Here’s everything that transpired at Panther this week. 👇 **TECH UPDATES:** - First of all, PIP-11 was implemented successfully Advanced Staking for [$ZKP](https://d1K0bB04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/DN+113/d1K0bB04/VVyrSW6hwZdCW1XY0rR3VywZWW6wcfC_4W1LmJM_h9pG3q905V1-WJV7CgN80W1YFp-X43Y4h9W6yR5LC4mL0N3W4Cj-5c4mS-DdV28xmb7tC1bNW505mTt5mr6SHN99tnZDzDDk6W5xNRCD8GxzbRW4nx6qL7mCJfKW3H2ckJ33VrpfW8dNcl_5mjjCxW9l5sct1-WtTQW8HWFkt1q_tn8W5ZsncJ6Sm9HdW1WP0Pm78k3XWW3jPfRM6vWhWVN94YrQclG7bTW608cfm3QCJjgN1B4l7_4NlfBN1Ks2PzdQ8PxW4r-4Bk6vpgKFN2k1thMgvf_tW8-qqxV4tGL2MW7kfPBp2SDFGRVT5w6z3mS6-d36K51) is now live at [https://ipfs.io/ipns/pantherprotocol.eth/#/…](https://d1K0bB04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/DN+113/d1K0bB04/VVyrSW6hwZdCW1XY0rR3VywZWW6wcfC_4W1LmJM_h9p33q8_wV1-WJV7CgGK6W1S16921Tpm8vN2qrGBgcqwy0W68n_pC5VTCVjN5tLJWCRHM-9TcM-f2B2W_xW1z9bFm6RmGZCW3HtmPw1qtkp3N7wsFkWf7xx1N8J87Rm3kBJ_W6Sv3xB2tJX4JW8SmBBp1kh_VrW4xCK9Q6HJwFpW5yXsVS8szmTmW93k5Kk8SR6m6W1yr2S24M3S6gW6nh5q08gj7vWW69YVWk8D21fmW5CwZRB694V3lW1r-6lv8gkrYXN9d5tx4RVlD53mxy1), and all requested upgrades have been executed. This includes the ability to view the APR without connecting your wallet. - Btw, v0.5 is only a few weeks old, and it’s already showing great promise! Check out these usage stats: - $ZKP staked on #Ethereum ➡+43M - $ZKP staked on #Polygon ➡+35M - Total $ZKP staked in Panther v0.5 ➡ +79M - Percentage of ZKP tokens that are contributing to building a ground-breaking privacy-preserving network: ➡+32% - While a small group of Panther contributors continues to work on v0.5’s interface and front-end components, most technical resources have been shifted to v1’s development. The latter group has been primarily concerned with allocating time and resources after detailed planning. - Another significant breakthrough has been to define a working fee structure for v1 that can make the protocol sustainable in the longer term. This design also influences other game-theoretical and economic components, such as rewards for the protocol’s users. - While planning has been mostly completed and some components are already designed, the development will reach full speed midway through February. Needless to say, we’re thrilled. **ECOSYSTEM** - Co-Founder Oliver Gale also recently participated in a talk about the FTX scandal and its impact on the Caribbean with industry experts.

Panther provides DeFi users with fully collateralized privacy-enhancing digital assets, leveraging crypto-economic incentives and zkSNARKs technology. Users can mint zero-knowledge zAssets by depositing digital assets from any blockchain into Panther vaults. zAssets flow across blockchains via a privacy-first interchain DEX and a private metastrate. Panther envisions that zAssets will become an ever-expanding asset class for users who want their transactions and strategies the way they should always have been: private._ **Be sure to check out our** [**Whitepaper**](https://d1K0bB04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/DN+113/d1K0bB04/VVyrSW6hwZdCW1XY0rR3VywZWW6wcfC_4W1LmJM_h9pZ3q90pV1-WJV7CgKMxW2FfM3W1djZfWW1x4G156XVKW-W8LY1Fh6rhZQJW2_Pbxd2hdlQQW26kGGV7l6DTxW6V6kf62mzPRjW6hG99j2vQQlhW3NFNzs6gQ1mQVr6Xtc1N-KTwW20-jB64FNy-NW2-qhPk6mlRCSW97HFxy8HvrkSVsCKyQ2G9J7TW5Y7VY686pCK6W12NcRn8qnqkGW1_Nlc86vJn6rW6N4vJC21TtBbW6DH6Vd7y15_xMyD_729WlXvW2r_m6F70TpxqW3rp_TR8w3RncW7NyL8g2YzNLdW1w8xTx2YnCL9W42cBdQ71cjD9N28_hzXLPd0KW8dnHLW3vmPvy3dlB1)
