Dear Panther community,

As Panther Ventures Ltd. (PVL) continues to mature as an organization, it is taking steps to enhance its digital footprint. This includes the creation of a standalone PVL website that articulates its role as a leader in blockchain software development. The website will also underscore PVL's role as a software development company, distinct from the operator of Panther Protocol, Panther DAO, and Panther Protocol Foundation.

Simultaneously, Panther Protocol is fast approaching stage 6 of its testnet. The PantherProtocol.io website will also see updates to better reflect the protocol's current development state.

In preparation for these updates, PVL is removing the direct link to the Advanced Staking (v0.5) interface. This community deployed interface remains accessible and can now only be accessed through the third-party IPFS service at https://ipfs.io/ipfs/Qmac3aJRw1WFWfCKMKpM6EUwD2DR1Fz64W3bvFYHpjYyEC/#/

Dear community,

Earlier this week, we shared that Panther Ventures Limited (PVL) is taking steps to enhance its digital footprint, a move that underscores PVL's role as a blockchain software company, distinct from Panther Protocol, Panther DAO, and the Panther Protocol Foundation.

Today, significant updates were made to the PantherProtocol.io website. These changes represent an important step in our journey towards providing the privacy preservation that the DeFi world deserves while still enabling compliance.

You’ll note that the targeted audience for the revamped site are VASP-licensed entities, chosen because they are optimally positioned to help make the biggest impact on the DeFi ecosystem, having both the regulatory status and technical capabilities to leverage the full potential of the protocol being built. You’ll hear more about this in the days to come.

PantherProtocol.io is still a work in progress, and you can expect to see more changes and enhancements. Please stay tuned for updates on our progress.

Dear Panthers,

We are thrilled to announce that we have released the 6th stage of our testnet on Polygon’s Amoy network. To our tester base of 3,000+, we are so grateful for your continued feedback that helps us to improve the protocol.

What to expect: Stage 6 of our testing environment contains simulated fee management, test AMM refilling mechanisms, simulated limited subsidy rewards, onboarding enhancements using a bundler service, and several technical improvements to our testing environment, all ready for you to test. If you are not yet a part of the Panther Protocol #testnet, learn how to get started here: https://blog.pantherprotocol.io/testnet-stage-6-is-now-live-with-improved-fee-management/

Disclaimer: For the avoidance of doubt, tZKP, tzZKP, and tPRP are for testing purposes only and have no economic value, nor can they be exchanged for value.

Participation on our incentivized Testnet versions may result in you earning rewards, but such credits are not represented on any blockchain as tokens.

Fellow Panthers,

We are working with Panther Protocol Foundation (PPF) to ensure that all testers are fairly rewarded based on their efforts. Miners will be rewarded according to the number of transactions mined. We will provide more details about the rewards scheme soon. PPF is responsible for incentivizing testing, but for your convenience, we will be sure to post back here with a link to any related PPF announcements once available.

Stay tuned!

We had an amazing time reconnecting with the rest of the industry at Consensus Austin! 💥

Last week, Delphi Digital released a report on the inner workings of Dark Pools for DeFi. The report deep-dives into Panther Protocol and its technology, as well as Penumbra, Railgun, Singularity, Renegade, and Tristero.

Fellow Panthers,

Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to testing Stage 6 of Panther Protocol’s testnet. We appreciate the 3000+ testers who are helping to provide valuable feedback.

Please take note that the link to the testnet has changed. You can always find the most up-to-date link at https://docs.pantherprotocol.io/docs/panther-core/testnet .

Amoy network (on which Panther Protocol’s Stage 6 is hosted) is currently experiencing issues with multiple unstable RPC services. Some testers may experience instability using the dApp, as well as with mining.

PSA to the Panther community!🐾

Testing for Stage 6 of Panther Protocol’s testnet is open, now including critical features like simulated fee management and AMM refilling. For more information about Stage 6, please visit the Panther Protocol blog here👇

Dark pools offer numerous compelling advantages for institutional crypto traders, preserving privacy and protecting trading strategies. Yet, the industry's adoption has been slow.

Why?
In our latest article, we explore why dark pools are not more widely adopted: reasons that range from regulatory compliance, to perceived associations with illegal activities, through to prevailing attitudes about handling large transactions.

Despite these obstacles, the potential benefits of dark pools are significant. They offer privacy, prevent market manipulation, and ensure secure, reliable, large-scale trades. Dark pools have the potential to be a game-changer for institutional DeFi investors.

We are happy to announce that our Chief Architect, Vadim Konstantinov, and our Head of Product, Saif Akhtar, will speak about using ZK in compliance during the ZK Ideastorm hosted by zkMonk and eduDAO.

The event takes place during the EthCC on Tuesday, July 9.
