The leading digital assets platform has launched staking service with IOST and Luna since April based on Pos (Proof of Stake) or dPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) algorithms. The staking service aims to reward Bithumb users for holding specific digital assets.
IPX is the cryptocurrency of Tachyon Protocol which ranks top 200 on CoinMarketCap with over $19 million market cap.

Recently, Tachyon VPN has reached over 400,000 users around the world following the launch of the IPX Staking System.
IPX Staking System enables IPX holders to become Node Providers on Tachyon VPN easily through staking. Stakers earn regular staking rewards but also unlimited session rewards by offering bandwidth to global VPN users. Platform Partners experienced in node management and staking running are introduced to ensure the system function. ipxus.com launched the initial IPX staking on 4th, June and over 70% of nodes were staked within just one day.
As the first exchange Platform Partner of Tachyon(IPX), Bithumb contributes over 40% to the total IPX transaction volume. This cooperation will expand the popularity and influence of IPX in the Korean market and encourage more IPX holders to join the development of the Tachyon Network. The support from Bithumb will bring more confidence to the market. It is learned that Bithumb and Tachyon will conduct more in-depth cooperation in technology development, ecosystem construction, and digital assets management in the future.
