Strengthening network participation: rewards for stakers and node operators

Both stakers and node operators were once again rewarded with MPC tokens for staking.  We gave out over 2.6 million $MPC tokens for the Q7 rewards. Alongside this, we also began to see higher on-chain transactions. This translated to the node operators earning more than 100,000 in BYOC tokens. As the network grows further, we anticipate further earnings by our node operators. Look for an opportunity for delegated stakers to earn these BYOC rewards in the future.

Ecosystem updates: DelNorte, Nova Miningverse and zkCross

In the ecosystem, notable advancements have taken place in March. DelNorte launched its project in one of the municipalities in El Salvador, beginning the minting of official property deeds. Check out our Twitter spaces AMA session with Del Norte CEO Anton Glotser to learn more. Nova Miningverse is gaining momentum, boasting over 1400 unique transactions. Additionally, zkCross (formerly TeraBlock) is on the verge of launching their initial bridging platform, with subsequent work beginning to launch a swap/DEX. First month of spring witnessed a significant surge in dApps launching on mainnet, with more coming in April.

Fast Track Grants: empowering developers to drive growth

We launched our fast track grants in February 2024. These grants are geared toward developers planning to build something smaller in nature, and does not have to be geared toward building a business. We will pursue developers who wish to contribute to the community by building examples, PoC, and tools. For more information about our Grants Program, click here.

Engaging AMAs: Exploring new frontiers with TeraBlock and Verida

On 14 February, we held the second AMA with the up and coming cross-chain decentralized exchange TeraBlock. This time around we invited TeraBlock’s Shivam Tandon, Founder and CEO, and Muhammad Ali, Chief Commercial Officer, to provide insights from a non-developer’s perspective, on why Terablock is a game changer for DeFi, powered by the Partisia Blockchain. On 22 February, we held a dual AMA with ecosystem partner Verida. Mathias Glintborg, our Head of Product, and Chris Were, CEO of Verida, both introduced the projects to each other’s community, its use cases and technological achievements. An excellent primer for both data on decentralized Identity for Web3 (Verida) as well as multiparty computation.

Celebrating innovation: Highlights from our Hackathon winners

Our Building Privacy in Web3 Hackathon concluded with a bang. We announced six winners, all projects that showcase our unique capabilities. From random number generations to supply chain management to zero-knowledge games, developers came out to really showcase their talent and show us how our amazing technology can be used. We will be continuing to work with them to bring them into the mainstream.

Empowering Rust developers through TinTinLand’s learning program

Partisia Blockchain and TinTinLand are set to launch a learning program aimed at attracting more Rust developers to our ecosystem. Currently, only 22,000 out of 30 million global developers are engaged in Web3. The collaboration aims to scale the developer ecosystem and unlock the Chinese developer community, attract new Rust developers from China, organize hackathons, workshops, and developer meetups, and promote our Grants Program. Together, we hope to expand developer engagement and foster growth within our ecosystem, particularly in China.

Thanks again to our amazing community for your dedicated support, we look forward to an exciting end to Q1 next month.
