November 2024 update

November has been a month of growth and innovation for Partisia Blockchain! From welcoming new projects like Varmeta and BoostyLabs, to enabling BYOC tokens like wBTC and introducing wrapped MPC, we’re expanding the ecosystem and improving accessibility. With browser upgrades and exciting announcements like the upcoming zkCrossDEX launch, there’s a lot to look forward to. Read on for all the details, including highlights from our partnerships and events!

New Projects: Expanding the Ecosystem

We’re getting more projects building on our chain!  Two new projects have received grants from the foundation to build on the Partisia Blockchain network.

Varmeta is  building out a sealed bid NFT auction system that integrates Partisia Blockchain’s MPC as a service. Building on the BNB Chain, Varmeta will enable NFT platforms to conduct confidential auctions where bid details remain private until the auction concludes. This approach mirrors what Profila is achieving on the Cardano network, showcasing the versatility of our technology in enhancing blockchain solutions.

BoostyLabs has signed a grant to develop a lending protocol on Partisia Blockchain. This initiative underscores our commitment to expanding the DeFi space by supporting innovative solutions that strengthen our ecosystem. Stay tuned as we continue to grow and add more exciting projects to the network!

We’ve also been busy looking to lock up more partnerships and our latest trip lead us down to DevCon at Bangkok.  We took part in multiple events both showcasing our technology and looking for new partnerships in an ever growing privacy sector in blockchains.  We took part in a pitch session and a workshop at the Staking Summit, a pitch and panel session at DeCC x Shielding summit and took part in podcasts by TheStreet.  

Emurgo AMA on MPC as a Service

In a special Twitter Space AMA, Emurgo hosted Partisia Blockchain and Profila to spotlight the growing partnership between Cardano, Partisia Blockchain, and Profila. The discussion underscored our commitment to enabling MPC as a service across blockchains, reinforcing our core philosophy of collaboration over competition.

This event highlights our dedication to fostering partnerships that drive innovation and extend the reach of MPC technology to new networks.

BYOC Tokens and upcoming zkCrossDEX

We’ve got some exciting news!  New BYOC tokens are coming live on Partisia Blockchain! We’ve enabled wBTC as a BYOC token on Partisia Blockchain, making us one of the few blockchains to allow transactions using this popular token as a means of payment.

In line with our mission to remove friction for users, we now support the wrapped MPC token as a BYOC token. A new feature in the browser enables seamless wrapping of MPC tokens, marking the first step toward making our network even more user-friendly. The next phase will eliminate the need for initial gas when wrapping MPC tokens, allowing new users to interact with the chain without bridging gas via traditional BYOC tokens.

Get ready for our first decentralized exchange, zkCrossDEX, which is set to launch in December! While we finalize a few last-minute adjustments, stay tuned for a bug bounty program and incentive initiatives to celebrate the launch.

Exciting times are ahead as we continue enhancing accessibility and innovation on Partisia Blockchain!

Enhancing usability: Browser upgrades for nodes and staking

As part of our commitment to making the Partisia Blockchain network more accessible, our browser has undergone several updates and added new features. These enhancements simplify the process of operating a node and staking, ensuring a smoother experience for users.

We invite you to explore the improved browser and share your feedback. Your input helps us continue refining and optimizing the tools that empower our community!

The first phase of our airdrop program was completed.  We distributed to 6860 unique wallets with a claim rate of  52.5%.  While the airdrop was a success, we also know that there were those who really supported the airdrop through running transactions almost daily.  We are working on ensuring those who supported the most are rewarded fairly.  Look for additional news in November!

We recently gave a grant out to Unmarshal to build out a new explorer!   As many already know, Unmarshal is providing RPC services for projects building on our chain.  With that project completed, they are now turning their attention to building out a explorer for Partisia Blockchain.  Look for a fresh explorer coming soon!

We will be at Devcon! We will be participating in giving talks, panel sessions and setting up booths in multiple events during DevCon week in Bangkok!.  If anyone will be there, we’d love to meet with you!  Let us know in TG or Discord!
