Action-packed April has just zipped by!

Continuing to build on the success of a monumental March, we pushed ahead and accelerated as we raced through April. Last month alone we witnessed our first two exchange listings, on AscendEX and Gate.io, and launched XPRT staking with 35%+ APR straight out of the gates. Meanwhile our industrious CEO, Tushar Aggarwal, was featured in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Asia 2021 and our XPRT token was trending on CoinMarketCap, in yet more clear indications that the world is waking up to Persistence.

Additionally, we continued to forge valuable industry collaborations and pushed ahead ramping…

The Persistence Core-1 Mainnet was recently launched with a limited set of carefully selected validators in order to ensure a smooth mainnet launch and the best possible staking experience. Read about our successful mainnet launch and our world-class genesis validators here:

March was a momentous month for Persistence and our community!

In each month of 2021, we’ve accomplished more than the last, but this past month was truly exceptional! In March alone, we launched our mainnet, conducted XPRT’s long-anticipated TGE, completed token auctions on AscendEx (formerly BitMax), trading of XPRT began, and we launched XPRT staking with rewards of 35%+ APR.

Additionally, we hosted Proof-of-Stake: The New Paradigm, one of the year’s biggest PoS events, during which thought leaders from the PoS ecosystem joined us for an action-packed day of presentations, panel discussions and fireside chats on some of the industry’s…
