2024 marked a pivotal year for Partisia Blockchain as we transitioned from Beta to a fully operational mainnet and saw the MPC token listed on major foundational exchanges. From onboarding innovative projects to expanding partnerships and refining our core infrastructure, we’ve laid the groundwork for a breakout 2025. The surge in data breaches, coupled with the growing reliance on AI, highlights the critical need for privacy-enhancing technologies.
Read on to catch up on all the updates from 2024.
In March, the $MPC token launched on leading centralized exchanges including KuCoin, Bitfinex, Gate.io, MEXC, BitMart, and Bitrue.
This milestone enabled:
The $MPC token’s robust initial trading volumes underscored the community’s confidence in its potential to empower industries and individuals with privacy-first blockchain solutions.
Kurt Nielsen, President of Partisia Blockchain:

DeFi is coming to Partisia blockchain! Since June of 2024, we’ve been focused on bringing DeFi to Partisia Blockchain and we are happy to announce our partners that are bringing the key pillars of a DeFi ecosystem on our network.
Koala wallet has now integrated into Browser, using Wallet Connect! We’ve been working hard integrating both Wallet Connect as well as Koala wallet
$MPC token is now onboarded to transak! This means anyone with a simple credit card will now be able to purchase MPC tokens using various onramps that support Transak. First will be zkCross Network’s onramp system, with Koala wallet upcoming next. Check it out at https://global.transak.com/ and see how simple it is to now purchase MPC tokens!
We’ve redoubled our efforts to engage with audiences beyond our existing community by participating in various external channels and events.
Adrienne has been at the forefront, discussing DePIN and the data-driven future alongside AYDO. Additionally, we hosted a session with Bitfinex to kickstart the upcoming trading competition. Meanwhile, Bruce joined a panel to showcase Partisia Blockchain’s MPC-as-a-Service, highlighting its role in bringing Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PET) to the Cardano ecosystem.
These initiatives underline our commitment to welcoming and engaging with broader communities.
Partisia Blockchain’s Chief of Growth, Shirly Valge, recently represented us at the W3N Conference in Estonia, a premier gathering of future tech minds to network, innovate, and celebrate.
Shirly delivered a compelling keynote on the “Importance of Privacy in Web3 Amidst GDPR,” shedding light on the critical intersection of data privacy and blockchain technology. She also participated in the dynamic panel discussion “Where is DeFi Today?” exploring the current landscape and future potential of decentralized finance.
Partisia Blockchain is proud to contribute to these pivotal conversations driving the future of Web3!
We’ve heard your request for making MPC be available as gas and have now launched the ability to wrap MPC to wMPC and have it usable as gas. This means no more need to bridge other BYOC tokens just to interact on our network. To make things even easier, we have now launched on top a dusting solution where there will be a one time initial dusting of gas to convert MPC to wMPC if you have no gas.
Interacting in Partisia Blockchain has never been easier!
Look for future use of wMPC such as transferring them to the Eth network and having it land on a DEX in the future.
It’s time to celebrate another round of bootstrap rewards! This quarter, we distributed a total of 3.2 million $MPC tokens to our incredible stakers.
This reward period marked a significant step forward as we began automating the bootstrap rewards distribution process, completing the first phase of this functionality. Additionally, we introduced a new node operator voting process. Looking ahead, we aim to fully automate the rewards system in the next quarter, ensuring that computations and distributions happen seamlessly.
With an outstanding 24% APR over the last three months, now is the perfect time to stake your tokens and maximize your rewards!

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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
