ββPCHAIN (PI) has introduced exciting updates
PCHAIN mainnet was launched on March 30th 2019 with a unique multi-chain hybrid framework enabling large-scale industrial applications of blockchain smart contracts in an hybrid and fully interoperable ecosystem with PCHAIN public permissionless main chain at its core.
In addition to its multi-chain hybrid framework, 6 patents including (but not limited to) a patented PDBFT consensus algorithm, unified knowledge graph, smart data Oracle mechanism and cross-chain transactions. PCHAIN is also committed to support non-native token smart contract calls while solving the blockchain trilemma (scalability, security, decentralisation) and never closed smart contract loops relying on external data.
PCHAIN takes advantage of both types of blockchain: public permissionless and private permissioned. By making public and private blockchains interoperable, organizations can isolate and control sensitive data on a private blockchain while still safely interacting with the world at large through an interoperable public blockchain.
This has been PCHAIN vision since inception and led to the signing of 4 permissioned Commercial Child Chains (CCCs): Qiang Sheng Smart-e (launched), KINGGRID (delivered), Weida Group (signed) and GAC-INTERBEING LAB (signed), one year only after launching its mainnet.
Highlights on the current state of the project:
βͺοΈMainnet launched and running stable for 1+ year
βͺοΈMulti-chain hybrid (public permissionless and private permissioned) framework, EVM enabled and 1-2s block speed
βͺοΈ6 patents including but not limited to: PDBFT consensus, unified knowledge graph, smart data Oracle mechanism and cross-chain
βͺοΈ4 Permissionned Commercial Child Chains (CCC) Signed: 1 launched, 2 developed and one under development
βͺοΈ70+ node validators
βͺοΈToken Swap ended
βͺοΈ88.5m non swapped Native PI burn (today April 23rd)
βͺοΈzkSNARKs and Smart Data 3.0 under development
Upcoming Events to keep an eye on:
βͺοΈUpdated native PI supply metrics
βͺοΈPartnership with a public node hosting specialist and joint campaign
βͺοΈBuybacks on exchanges financed by the private CCC pipeline
βͺοΈNew CCC to be announced
βͺοΈMore PCHAIN tools, improved UX / UI

ββSTATE OF THE STAKING
According to the Staking Rewards USD value locked in staking approaches 6 billion USD, while the Staking Market Cap (valuation of all projects that have staking mechanism) is currently at 12.2 billion USD.
We have prepared the list of projects sorted by the USD value of the staked tokens. According to the list, top 7 are Tezos, EOS, Cosmos, Algorand, Dash, Tron, NEM and Synthetics Network have at least 100M value of USD locked in Staking each. These projects in total have 4.3 Billion value of USD staked which is approximately 73% of all USD value locked in staking.
We calculated the ratio of staked coins to the circulating supply as well. The leaders are Tezos (95.4%), Synthetix (85.7%), Kava(81.3%), Cosmos (77.0%), and BitMax (72.6%).
Note: for Kava and Iris Network we took the ratio of staked coins to the total supply since these projects allow to stake locked supply.

ββTokenomics of Recent and Upcoming DEFI projects
We decided to take a look at the upcoming DEFI projects with already announced token metrics and compare them with the recent projects that are already available on exchanges.
The ROI on the picture clearly shows that investors are currently interested in new DEFI projects.
We believe there are two main reasons:
βͺοΈDEFI is proved to be one of the most actively discussed and hyped use case for blockchain tech
βͺοΈDEFI projects have modest valuations in most cases and working business model that supports the demand for their tokens

ββTOP 15 COINS BY SOCIAL VOLUME IN APRIL
Social volume is a metric developed and tracked by the Santiment team. The social volume shows the number of mentions of the coin on 1000+ crypto social media channels, including Telegram groups, crypto subreddits, discord groups, private traders chats, and more. The result is, of course, limited to the number of social media channels tracked by Santiment team, still, we believe it is a quite well-designed tool: for example, If a single short telegram message includes the word crypto more than once, this message will increase the social volume of the word crypto by 1, not by 10, the same applies to all other social media platforms.
According to the data, BNB and Bitcoin were mentioned more than 100k times in April.
Top 5 are BNB (188.24K), BTC (109.62K), EOS (34.079K), ETH (31.948K), and GOT (20.216K).
