Until today, MARK token rewards were reserved for Uniswap Liquidity Providers in the MARK/ETH and MARK/USDC pools. Within The Press, MARK token holders are now able to stake their tokens in exchange for xMARK tokens.

As the Fair Launch via the Launchpad comes to an end, we must extend a huge thank you to everyone that participated by staking and earning MARK token rewards.

Over the last 3 and a half weeks, the Launchpad has maintained an average TVL well above $15m USD, with a peak amount of $34m USD, making it one of the largest yield farming fair launches over the last several months in the DeFi space. …

The Benchmark Protocol is an Uncorrelated, Liquid, VIX-denominated Collateral Utility. The protocol is a rules-based, supply-elastic collateral utility that adjusts supply based on volatility indexes (VIX) and deviations from the target metric — equal to 1 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) unit. Employing the SDR creates a larger use case rather than exposure to just one currency; this creates a larger user base and delineated exposure to markets around the world. The DeFi space needs a collateral utility that retains its efficacy and increases inherent baseline liquidity during periods of high volatility. …
Cross-chain Interoperability propelling the Future of Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
We are thrilled to announce the integration of Benchmark Protocol into the Solana network. This ecosystem integration further strengthens Benchmark Protocol’s cross-chain interoperability capabilities, consequently bolstering liquidity into the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.
Building on Solana will allow Benchmark Protocol to excel in a cross-chain environment, ensuring that $MARK moves seamlessly between these blockchains. Being chain agnostic is a critical facet for $MARK, as one of the primary use cases of the MARK token will be applying collateralization amongst many of the prominent blockchain ecosystems.
Solana offers single unified chain capabilities, enabling the protocol to support 65k+ transactions per second at the base layer. With such high-throughput capacity, the need for infrastructure arises on a massive scale. This presents Benchmark Protocol with a significant opportunity to integrate and promote Solana ecosystem. Furthermore, our integration with Solana Network facilitates an overall positive impact towards propelling the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. …
Benchmark Protocol is excited to announce our plans on utilizing RenVM to ensure the protocol can excel in a cross-chain environment and further, ensuring that $MARK can move seamlessly between these blockchains. Being blockchain agnostic is an important facet for $MARK, so it can be used as strong collateral regardless of blockchain.
The Ren alliance includes a consortium DeFi projects, such as Kyber Network, Aave, and Matic, as well as crypto investment firms Polychain Capital and Synapse Capital, and crypto exchange Idex.
The Benchmark team is pleased to be offering another layer of valuable utility for the Benchmark Network. By integrating RenVM, the Ren Protocol allows the Benchmark ecosystem to thrive not only on Ethereum, but other layer one blockchains such as Polkadot and Binance Smart chain. Further down the road, we see RenVM as a crucial bridge to the broader capital markets as the infrastructure matures. …
