Qredo Monthly Update: July 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, here is our monthly recap of Qredo Network activity and highlights.


NETWORK 🌐


Token burn 🔥

Scraping into this month’s update is the news that Qredo burned 16.8 million QRDO tokens on August 1st, removing roughly the same amount from circulation as vested in July.

This follows the first burn of 40M QRDO in March 2022 and is one of a number of tokenomics measures we revealed earlier this year.

New 3 and 6 month staking bonus

You can still earn a weekly staking reward of 10.1% APY but Qredo is now also rewarding those who hodl for longer!

Starting in July, we introduced a new auto-staking bonus program for both three and six month deposits — allowing you to earn a total of upto almost 18% APY until December 31 2022.

The bonus programs are open to both new and existing deposits 💥 – including for QRDO deposits received after July 1st.
