Polkamarkets Monthly Recap — November 2021
November was focused on technical development and audits by leading blockchain firms for technology security such as Certik and Red4Sec. We have passed all of them and we’re now certified, adding them to the Hacken audit. A partnership with Transak Finance was established for fiat-to-crypto payment gateway bringing traditional payment methods to the prediction markets protocol.
With the release of the Polkamarkets Protocol in a live environment, and in order to increase adoption of the protocol, we’ve launched protocol incentives that have been running since its inception. We have already distributed $18,000 USDC to the community. Here are some stats worth sharing (source):
- +700 Monthly Transactions
- +500 Monthly Volume (MOVR) / +145k USD
Here’s a quick summary of what we accomplished in the latest month:
