We worked tirelessly over the last year to provide you with a regulated fintech banking ecosystem that offers a faster and more secure way to manage your crypto and fiat currencies in one place. Our mission is to facilitate the mainstream use of digital assets and bridge the gap between traditional and decentralised finance. Looking back on our accomplishments this year, we are proud of our feats and overwhelmed with love from our community. Let’s walk down memory lane to revisit some of the achievements.
Over the year, we launched our much-awaited products that had a real and lasting impact on streamlining digital asset management for our customers.
Scallop App (Beta): We are elated that we have onboarded over 20000 users this month as part of our exclusive whitelisting for the Scallop App! We thank our dedicated followers and users for their support and loyalty.
Scallop Learn: At Scallop, we believe learning is a lifelong process, especially in the ever-evolving crypto space. You need to be on your toes with the latest updates in the industry. We created our knowledge-sharing hub — Scallop Learn — an engaging educational platform that caters to all levels of users, from those who are new to the crypto space to veterans who want to stay up-to-date.
Scallop Exchange: We launched our Beta version of the Scallop Exchange with an overwhelming response. The Exchange enables our customers to easily buy, sell, and hold 100+ crypto tokens with 20+ fiat currencies either via bank transfer or credit/debit card payments. In just a few days, we had over 39,000 sign-ups from members of our Scallop-loving community.
Scallop Chain Testnet: After months of anticipation and excitement, Scallop Chain’s Testnet has been released! The Scallop Chain community can now join in the testing process and help shape Scallop Chain’s potential as a peer-to-peer cross-chain asset transfer network. This is an incredible milestone for the Scallop Chain community and a breakthrough for decentralised systems everywhere.
Staking 2.0: We’ve been hard at work getting our Scallop-staking users migrated to the new and improved staking program! It’s been an exciting process — the rewards have been high, with remarkable new APYs.
We at Scallop value personal challenge, competition, and camaraderie among our users. And what better way to promote this than adventure and sports? We are proud to have partnered with some record makers.
