Background:

RadioShack, a tech retail chain, announced to enter the cryptocurrency space last year. In December 2021, the tech retailer said it aims to be the first protocol to bridge the gap between mainstream blockchain functions and cryptocurrencies. 

RadioShack claims to be a 100-year-old brand recognized in more than 190 countries. But despite its long market presence, its financial position hasn’t been sound. It filed for bankruptcy protection in 2015 and 2017. In 2020, it was acquired by Retail Ecommerce Ventures.

What is RadioShack?

RadioShack, a cryptocurrency swap platform, aims to be a go-to protocol for crypto projects of mainstream brands. Its objective is to promote DeFi usage by individuals and large companies.  

According to RadioShack, it will first fix the issues surrounding "liquidity addition" on AMMs, which is to increase the liquidity per pair using the Starfish Topology. This single large node combines all swappable pairs.

The Starfish Topology will allow the RADIO token node to be the central large degree node, thereby boosting the token’s utility. 

The demand for RADIO tokens increases when more tokens are added to Starfish Topology. The token swapping becomes more efficient in the ecosystem when tokens are locked in more pools.
