Dear PolkaEx community, we are pleased to inform you that PolkaEx’s Claim function has been first deployed on Shiden Network in order to make it easier for users to Claim their $PKEX and to reduce unnecessary gas fees on Ethereum. In addition, Farms, Pools, Swap and other functions are being gradually deployed on Shiden Network, stay tuned!

The 1st Claim will still remain on the Ethereum network, this means all participants who are yet to claim their first batch of tokens will have to do so on Ethereum and all future claims will be migrated to Shiden Network. Early investors can switch to Shiden Network on the PolkaEx DApp to claim their PKEX tokens from now on.

There are 6 claims left in the Private A round and 4 claims left in the Private B round. The specific claim time is as follows:

About PolkaEx

PolkaEx is a cross-chain DeFi suite consisting of a Decentralized Exchange, a Launchpad, Liquidity mining, and NFT usecases. Our main chain of focus is Astar and by combining a Launchpad with a Decentralized exchange we believe this can open the door for legitimate projects seeking to raise funds and list on a Decentralized exchange on Shiden to do so in a decentralized, low fee and developer-friendly environment. Our Launchpad is currently on Ethereum but the v2 of it and our Dex will be launching on Shiden before the end of the year. Shiden provides PolkaEx and the DeFi community as a whole a Layer 2 scaling solution which is beneficial in terms of transaction fees and speed. To summarize, while we make it possible for community members and investors to invest in early ideas and projects, we provide projects with a Decentralized exchange to list their tokens.
