# Introduction

## Welcome to DrunkenCats DEX

DrunkenCats is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and DeFi hub built on the LitVM LiteForge network. It provides a full suite of decentralized finance tools inc token swaps, liquidity provision and on-chain loans. Whether you're a first-time DeFi user or an experienced liquidity provider, DrunkenCats offers an accessible, community-driven platform to interact with the Litecoin DeFi ecosystem.

### **Built on LitVM**

Drunken Cats is deployed on **LitVM  -** a high-performance layer built on top of Litecoin. LitVM combines the security and decentralization of Litecoin with the programmability of an EVM-compatible chain, enabling smart contracts, token swaps and DeFi apps.

### **Core Mission**

DrunkenCats aims to become the central DeFi gateway for the LitVM ecosystem. The project is driven by three goals:

1. **Simplify DeFi access** — provide an intuitive interface for swapping tokens, managing liquidity, and tracking portfolios on LitVM.
2. **Reward early participants** — incentivize testnet users through CAT Points, NFT rewards and a future $CAT token.
3. **Build community** — integrate social quests, daily check-ins, and leaderboards to grow an engaged user base before mainnet launch.

#### **Why Litecoin DeFi Matters**

Litecoin has long been one of the most trusted and widely-held cryptocurrencies, but its DeFi ecosystem has been underdeveloped compared to Ethereum or Solana. LitVM changes this by adding smart contract capabilities to Litecoin's infrastructure. DrunkenCats leverages this opportunity to become a first-mover DeFi platform in the Litecoin ecosystem, bringing familiar DeFi primitives AMM swaps, liquidity pools, yield incentives to a new audience.
