Why KNC Was On Top Last Week?
Kyber Network is a decentralized finance(DeFi) project built on top of the Ethereum blockchain.

KyberSwap, the main protocol in Kyber Network’s liquidity hub and decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator, has now over 100 ecosystem partners including 10 Layer-1 and Layer-2 chains. KNC has gained from this spurt in partnerships.

KyberSwap offers trading across ten networks such as ETH, (AVAX), Polygon (MATIC), Aurora (AURORA), and Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

In March, Kyber Network’s partnership with Avalanche Network and the Avalanche Rush Phase 2 liquidity mining program helped it gain increased attention and trading activity.

Since the Avalanche partnership was announced, KNC’s trading volume has shot up 493% from $99.99 million to $593.1 million until press time.

Last week, Kyber said it was integrating V3 on the Ethereum and Polygon network — this brings the most active DEX into the Kyber ambit.
