December 30, 2017 — Weekly Development Update

News and Updates from Bounty0x Development

This was an exciting week for Bounty0x. BNTY was listed on two new exchanges: Kucoin and Gate.io. After being listed on Kucoin, BNTY had over $9.5 million in total trading volume and became the most traded token on Kucoin exchange. BNTY was also added to Coinmarket cap and Blockfolio.

Members of our community have been requesting that BNTY become listed on Binance. These requests have not fallen on deaf ears. We’ve been making numerous requests to Binance over the past few weeks to list BNTY on Binance. Over the past few weeks our community has been essential in creating momentum and awareness of Bounty0x, which culminated in the listing of Bounty0x on Kucoin. Although BNTY was not listed in the current Binance voting period, we will continue our efforts to work with Binance to list BNTY until they prove fruitful. In fairness to Binance for not including us in the current voting period, BNTY was not listed on coin marketcap until only a few days prior to the announcement of the current Binance voting period.

This week Bounty0x also announced a $100k Bounty for anyone who provides information leading to the identification of the Etherdelta hacker. The bounty is being offered by a member of the community.

Announcing the Bounty0x Community Giveaway Program

In the coming days we will be announcing details about a new bounty giveaway program open to all BNTY holders. The giveaway will give bounty hunters the opportunity to enter to win tokens being distributed by bounty hosts holding bounty campaigns on our platform. Details will be released soon.
