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.
Qredo stats
🦊 New Metamask Institutional users: +35% MoM
✔️ New Qredo Registrations: +159% MoM
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!

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

Qredo acquires Xena team & tech! 💪
On July 19th, we were delighted to announce the acquisition of the team and technology behind Xena Exchange, a derivatives platform that pioneered self-custodial trading and a range of sophisticated algorithmic trading tools.
The team will be integrated into Qredo as a new unit, Qredo Markets, tasked with pairing Qredo's decentralized custody infrastructure with Xena technology to create a new suite of institutional-grade tools for accessing digital asset liquidity.
