March Prospects
We continued working on rDEX and StaFiHub through February. The short-term Community Bug Bounty for rDEX has completed, and the long-term Bug Bounty program is still ongoing on Immunefi.
rDEX is ready to be deployed on mainnet, just wait for the right moment and it will be very soon. In addition, we have communicated with many PR agencies to help rDEX with the marketing strategies. Considering the entire secondary-market situation right now, we will only adopt some strategies which we find suitable, to make more efforts for the branding of StaFi and rDEX. The development of StaFiHub is smoother than expected, but there are many modules, which are still under development. We will synchronize with the community if there is a progress update.
At the same time, we have discussed Staking Derivatives with the Cosmos community and projects. We have obtained more constructive suggestions, which will guide our follow-up work well.
About StaFi
StaFi is the first DeFi protocol unlocking liquidity of staked assets. Users can stake PoS tokens through StaFi and receive rTokens in return, which are available for trading, while still earning staking rewards. rToken is a synthetic staking derivative issued by StaFi to users when users stake PoS tokens through StaFi rToken App . rTokens are anchored to the PoS tokens staked by users and the corresponding staking rewards. rTokens can be transferred and traded at any time.
