Governance participation on the Persistence Core-1 chain is growing at a healthy rate.

Huge shoutout to the amazing validators and the $XPRT stakers.

Persistence Stats: March 1st, 2023 📊

Things have been awesome across the Persistence ecosystem in march, as developments continue to pave the way forward and activity steadily picking up over the last few weeks. 🦾

Persistence Newsletter #29 🦾

Throughout February, the Persistence ecosystem experienced growth and flourishing.

Full recap: https://blog.persistence.one/2023/03/02/community-newsletter-29-february-2023/

Persistence Core-1 Chain's IBC volumes are reaching new heights.

Top 10 in the last 7 days.

The interchain user experience gained attention in 2023 as crypto evolves beyond basic use cases.

Proposal #20 is live on the Persistence Core-1 chain for voting.

Topic: Dexter - Update Instantiate Config of LP Token and Pool Codes

Proposal link: https://ping.pub/persistence/gov/20…

Quick breakdown of the proposal: https://twitter.com/PersistenceOne/status/1636325089128984576

Introducing Metastable Pools

Inspired by Balancer, Dexter has developed the Metastable pool.

Metastable pools make trading for yield-generating assets more efficient by quoting accurate prices using the current exchange rates of these assets ⚖️

Efficient trading for these assets will increase the adoption of liquid staking 🌊

By supporting assets from all liquid staking zones in the Cosmos, Dexter will become the liquidity hub for liquid-staked assets 💧

Metastable pools will be live at launch, look out for the stkATOM-ATOM pool 👀

Proposal #21 is live on the Persistence Core-1 chain for voting.

gm everyone! 🦾

On-chain TVL just crossed $4M. 🚀

The recent surge is all thanks to the launch of Dexter on the chain. 🤖

One can currently LP in two pools on Dexter:

⚛️ ATOM/stkATOM Metastable Pool

🦾 ATOM/XPRT Weighted Pool

Dexter & pSTAKE usher in a new era for Liquid Staking UX. One doesn’t need to go to another chain to use DeFi for LSTs, but just simply hop from cosmos.pstake.finance to app.dexter.zone. 🤝

This is only possible on the liquid staking hub of Cosmos. 😎

$XPRT incentives are now live on the $XPRT / $OSMO pool.🦾
