A cryptocurrency trader has scored substantial gains from the recent launch of Ethervista, a new Ethereum-based decentralized exchange and token creation platform.
The trader invested $5,000 in Ethervista’s native VISTA token right after its debut on August 31. Within just two days, they managed to turn this investment into over $670,000 by selling off a large portion of their VISTA holdings, which accounted for about 5% of the total supply.
Ethervista, designed to enable users to create and launch their own tokens, especially memecoins, has been compared to Solana’s Pump.fun, a popular memecoin launchpad.
The platform employs a “fair launch model,” initially distributing all VISTA tokens to liquidity providers and locking them for five days to prevent immediate exploitation.
Despite its innovative approach, including deflationary mechanics with a one million token cap and ongoing token burns, Ethervista has faced some issues, such as failed liquidity removals.
Additionally, since the platform charges transaction fees in ETH, it has become a significant gas consumer on Ethereum, ranking behind only Uniswap and Tether.
Ethervista’s rapid rise has drawn substantial attention, with its market cap reaching $30 million within days of launch. The platform aims to compete with other networks like Solana, Base, and Tron, which have seen significant revenue from memecoin activities recently.
