Graviex & UPX Miscommunication

Hey peeps,
After a miscommunication with Graviex pertaining to a bug that has gotten worse over-time, we had posted a message notifying users not to use Graviex. However, Graviex was able to reach out to us on other channels after making said announcement, and we are both working together to correct the problems regarding to withdrawal limits on the Graviex exchange.

The Graviex dev team is now working on the solution for these withdraw issues, and you will hear more from us as soon as the issue is corrected. Until then, you are still able to withdraw 50,000-100,000 UPX at a time. Withdrawing more may result in an error. However, you are still able to send any amount of UPX via the uPlexa network to wallets without a problem.

Nevertheless, exchanges should not be used as wallets. Regardless of whether you're Facebook, Binance, Kucoin, or Tesla, centralized services are susceptible to both attacks and bugs.

I apologize if this lead to any panic among the community.

Steadfast Storm code is still being released tomorrow, with a scheduled testnet hardfork for the 30th.

Thank you for your patience!
SS Code Updates Squashed, Merged, and open-source!

Testnet will fork to "Steadfast Storm" set at block 3,000 on December 30th, 2020 (old testnet has been replaced).

Tutorials will release on Dec 30th!

Wrapped UPX (wUPX) & Exchange LIstings

As we make way to PlexaNet running off of SS testent, we are also working on finally obtaining one very reputable centralized exchange listing.

We have also continuously talked about how decentralized exchanges will be the future of crypto. Not needing to go about extorting developers for money for listings. Most of which, do not require KYC, as they are not operated by any specific entity.

We have decided to open the idea of creating Wrapped UPX (wUPX). wUPX would be an ETH asset in which is trade-able on infamous and simplistic decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap, 1inch, and Sushiswap. Rewards may also be provided to those who provide liquidity to our pairs on dex's, in the form of "Liquidity Farming".
Note: these rewards should remain far lower than the rewards of Utility Nodes.

The way wUPX would work, is through a custodial medium. You would be able to transfer UPX for wUPX directly, and vice versa. You could trade your ETH assets into wUPX (at a rate of 1:1), and then swap that for UPX, adding a layer of privacy to your decentralized ETH asset trading. You could also swap your UPX to wUPX (at a rate of 1:1) if you would like to hold wUPX in your ETH wallets such as metamask, provide liquidity and thus earn farming rewards, or simply wish to trade on exchanges with better liquidity and lesser spread).

When UPX is provided, wUPX is minted to the ETH address the UPX user provides. When wUPX is provided, wUPX is then burned and UPX is sent to the UPX address the user provides.

Some final notes:
wUPX would not be a private currency. This would be an ETH asset used for trading, providing liquidity, or to provide exit-privacy out of your ETH trades into UPX. wUPX would not work with Utility Nodes, but could be swapped directly (1:1) back to UPX to be used for privacy and utility nodes.

We are looking for some devs or another company to partner up to help out with wUPX. Please DM myself or other Core Contributors if you would like to help

πŸ“’ uPlexa Coming to DeFi in 2 days
uPlexa will be launching a bridge to #bsc (bUPX) & #Ethereum (wUPX), bringing privacy to both chains.

The bridge will support:
* Swaps to/from UPX, wUPX, bUPX
* Liquidity Farming
* Wallet #gapping

Audits underway by Solidity.Finance


Bridge launch: Monday, April 12th
https://twitter.com/uPlexaCoin/status/1381011634211020801
During final testing and prep for deployment the contributors found some small issues in the bridge back and front end code. These issues are minor but affecting user experience. After serious consideration we decided to delay for 48 hours. This is to put the final touches on the bridge interface and give our users the best app possible. It will also give us a few more hours to organize the marketing push assosiated. We are confident this will be more than enough time and deployment will commence same time 11am PST Wednesday the 14th. We apologize for the any inconvenience this caused and rest assured this is the first and highest priority right now. The uPlexa Bridge will kick ass!
