Dear Pundians,

Happy New Year! The year of the Tiger is about taking big chances and going on new adventures. We are very excited and enthusiastic about the progress of Pundi X.

To start the year right, we launched the Pundi X Mission WAGMI NFTs, giving away almost 32 million $PURSE to reward the community. Other giveaway campaigns have concluded as well this month, handing out prizes to over 300 winners.

On the development side, we upgraded our XPOS to support USDT onchain transactions by using Binance Smart Chain (BSC). This solves the high gas fees when transferring using Ethereum blockchain, continue to help growing our global market by reducing the costs for the merchants when adopting blockchain transactions.

Without further ado, let’s jump into the details of our activities this January.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

XPOS Upgrade for USDT low-cost onchain transactions

Based on merchants’ requests, we’ve added support for USDT onchain crypto sales & payment. XPOS merchants can now selling USDT and depositing it to customers’ BSC compatible private wallets. The XPOS merchants can also accept USDT payment from any BSC compatible private wallets.

In addition, when XPOS merchants need to make onchain USDT deposit to their crypto sales account, they can send USDT BEP20 and DAI BEP20 to their accounts.

Read the guides in accepting and selling USDT BEP20:

XPOS daily transaction limit

With more and more countries are setting out the guidelines of crypto transactions and AML policy, we are following up the standards in different countries. XPOS developers added the mechanism to manage different transaction volume limits by country/region for compliance requirements.

NPXSXEM Migration

January 31, 2022 is the last day for $NXPSXEM holders to migrate their tokens to $PURSE. We’ve concluded the migration for NPXSXEM and no longer offer the support for $NPXSXEM.

$PURSE holders can store their tokens in a decentralized wallet that is compatible with BSC (ex. Trust Wallet, Math Wallet, Metamask…etc) or Pundi X Chain [ex. f(x)Wallet].

Binance completed $PURSE distribution for $PUNDIX holders

We’d like to shout out to Binance for the support of airdropping $PURSE to eligible $PUNDIX holders during 21st June to 13th October 2021. Binance users can confirm the receipt of these tokens via the Distribution page in the User Center.
