Panther Protocol Announcements

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) costs users hundreds of millions of dollars annually across blockchain networks, often worsening the overall UX in DeFi. On this blog, we explain how Panther mitigates the negative effects of MEV through its privacy-preserving infrastructure. https://blog.pantherprotocol.io/how-panther-protocol-shields-users-from-mev-privacy-as-a-powerful-defense/

We are going live tomorrow at 5:00 pm UTC on Web3 Global with Access Protocol, GVNR, Spark, Alvey, Shido Network, Shift, Kaspa, and multiple speakers from other projects to discuss real-world adoption and payments in crypto. https://x.com/web3globalmedia/status/2072734497070629200?s=20 We hope to see you there!

It’s Friday! Before we start the weekend, we hereby share this week’s development update! We are getting closer to Panther’s Base launch. ✅ This week, the Base production contracts have been fully configured. This is necessary to start testing all functionalities of Panther’s Base deployment, which will start after the weekend. ✅ The previously reported error message when the user's PoH verification had expired has been tweaked and is ready for deployment to mainnet. ✅ The error messages caused by public RPC failures have been made more user-friendly. As mentioned earlier, next up is testing all functionalities of Panther’s Base deployment and implementing the necessary configurations on the protocol's frontend. We will keep you posted on our progress and wish y’all a great weekend ahead!

Dear Panther community, We are happy to share this week’s development update! This week's update focuses on the wallet engine of Panther’s Mainnet, as well as on other protocol enhancements. ✅ Panther’s optimized wallet engine has been implemented, tested, and deployed onto Mainnet! This means a smoother, even faster UX when transacting zAssets within Panther Protocol. It also means a faster onboarding of UTXOs after submitting transactions. ✅ The public RPCs have been replaced by a subgraph for updating users' data within the dApp ✅ Furthermore, the development team is investigating a verification error message that appears when users' PoH verification status has expired, as well as the previously reported RPC errors. That’s a wrap, onwards we go!

Why onchain privacy matters in the age of AI AI made onchain analysis more powerful, and Panther Protocol helps restore privacy within DeFi by utilizing Zero-Knowledge Proofs. On this blog, we describe why AI and privacy are converging, why your onchain privacy matters in decentralized finance, and how Panther aims to give users greater control over their onchain data.

The Advanced Staking rewards claiming page is now live! $ZKP holders who used Panther v0 can check out their rewards by connecting their wallet and switching to the Polygon network. The staking rewards page can be accessed through the following links: - https://canary.pantherdao.app/#/rewards - https://pantherdao.app/#/rewards?tab=staking

Panther’s latest DAO proposal, PIP-38, has passed! The DAO decided to vote in favor of winding down Panther’s Advanced Staking infrastructure by opening the Merkle-based claim window for eligible users on Polygon and authorizing the funding and activation of the frozen Vault claim mechanism, enabling eligible stakers to claim $ZKP and PNFT entitlements directly from the Vault. There will be a temporary vesting allocation to cover the remaining $ZKP shortfall required to satisfy the previously promised 10% APY return for eligible advanced staking positions, as well as $ZKP allocations for Panther’s mainnet ecosystem deployment activities, including: - Privacy rewards - Initial AMM liquidity - And the subsidy pool defined under PIP-26. Keep an eye out for more updates about the Advanced Staking rewards claiming process!

Yesterday, PIP-38 went live and has, as of now, reached ~63% of the votes required to pass. This proposal finalizes the wind-down of Panther’s Advanced Staking infrastructure by opening the Merkle-based claim window for eligible users on Polygon and authorizes the funding and activation of the frozen Vault claim mechanism, enabling eligible stakers to claim $ZKP and PNFT entitlements directly from the Vault. And, approximately 2.7M $ZKP is still needed for the proposal to pass!
