The xDai/USDT pair has been listed on Bitmax. Now users can acquire xDai directly through the exchange without needing to bridge from Ethereum. This saves xDai users money on gas and provides a direct conduit to the xDai Chain. BitMax offers trading for both xDai/USDT and STAKE/USDT.

✓ OmniBridge: New Features Increase Decentralization
The latest OmniBridge release provides important new functionality for users bridging ERC20s between Ethereum and xDai. The biggest change is the new claiming feature, where users take control of claims when moving tokens from xDai to Ethereum. Other updates include:
- Set “unlimited” unlock for tokens, reducing the need to process the unlock transaction each time.
- Set an alternative RPC url in the Settings window
- MOON and HNY tokens can now be transferred from xDai to Ethereum with the bridge! As a result, HNY tokens are now listed on Sushiswap.
- More on the Claiming Process available here.
