On March 27, 2025, the Layer One X (L1X) team hosted an engaging AMA, led by host Kody and featuring team members Kevin, Leo, Ronnie, Mike, and others. With Quarter 1 wrapping up, the session highlighted major achievements, technical upgrades, and a bold roadmap for Quarter 2. Here’s a breakdown of the key updates that have the community buzzing.
Swap UI Upgrade: Seamless User Experience
Leo kicked off the tech updates with news of an enhanced Swap UI. Users can now initiate swaps without waiting for completion, as transactions are parked on the side for tracking. A green notification signals when a swap is done, addressing delays from destination network congestion. This upgrade promises a smoother, more user-friendly experience—perfect for keeping swaps seamless.
Tech Optimizations: Faster Swaps and Node Fixes
The team’s been busy optimizing the L1X app. Within 24 hours of the AMA, an update will reduce backend calls that previously froze the app during swaps, ensuring a snappier experience. On the network side, a bottleneck causing transaction failures has been resolved after 48 hours of testing with volunteers.
In two days, community members can start acting as validators, with node rewards shifting to contribution-based by mid-next week. Kudos to the dev team for their relentless efforts!
Bitcoin Integration into L1X Swap
Big news for crypto fans: Bitcoin is now integrated into the L1X Swap feature. Connect a Bitcoin wallet, head to the L1X app, and swap to or from Bitcoin across networks. This move targets new users, leveraging Bitcoin’s prominence while channeling higher fees into the liquidity pool. A direct swap feature, eliminating wallet connectivity hassles, is also slated for early next month—making onboarding even easier.
Quantum-Resistant White Paper Release
The team unveiled the first version of their white paper, a groundbreaking document tackling quantum-resistant cross-chain messaging, secure state storage, and multi-chain rollups. Mike emphasized its fully integrated approach, unlike add-ons other chains use. With the NSA predicting private keys could be cracked in five years, L1X aims to lead the charge in quantum resistance—a forward-thinking move for Web3 security.
Spaces.L1XApp.com: Organizing the Ecosystem
To streamline community engagement, the team launched spaces.l1xapp.com. This hub organizes AMAs, Hackathon interviews, and more, boosting SEO and driving organic traffic. Ronnie also introduced projects.l1xapp.com, showcasing projects building on L1X with details on their goals and utility. Both platforms will evolve continuously, keeping the community and newcomers in the loop.
Quick Link Navigator and User Onboarding
A new quick link navigator on l1xapp.com’s homepage simplifies access to resources. Soon, it’ll guide new users by tracking what they’ve read and flagging updates like revised tokenomics or white papers. Integrated with socials, it’ll nudge users to join the community—part of a broader onboarding strategy tied to the NFT tiering system.
Social Momentum: 620,000+ Task Qualifiers
L1X’s social presence is soaring, with over 620,000 task qualifiers on TaskOn, ranking it among the top communities there. This growth reflects focused marketing driving users to swaps—a key success metric. Partnerships with TaskOn for multi-asset issuance will further tap this “honey pot” of projects without tokens, boosting adoption.
Roadmap Highlights: Foundation Website and Direct Swap
The L1X Foundation website is getting a major overhaul by April 2, with 5x more content tailored for retail investors, including quantum paradigms and mobile-friendly navigation. A direct swap upgrade supporting 35+ networks is also coming, letting users deposit funds via the site without wallet juggling—simplifying coin purchases.
Zero Fee Swaps Campaign and Liquidity Boost
A “Zero Fee Swaps” campaign will showcase how NFT tier holders can earn L1X from swaps, offsetting gas fees over time. Paired with Uniswap LP staking and daily rewards, this aims to spike liquidity. Kevin dropped alpha: talks with VCs for a $25M raise at $1–$1.50 per L1X, with a hefty cliff and vesting, will funnel funds into the release pool and DEX liquidity.
XTalk Upgrade and Multi-Network Asset Standard
By April 21, XTalk will go open-source alongside a multi-network asset issuance standard upgrade. This gradual rollout ensures stability while enabling projects to mint tokens across chains—a marketing win for scaling L1X’s reach.
Scaling Strategy: Targeting Utility and Liquidity
Kevin outlined a three-pronged scaling plan:
- Awareness: The Zero Fee Swaps campaign and quantum-resistant narrative will draw new users.
- Liquidity: L1X as a universal gas fee with multiplier points, plus ERC-721 staking, will drive net buy pressure.
- Utility: An X Wallet with NFT tiering as a quantum-resistant ID will boost engagement, while a growth pool rewards projects based on transaction volume.
Hackathon Success: 350 Submissions, 56 Shortlisted
Ronnie shared stellar hackathon results: 350 submissions, with 56 projects shortlisted. Themes like decentralized search engines, low/no-code tools, and social-focused DApps (e.g., EdTech, crime prevention) stood out. Nearly half are at MVP/production stage, signaling strong builder interest. Next steps include April support and May 15 presentations.
Social Analytics and Community Power
Kody highlighted a surge to 2.7M total listeners across AMAs (up from 1.2M two weeks ago), with 1,000+ live listeners per session. Engagement peaks around spaces, driving momentum. He urged the community to comment and share L1X content to amplify reach.
L1X Coin Update: Stability and Growth Potential
Mike recapped L1X’s market performance, with a 13% jump to $1.40 last Saturday, now steady at $1.70. The release pool’s gradual approach prevents dumps seen in chains like Aptos and Sui, ensuring market stability. Quantum resistance and project adoption could spark an uptick soon.
Final Thoughts: Patience and Utility
Kevin closed with a call for patience, likening L1X’s journey to Bitcoin’s 14-year rise. With utility-focused features, a robust release pool, and community support, L1X is poised to make waves in Web3. Stay tuned to l1xapp.com and keep swapping—the universe is smiling on this project!
