Glitch was founded by Sean Ryan and described itself as a blockchain-agnostic protocol designed for trustless money markets and DeFi applications. Its native token, GLCH, was the sole currency for paying network fees, with the team specifying a finite supply of 88,888,888 tokens. A distinctive revenue-sharing mechanism directed 20% of network fees and decentralized application revenue into a vault for distribution to GLCH stakers and holders.
Glitch planned Ethereum-asset wrapping through its GRC-20 token standard, enabling assets to be used by DeFi applications on its network. The project also developed GEX, a decentralized exchange intended to run on the Glitch blockchain. Following the shutdown announcement, the team made the Glitch blockchain, wallet, bridges, faucet, GEX, and documentation publicly accessible through its GitHub organization.
Glitch previously received backing from Spark Digital Capital and Boxmining. Its public token offering was formerly facilitated through TrustSwap as a launchpad provider. The project formerly partnered with API3 for data-feed integration, Orion Protocol for liquidity integration, and Darwinia Network for cross-chain interoperability. Glitch has published 2,627 posts and has been mentioned by 64 accounts a total of 208 times.
