TL;DR

  • One year ago today, March 30th of 2021, the Persistence Core-1 mainnet was launched.
  • The network has continued to strengthen throughout this past year in terms of all measurable metrics, and the community has strengthened in tandem.
  • During this past year the Persistence team has been heavily involved in the growth of the broader ecosystem, including spearheading the InterNFT initiative and advancing the PoS industry via AUDIT.one.
  • Along this journey we realized that solving the pain points of the PoS industry via liquid staking was our true mission, and pSTAKE was born.
  • pSTAKE has grown significantly, quickly becoming the most prominent liquid staking solution for ATOM and XPRT, building strong foundations for the next phase of growth.
  • We’re now pushing ahead on our mission to make Persistence the liquid staking hub of the PoS economy.

After more than two years of relentless ideation and development, the Persistence Core-1 mainnet went live on March 30th of 2021 with the minting of block #1.
