Chainflip Development Update—February 25th 2022

Horses for Courses: Chainflip’s Use of Stablecoins

Any conversation regarding stablecoins can quickly descend into abstract and tribally charged arguments about centralisation and control, so it might be useful to say this straight off the bat: We are pro-decentralisation. Our mission is literally to allow users to delete centralised spot exchanges from their minds, allowing us all

Another precious fortnight. Progress Since Last Update Since the last update, we’ve been heads-down writing the code which we hope will resolve most of the issues we’re seeing on Soundcheck at the moment. We’ve pretty much stalled the incentivised program for the time being, in order to
