We completed upgrades to our Liquidity Mining as a Service (LMaaS) product. As a result, we are delighted to announce we now offer support for two more networks, Avalanche (Pangolin DEX) and Polygon (QuickSwap DEX). LMaaS already supports Ethereum (Uniswap and Balancer) and Binance Smart Chain (PancakeSwap).
We successfully updated our Bridge product, integrating the Energy Web Chain (EWC), allowing users to bridge to or from EWC to other supported networks. It also included a fix for ‘WW’ tokens and fixes on the front-end for better usability.
Polkalokr continues to benefit from our white label liquidity mining solution with a renewed liquidity mining campaign! Our LMaaS product enables users to open liquidity mining pools and single-sided staking. We take care of the technology so that you can focus on token liquidity and growth on a seamless, fully audited, user-friendly interface. More here.
We launched our ALBT single-sided staking on BSC on August 5th. It started at 2300% APY with 1.2 million WALBT rewards allocated for a six-month period. Currently, it’s 70% full at 7.08 million WALBT worth $6.45 million. To stake, visit here.
We also launched a WALBT / AVAX Liquidity Mining campaign on Pangolin DEX on August 19th. It started at 2300% APY with 600k WALBT rewards for two months. We’ve passed $3M in liquidity, and you can still add to the pool here. Note that going forward, we are going to host all our new and extended campaigns on allianceblock.defiterm.io.
The new AllianceBlock Roadmap is LIVE. It’s a massive milestone for us all and we’re absolutely delighted to share AllianceBlock’s past, present, and future execution plan.
The detailed roadmap dives into strategic partnerships we’ve made, growth and business milestones we’ve reached, and awards and achievements we’ve celebrated. Most importantly, it connects the dots on our product developments and how we plan to make our vision a reality. View the full roadmap here.
Our CEO and Co-Founder, Rachid Ajaja said, “In the past 12 months we have seen monumental changes in institutional attitudes towards the digital asset industry from all facets of the global financial system and beyond. While the winds have changed, the industry is still lacking a stable channel to enable banks to trade digital assets legally, efficiently, securely, and in a fully compliant manner. That’s where AllianceBlock steps in.”

The AllianceBlock HQ is expanding! We’ve opened a new HQ in the heart of the Crypto Valley Ecosystem in Zug, Switzerland. Leveraging the rich environment for blockchain protocols that the Crypto Valley Ecosystem provides, we are delighted to have a landmark in the heart of it all. Read more about our next move here.
We launched our #MeetTheExec AMA Series! We’ll be hosting each of our C-Level Executives for an AMA, allowing our community to know them better and ask questions about them and their work at AllianceBlock.
We partnered with Elrond, one of the top Layer 1 protocols in DeFi to bring new funding, interoperability and data ownership solutions to Elrond’s rich ecosystem of DApps. More here.
We partnered with Pangolin DEX, bringing optional compliance and funding solutions to their ecosystem. The opt-in implementation will allow Pangolin to grow by allowing traditional financial players to bring liquidity into its platform. At the same time, it will also enable its existing users to choose their level of anonymity. More here.
Our partnership with LimeChain continues to thrive. This partnership has helped us champion and elevate several products in our ecosystem. Read about our work together here.
We have expanded our current partnership with Unido by bridging UDO to BSC through our interoperability solution, AllianceBlock Bridge. More here.
To finish off the month, we also announced a new partnership with Polygon, one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in DeFi. In this partnership, we’re extending our compliance and liquidity mining solutions to Polygon’s DApps. Further down the line, we’ll integrate Polygon into our decentralized exchange, AllianceBlock DEX, and P2P funding platform, AllianceBlock Fundrs. More here.
These new partnerships follow a sequence of strategic collaborations following Ava Labs, Hedera Hashgraph, Binance Smart Chain and Energy Web.
AllianceBlock is proud to have 25+ top ecosystem partners driving innovation across decentralized finance and traditional financial markets. In this month’s Partner Spotlight, we’ll give you a preview of some of their work as well as the nature of our partnerships.
Our CMO and Head of Ecosystem Anders Christensen represented AllianceBlock at the CV Summit, a unique event held by our new partners at CV Labs in the heart of Switzerland’s Crypto Valley.
