In Super September, we had our engines primed to launch pSTAKE in conjunction with Alpha Finance after repeatedly surpassing all expectations during the capped launch. To celebrate, we started an Airdrop campaign & hosted a pSTAKE launch party, which reached its registration limit within 90 minutes of the announcement going live!
The Persistence team were also proud supporters of the ‘HackARThon’ in conjunction with ArtBasel supporting innovation in the art market with NFT development. This sector will become increasingly important to XPRT stakers as the development of Asset Mantle heats up in the coming months.
In addition, we crossed $47 Million TVL on Osmosis, held a governance vote, XPRT was listed on Kucoin & Huobi as we continued to gain media attention, we were featured in numerous publications such as this article on the merits of Liquid staking by Cointelegraph.
We are just warming up. Wait until you see what we have in store for October!
