📢 MEXC to Delist KINT 📢 The Centralized Exchange, MEXC has informed us that they will be delisting KINT token from their exchange due to decreased demand for trading KINT on their platform. Please note that KINT is still available for trading on Kraken and Gate.io with Fiat on-ramp integration available on https://kintsugi.interlay.io/wallet In addition, we have seen an increase in trading volume on decentralized exchanges (DEXes). This is an overall positive development, as it shows that there is still interest in KINT despite the delisting from MEXC & more users preferring DEXes.

📢 Community Announcement: Temporary Block Time Slowdown & UI Inaccuracy on Interlay 📢 Attention community members, Currently, Interlay network is experiencing slower block times of approximately 14.5 seconds instead of the usual 12 seconds. Please note that the rewards and APR numbers displayed in the UI may be slightly inaccurate during this period, as the estimations assume a block time of 12 seconds. Our team is investigating the collator node connection issue and working to restore normal block times. Stay tuned for further updates. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

⚒️ Maintenance : Kintsugi Testnet ⚒️ We would like to inform you that we will be conducting a series of tests on the Kintsugi testnet starting today and these tests might continue until Monday. During this time, it is important to note that the testnet may experience instability and some functionalities might be affected. Specifically, user interactions on the UI may not work as expected, and there might be issues with connecting to the vaults. While we strive to minimize disruptions, it is possible that you may encounter temporary difficulties or errors during your interactions with the Kintsugi testnet. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we work diligently to enhance the network's performance.

📢 Important Notice: Updates on XCM Module Breakdown Due to Kusama and Statemine Changes 📢 Our XCM module broke due to recent updates in Kusama and Statemine. They changed how they store balances and the way XCM transactions are submitted, which needs us to update our module. Due to this, you can't currently send an XCM transaction from Kusama or Statemine to Kintsugi through our UI. Also, if you use Kusama as source or destination, the balance shown, the list of transferable tokens, and fee estimates will not be correct. If you try to transfer a token that isn't really supported, the transaction will fail. Don't worry, no funds are at risk. We're working on fixing this as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

📢Governance : Kintsugi Lending Incentives📢 GM community! 🌞 A new governance proposal is now up for discussion regarding incentives on Kintsugi Lending to improve the liquidity for efficient borrowing or lending of assets. It proposes to create initial liquidity for lending by incentivizing the supply of USDT and KSM for 1 month with a total of 3,000 KINT (1,500 for each market). Find more details on the same & participate in the discussion here 👇 https://kintsugi.subsquare.io/democracy/proposal/115 Your voice matters, every KINT 🗳️ counts!

Banxa Fiat onramp live for KINT We are excited to announce that the Banxa Fiat onramp is now live for KINT on Kintsugi Hub under the Fund Wallet option. 💰 Users can now buy KINT directly through this integration thereby improving the user experience and making it easier for users to mint KBTC & explore the Kintsugi DeFi Hub. ⛓️ This is a big WIN for not only Kintsugi but also for the wider ecosystem! 🚀 Check it out here 👇 https://kintsugi.interlay.io/

iBTC migration to Stellaswap’s V3 Pulsar Pool GM Community! 🌞 The proposal to list iBTC on a more efficient Pulsar V3 pool has been passed. The new $iBTC - $DOT V3 pool will launch on 17th May. This means that the old farms of $iBTC - $GLMR & $INTR - $GLMR will be retired & no longer accrue rewards with the launch of V3. All iBTC LP providers & Users on the V2 will have to manually migrate their positions to V3 since the automated migrator will not work because iBTC is paired with a different asset on V3. Check this tweet by the Stellaswap Team to know more 👇 https://twitter.com/StellaSwap/status/1658130741744619521
