
Should I stick to LTC to bring over to #leodex?
Ltc is very good as I myself prefer it for its speed. But I don't know if it's working fine on LeoDex.
But that doesn't yet solve my biggest problem...
I wanna use LeoDex daily! So that means....Jongo need some crypto!
What to do, what to do?
OK, so as you guys know...I've been banging my head on the keyboard over the past few weeks about tryin to figure out.... #leodex
Got a lot of help from the community, but we all never figured out exactly why things weren't working!
But the bulk of the answers came down to this...
I just didn't have enough litecoin in my wallet....And that was by design because I only sent over about 10 bucks worth of LTC to test things out.
So day after day, I tried to swap things and it just pumped out an error. I didn't know what else to do other then add more LTC....Problem is, Jongo literally has...Nothing left in the crypto bank lol
So I did a thing tonight.....
Can we do it from Hive engine? Converting our Hive to ltc and then from there send to LeoDex ltc?
thats what i did....hive to ltc on hive engine, then sent ltc to leodex
and back..
Smart move! Quick, efficient, and cost-effective. Hive → LTC → LeoDex — that’s how you do it like a pro!
Wish we could send $LEO directly someday.
