Updates on our supported projects
Let's take a look at what's new in our projects for February 2022. We'll give you the latest news on the different networks for which we validate at Stakely.
SSV Network
They have introduced an updated graphical environment, easier and more intuitive with new tools to make navigation easier for the user.
Cosmos
Cosmos remains the cradle of great ideas and projects. In the last month we have seen the list of testnet networks that will be coming to Cosmos in the first half of the year. Archway, Celestia, Tgrade, Umee, Pylons, are some of them, so we will follow them closely.
In addition, we took a look at the Interchain Security environment, which uses IBC and will be launched at Cosmos, as well as the arrival at Cosmos IBCGang of Sommfinance, a new co-processor for EVM that aims to make transactions more agile and automated.
We also celebrated the launch of the UMEE Mainnet, a cross-chain full of possibilities, with native lending module, community governance and enhanced interoperability.
Avalanche
Avalanche has made a strategic investment in EonXI Labs with the goal of bridging socio-economic gaps through metaverse and P2E gaming, and PlayAscenders, an open world RPG inspired by Zelda: Breath of the Wild, launches on an Avalanche subnet.
According to the Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute (CCRI), Avalanche consumes the same amount of energy per year as just 46 American households, or 0.0028% of the energy consumed by the Ethereum network.
AVAX is available for trading on GetCoinZoom, FTX.US, ZeroSwapLabs, and already has its Liquid Staking on BENQI, where by staking AVAX, you receive sAVAX and generate interest on the native Avalanche token.
BitCanna
Bitcanna has continued to expand during the month of February. It is now available and functional on Emeris Beta and JunoSwap Dex. It is now accepted as a currency for the Moonbys marketplace.
It has also added a partnership with IBC Frens, which will include in a set of "Melted Faces" exclusive Bitcanna details in its genesis collection.

In addition, we met the winners of the latest parachains have been Hydra Dx, Interlay HQ, and the 154th motion to elect the "Elected curator" of the Polkadot Pioneer's Prize, which turned out to be a multisig between Alistair Stewart and Aleixo Sanchez of Web3 Foundation, Xiliang Chen of Acala, Watanabe Sota of Astar, and Nacho R.I. as councillor, has passed the vote of the council.
This month also saw the approval of the parachains calendar until next January.

Proposal 14 to increase the minimum commission rate for validators to 5% has also been approved.
Fantom
Although we are sure that our users are much more interested in what is happening these days in the project, we cannot forget the great work that is being done and that we are sure will continue.
In February, the Fantom community presented a new governance proposal to reduce the amount of auto-staking required to run a validation node. Request now supports more than 15 cryptocurrencies on the Fantom network for billing and cryptocurrency payments.
FTM has been included in Poloniex and Blocknative and we have had the launch of Solidly Exchange, Artion V2 and **liquid staking in Stader **Labs.
Dapp Radar and Zen Ledger IO are now compatible with Fantom and Coinstats has integrated the network with a host of utilities.
March will be a big month of change and learning for Fantom and we will be here to support and tell you about it.
Juno
From Juno we can highlight a lot of internal work, through Dao DAO, with the development of DAO tools for creating multisigs, building DAOs with governance tokens and operating them all through the user interface.
They have launched NETA on Juno, submitted a proposal to add incentives to kickstarter and launched community chats specific to the Netherlands, Spanish and Turkish speaking countries.

Games World at Near. Pixel Dapps has launched Crypt Hero Game, a blockchain-based Player-vs-Environment game on NEARProtocol, and LandToEmpire, a Play-to-Earn strategy game, launched its mainnet!
The number of validators has increased and the upcoming launch of fragment-only producers will allow more participants to help secure the network. And the partnership with Elliptic will improve security in the chain.
Marlin
During February at Marlin, the Bridge and Governance contract has been upgraded to the latest version of Solidity in preparation for the implementation in Arbitrum.
Binance added POND on Cross Margin and POND is now fully available on MultichainOrg (formerly Anyswap) with added liquidity for Ethereum, Arbitrum and BSC.
Added support for POND/MPond token bridging to be bi-directional, enabling bridging between Arbitrum and Ethereum. The user interface is currently in testing and will be released once it is ready.
Regen Network
Regen was another project that focused its February activity on the Ethereum Denver event, but there is still more, such as REGEN available on Junoswap, the great collaboration with the Toucan team, who also aggregated it for positive climate protocols, and much more!
One that has returned to the Regen Network, Tradingrades, with its public sale and governance proposal #9 on the Regen Ledger v3.0 upgrade will be active until 12/03/2022.
Secret Network
ALTER has been listed on Secretswap in February. And Secret Python, a tool focused on Python interactions with Secret Network, is now available.
It has also been announced that they are working on a new feature for Secret DAO that will make DAO creation in SCRT simple, easy and cost-effective. And Secret Network has been updated to v1.2.5, which introduces query nodes, which will greatly increase performance and result in a faster and smoother experience when using Secret dApps.
Solana
This month, Solana launched Solana Pay, a new decentralised payment protocol that allows consumers to send digital dollar currencies, such as USDC, from their wallet directly to the merchant's account.
And we already have the dates for the next Hackathon, New York 14 March and Bahamas 23-29 April.
