As we continue our journey through 2024, Pundi X has been active globally, attending and participating in major events across the world. This month, we continue making progress in product development, expanding ecosystem partners, deepening our community engagement, and achieving key milestones that highlight our commitment to integrating blockchain technology into everyday transactions.

Product Development

Solana Integration on XPOS

April saw the successful integration of the Solana blockchain into our XPOS device. Users can now seamlessly buy and pay with USDT using Solana-supported wallets such as Phantom and Backpack. This integration enhances the flexibility and efficiency of transactions on the XPOS, making it more accessible to a broader audience.

Additional details can be found on our Medium post.

$PURSE Token Trading on Osmosis

The PURSE token has expanded its reach within the Cosmos Ecosystem and is now available for trading on Osmosis. This listing at Pool #1695 pairs $PURSE with $OSMO, enhancing liquidity and trading options for our community.

Pundi X Chain Updates

Two governance proposals were passed

Proposal 5 is to have XPOS supporting Solana Chain. The community voted yes and this integration further enriches XPOS capabilities.

Proposal 6 is for a strategic move to lend 800M $PURSE tokens to Kronos Research for one year to improve token liquidity on centralized exchanges. This proposal was also successfully passed.
