StakeCube in Numbers
Bitcoin seems to be consolidating above the $60,000 level this week while altcoins continue to show tremendous growth. Ethereum, Polkadot and Solana all reached an all time high, just to name the most prominent of them. Seems like we could be in the middle of what is known as an alt-season, as money continues to rotate out of Bitcoin into different altcoins. On StakeCube we saw a significant increase in demand for SCC, with pretty high exchange volume on the SCC/BTC pair. This could be in anticipation of the release of SCP Wallet version 1.1.6 which finally came today. Mining profitability also experienced some recovery this week, after the steady fall it has been going through lately.
- User Count: 126,377 +0.49%
- Pool Value: 584.57 BTC +0.75%
- Daily BTC Mined: 0.095 BTC +2.15%

As for the coins listed on StakeCube, Divi clearly stands out as it managed to double in price this week. XLR made it to the list again, being top 3 both last week and this week. MMO was top 5, perhaps thanks to the imminent release of their NFT marketplace.
These were the top 5 gainers for this week:

SCPizza Airdrop
SCP Wallet v1.1.6 codenamed Aeternum is here, and as promised, so is the SCPizza airdrop. A month ago we announced that to commemorate the release we would airdrop Pizza NFTs to all StakeCube Protocol users that retweeted the announcement:

Development News
SCP Wallet
The latest SCP Wallet update (v1.1.6) was successfully deployed today!
Launch tweet: https://twitter.com/SC_Protocol/status/1456696932919873537
We codenamed it “Aeternum” (ˈɛ-ˈter-ˌnu̇m), which when translated Latin-to-English roughly means “Eternal”, “Forever” or “Everlasting”. This is a nod to the newly implemented SCP-4 NFT standard, which is designed to be resistant to NFT vulnerabilities relating to malleability. For instance, image hosts going down, bad actors editing images within NFTs or even “vanishing” images are not possible thanks to the use of this new technology.
This upgrade enables the new SCP-4 standard to be used for creating Collections and NFTs; powered by SCP, IPFS and Filecoin for up-to 32GB in uploadable content, entirely free of charge and with unlimited uses!
With this, StakeCube Protocol stands tall as a long-term provider of truly decentralized NFTs and Web 3.0 content. The addition of Dash’s InstantSend also allows SCP-4 NFTs to be minted, transferred, traded and more without any waiting time; a truly instant DeFi protocol.
In addition to the SCP-4 protocol, SCP Wallet has been fully adapted to the upcoming SC v3 branding, with a sleek new interface design complemented by light and dark modes.
SCP Wallet also now includes a new functionality named the “SCP Developer Toolkit”. Thanks to it, even the least techy users can now launch their very own SCP tokens within just a couple clicks, zero code, zero hassle, the most efficient way of bootstrapping any DeFi project.
