We continue to add market liquidity through DeFi mechanisms. When public staking and Easy Staking starts, these seeds will bear fruit! Farming with sustainable levels of growth and predictable accumulation for stakers.

Gas Limit Increase
Ethereum Mainnet miners increased the block gas limit from 10M to 12.5M gas/block (https://ethstats.net/). To maintain xDai smart contract compatibility with ETH, xDai validators are also increasing the gas limit. This will result in 20% gains in tx throughput when needed!

Nifty Wallet Update
