Qredo Monthly Update: January 2022
Welcome to our monthly roundup of all things Qredo!
In response to community requests, and to provide more regular information about how the Qredo project is evolving, we’re going to be sharing a monthly summary of Qredo Network activity and highlights.
This January update is — we know 🙏 — a few days late. Last Friday, we announced Qredo's Series A raise and got a little distracted 🎉
NETWORK 🌐
Qredo stats 📊
January was a very positive month overall in terms of network activity and growth:
New account growth in January was 39% higher than in December.
Network transaction volumes in January were 77% higher than in December.
One wallet – all EVM chains
Through our groundbreaking partnership with MetaMask Institutional, funds and traders on Qredo can now enjoy access to all EVM blockchains from a single Qredo crypto wallet. It’s a game changer for institutions seeking fast, secure and compliant access to DeFi.
By enabling this functionality, we’ve seen massive growth in assets under management on the network, with particularly strong activity on the Avalanche, Polygon and Fantom chains — reflecting the maturity of these ecosystems. More
Option 2 vesting
On January 14th, 811K QRDO vested for private sale and Coinlist public sale 2 participants. We’re delighted to say that, by the end of January, less than 20% had transferred out, and this by 5% of the participants. Welcome new QRDO hodlers!
Auto-staking bonus
For the month of January, we announced a Super Staking Bonus of 30.3% APY as a thank you to our awesome community.
This had a positive impact, increasing the inflow of QRDO onto Qredo Network such that January saw a 300% increase in deposits over the previous month. Overall, and with weekly vestings taken into account, we continue to see a more positive inflow of QRDO – reflecting positive sentiment around the token and growth in the number of QRDO holders.
But that’s not all! QRDO hodlers can now enjoy a new 3 Month Deposit Bonus Staking program. From February to April, QRDO stakers can enjoy 20.2% APY – valid for both new and existing deposits.
PARTNERSHIPS 🤝
Openware
On January 14th, we announced an exciting new partnership with Openware. They’ll be using Qredo's crosschain infrastructure to power the exchange of trading quotes and liquidity between exchanges and institutions on Yellow Network. More
LISTINGS 🚀
Exchange listings continue to be one of our priorities. They raise awareness of the Qredo Token, increase market depth, and improve access to QRDO for new token holder communities in different countries.
Some of the most interesting listings during January have been:
