User Interfaces for Polymesh and the POLY:POLYX Upgrade Bridge are officially live! Onboard to the blockchain to create, issue, and manage security tokens, or get started staking POLYX.
We're thrilled to share that both User Interfaces for Polymesh Mainnet and the 1:1 POLY:POLYX Upgrade Bridge are now live, meaning Polymesh is officially ready for users!
Users can now onboard to Polymesh through one of its designated customer due diligence providers and use the chain to create, issue, and manage security tokens, as well as participate in on-chain activities like governance and staking.
Users can also claim any ITN rewards as well as upgrade their POLY tokens to POLYX through the POLY:POLYX Upgrade Bridge (now closed as of Feb 29, 2024).
As the first public, permissioned blockchain built specifically for regulated assets, the Polymesh Mainnet marks a huge step forward when it comes to accelerating security token adoption. By incorporating capital market needs like identity and compliance into its core layer, Polymesh makes it much easier to meet regulatory requirements, ultimately enabling more market participants to benefit from tokenization.
In fact, Polymesh is already garnering regulatory reputability with its native protocol token POLYX recently being designated a utility token under Swiss laws (based on guidance provided by the Swiss financial regulator FINMA).
Polymesh launched on October 28, 2021 with a global community of 14 financially regulated entities operating nodes, with plans to continue onboarding new operators, customer due diligence providers, and service providers. Information about the network can be viewed on the Polymesh Block Explorer.
Leading up to Mainnet launch, the Polymesh Incentivized Testnet (ITN) had over 4,300 unique verified users and 12 verified capital markets participants operating nodes.
Getting started on Polymesh is easy and involves 3 key steps.
As part of the launch process, the Polymesh Association is deploying a 1:1 POLY:POLYX upgrade bridge for users to upgrade POLY to POLYX. Aside from the one-way bridge, there will be no newly minted supply except for rewards as part of the consensus validation process.
