The month of June came and went in a flash, while our team forged new paths through the metaverse and pushed forward despite market volatility. At Persistence we believe there’s no better time to focus on BUIDLing than when the market is uncertain. As you’ll soon read below, we certainly lived up to our own mantra, closing out yet another highly successful month.
In June we released the Alpha version of our liquid staking protocol, pSTAKE, along with a huge trove of educational materials in order to ready our community for pSTAKE’s upcoming mainnet launch. Furthermore, XPRT was listed on Osmosis, the first AMM DEX on Cosmos. Our pools on Osmosis have generated hefty volumes as the community excitedly explores new interchain avenues. We also reached the major milestone of 1 million blocks minted on the Persistence mainnet!
In addition, Tushar Aggarwal, our CEO, appeared on numerous podcasts and we began experimenting with Twitter Spaces in order to create further transparency and another outlet of communication with our community.
This barely scratches the surface. Read below to learn more.
