3 major updates for Persisters to take a note of going into 2024 👇

1. Geo-blocking postponed to 1 February 2024 🗓️

- Taking into consideration the feedback from community members, geoblocking of dApps on persistence.one (pWallet and pBridge) and Ecosystem dApps (pSTAKE and Dexter) will now happen on 1 February 2024 instead of 15 January 2024.

- Geo-blocking is done for front-ends hosted by Persistence Labs and has no implications on tokens, contracts, and modules deployed on the Blockchain.

- Third party wallets like Keplr, Leap, and Cosmostation wallet will continue to support XPRT activity as normal.

2. Switching from pWallet to Keplr, Leap, or Cosmostation Wallets ➡️

- DeFi dApps on Persistence provide a diversified user experience by supporting the above three major wallets.

- It is recommended that Persisters move their tokens, including staked XPRT to either of these wallets.

- Please note that you need not unbond tokens and wait 21 days to move your XPRT tokens to a different wallet. Staked XPRT tokens can be transferred directly from pWallet to a new Keplr/Leap/Cosmostation wallet by following our guide.

3. New unstaking cancellation feature for XPRT on pWallet and Keplr ❌

- To improve the user experience for XPRT stakers, unbonding requests can now be cancelled by delegators at any time during the 21-day unbonding period on Keplr and pWallet. Learn more by following our guide.

$XPRT staking experience just got more user-friendly! 🦾
