Monthly report: a recap of activities in February 2023

Pundi X had an exciting month filled with meaningful events and developments that have continued to solidify XPOS’s position as a leading builder in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. Here are some of the highlights from February:

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

First Pundi X Chain governance proposal is out

In a bid to increase transparency, Pundi X has made its first governance proposals on the StarScan Explorer. As the slots of Pundi X Chain validator are open for the public to host, there are more applicants than expected. Hence, the first governance proposal is to decide whether Pundi X Chain increase the number of validator slots. As a result, the community voted “yes” to increase Pundi X Chain validators from 20 to 50.

40+ Applications to Become Validator Nodes

The Pundi X Chain has received a lot of interest from validators as over 40 applications were received. We are all excited about the enthusiasm of the community and look forward to welcoming more new validator nodes live. Currently, there are 39 validators live on Pundi X Chain.

The XPOS platform has integrated Binance Pay, enabling thousands of merchants across 30 countries to easily accept cryptocurrency payments via XPOS devices using Binance Pay. Binance users can pay with any crypto via XPOS using Binance Pay and the merchants can receive stablecoin, USDT or DAI.
