We’re excited to announce the release of Common version 1.3.1 to Mainnet!

This update includes fixes and improvements designed to enhance the user experience, improve performance, and ensure the platform’s reliability. Below is a detailed overview of what’s new in this release:

🛠️ Bug Fixes

Network Fee Calculation Improved

We’ve resolved an issue with the network fee calculation. Previously, there was a misalignment in how gas fees were converted. With this fix, the gas-to-fee conversion is now precise.

APY Overflow Resolved

A fix was applied to address an overflow issue in the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) calculations, especially when dealing with high values. With this fix, APY is now more accurately displayed, ensuring clarity for all users.

Chart Timeline Dates Overflow Fixed

We identified and corrected a bug where the dates on the chart timeline would overflow or be displayed improperly, especially with extended date ranges. This fix ensures that all timestamps are accurately displayed within the chart, providing a cleaner and more professional visual experience.

🎛️ UI/UX Enhancements

Interactive Slider Now Adapts to Screen Size Changes

We’ve enhanced the interactive slider functionality to better adapt to dynamic screen size changes. Whether you’re on a mobile device, tablet, or resizing your browser window, the slider will now adjust seamlessly, providing a consistent and responsive user experience across all devices.

Updated Community List Name

We have updated the name of the Verified Tokens List to “Tokens verified on psplist.xyz

This release reflects our ongoing commitment to improving Common for all our users. We encourage you to explore these updates and continue providing feedback as we work on future enhancements. Thank you for your continued support!

August 5th 2024

To make Common more attractive to traders, we’ve enabled the support of community-owned tokens.

It’s a feature that allows users to import lists of tokens based on their contract addresses. This means that you can quickly gain access to trading multiple tokens created on Aleph Zero before they are whitelisted and supported natively on Common.

To import a new list to Common, go to token selection on the Swap tab, click on “+Add tokens” at the bottom of the modal, and pick the list. The first available list is curated by Syncra. 

Please, exercise caution when interacting with community tokens and use psplist.xyz as one of your research tools. It aggregates tokens that have undergone a manual verification process, which can contribute to a safer trading experience. For more context, head over to the Aleph Zero Blog.

Updates in Common ver. 1.3.0:

  1. Added Community Owned Tokens feature, enabling batch-adding custom tokens from sets of predefined lists.

  2. Made the Charts’ hours format adjust to the user's locale.

August 1st 2024

The latest update to the Common AMM Mainnet introduces line and candlestick charts, among other minor improvements. a new visual element, line, and candlestick charts, that will definitely improve the user experience of swap trading. 

Delivering a Visual Flair to Trading

Traders will have the option to see the price either in the form of a line chart or candlestick chart and choose different timeframes (days, weeks, months, and MAX, a full overview of the assets' price history).

July 19th 2024

A new version of Common AMM has been pushed to the Mainnet. Smart routing is now enabled, which makes it possible to make trades that were not possible before. At the same time, it allows users to obtain better prices on their swaps. Instead of going through one pool only, swaps can go through one or multiple different paths.

For example, thanks to smart routing, Common users can make trades like IOU <> AZERO <> USDT (even when there is no direct IOU <> USDT pair).


Here’s the full list of updates for Common ver. 1.1.0:

  • Users can take advantage of smart routing, and utilize pathfinder for network fee estimates;

  • Users can view splits and steps within smart routing;

  • Added tooltip to APY in farms;

  • Updated logo link to redirect to swap instead of landing page;

  • Replaced “Estimation Exceeded” text with a more detailed explanation;

  • Added modal for importing custom tokens accessed by url;

  • Added refresh button to Swap and Bridge;

As always, thanks for your feedback and support—and enjoy trading on Common!

We're excited to announce the launch of the Common 1.0.0 Mainnet! Aleph Zero ecosystem users can now use the network's native DEX to swap tokens, provide liquidity, and farm to earn rewards. 


Common is a unique DeFi suite that gives users the privacy, security, and efficiency required of a modern DEX. Now that it is live, users will be able to experience first-hand: 

  • Swapping tokens;

  • Providing liquidity through Liquidity Pools;

  • Farming and earning rewards;

  • A bridge to Ethereum that provides users of both ecosystems access to each other. Remember, this is just the first bridge to come as we plan on expanding Common's multi-chain capabilities through Aleph Zero's native MOST bridging platform.


We are confident that Common will provide an inspiring platform for decentralized finance to flourish both for individual and institutional traders. 


What are you waiting for? It's time to explore Common! 


The Journey to Perfection is Never Done! 

We also want to acknowledge that the team will continue to work on improving the Common AMM and are open to your suggestions for improving Aleph Zero's native DeFi suite.

We’re back with another update leading to Common AMM's mainnet launch—this time, we’re introducing farming into the Testnet release.

Farming on Pools allows users to get extra rewards for providing liquidity in Common AMM, with rewards paid in AZERO, as well as in other tokens. 

Here are the key updates of this release:

– Farming on Liquidity Pools is now enabled.

– Users can start and stop farming at any time..

– The UI provides visual hints on which tokens have farms enabled.

– The liquidity can be farmed automatically.

– The rewards from Farms and Pools can be claimed at any time.

– Besides the farming-related features, we have also significantly improved the performance of Pools. They’re loading instantly now! Loading pools.


Note: We created three farms for Common Testnet. If you have provided liquidity to one of those farms and would want to begin farming for additional rewards, you need to start it manually. 

If you'd need help with doing that, head over to the Farming guide.

The Pools with enabled farms are currently:

  • WIN-WAT

  • TZERO-KNO

  • TZERO-LUC
