Community Update — Jan 2022
New Year at Charged Particles HQ started with exploring brand new use cases of the protocol, prepping up for the launch of the V2 upgrade, organizing Twitter Spaces with some special guests, and more. Read on to know what Jan 2022 looked like at CP.
Charged Particles V2
We will be launching V2 of our protocol in early February. V1 of the protocol will remain active in perpetuity. The primary V2 enhancements include support for more types NFTs, the ability to claim an airdrop on behalf of an NFT, and improvement to existing functionality that helps support creators.
Paragons DAO’s vesting capsules using our technology
Paragons DAO is using our nesting technology to vest team tokens into Vesting Capsules, a use case of our tech we are most excited about. Each Capsule contains a linear vesting voucher of $PDT. 17 Vesting Capsules have been minted — one for each of the Paragons DAO founders. A total of 16.8 million $PDT have been vested inside, with a Total Value Locked of $25.2 million.
Isn’t that amazing?
Blockchain Gaming Panel
We organized Blockchain Gaming Panel on Twitter Spaces with the legends of Blockchain gaming. The panel consisted of Celeb Applegate the COO & Bryana Kortendick the Head of Ecosystem comms for Enjin, Brian Trunzo the Metaverse lead for Polygon, CybertoothK the founder of Book of Alchemy & Mik Mironov the founder of Loc Game. The panel members took a deep dive into the future of gaming, play to earn, gaming in the metaverse, and much more.
Cryptmas Stockings
Together with our partners, we created three fun Cryptmas Stocking variations this Christmas. We gave out 71 of these little beauties in January through giveaway competitions held on Twitter during the holiday season.
Guilds
Our discord guilds have seen considerable growth and activity, especially within gaming, music, and fashion! We are continuing this momentum and fostering collaboration and participation alongside our talented, wonderful Guild Leaders!
An incredible project built on the top of our Protocol by our music guild
Unchained Music — a completely free music distribution platform built on the top of Charged Particles was launched. This platform aims to build a transparent future for the music industry with no subscription or hidden fees.
Anyone interested in getting involved with Charged Particles or wanting advice is highly encouraged to join our discord guilds!

About Charged Particles
Charged Particles is a protocol that allows users to deposit ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 tokens into NFTs. A scarce NFT (e.g. Art, Collectible, Virtual Real Estate, In-Game Item, etc.) can now be transformed into a basket holding a number of other tokens. The Principal amount can be time-locked inside the
NFT, and through integration with Aave’s aTokens, the programmable yield from these DeFi yield-generating assets is just a few clicks away.
