Well. There goes the solitude.
VPepe is now trading on RivrDEX, and this bear has bought a little for posterity. Something to keep in the wallet from the days when Vara’s native token market was small enough that a new arrival deserved an introduction.
Hello, frog. Pull up a chair.
When we created VBEAR and brought it to RivrDEX, we wanted to test a fairly straightforward proposition: could an ordinary user create a Vara Fungible Token, give it a public market, and get the whole thing working without an afternoon of software development?
We did it. We wrote about it. Then our exceedingly round mascot stood around in a rather sparsely populated marketplace, waiting for company.
Now VPepe is here.
For UseVara, that is a lovely little development. Our VBEAR experiment was always more interesting as an invitation than as a solitary accomplishment. We wanted other people to try the tools, bring their own ideas, and give Vara users more things to do inside Vara.
Another token arriving on RivrDEX gives that story somewhere to go.
Tokenator provides a route to creating the asset. RivrDEX provides a place to establish its market. Each new arrival gives users another opportunity to put that combination through its paces—and gives the people building those tools another actual project to serve.
It is early. A bear and a frog hardly constitute a bustling financial district. But you have to appreciate the moment when the neighbors start moving in.
We will leave the grand declarations about VPepe’s future to its creators. Our interest here is the arrival itself, and what it suggests about the ecosystem we have been exploring.
The little purchase is disclosed. The souvenir is in the wallet. And Varbear finally has someone to wave at across the market.
Long may they wobble.
