This is a compilation of our accomplishments in the month of January. Since it was the first year of 2021, it’s absolutely crucial to lay a strong foundation for a promising year ahead.
The month started with the release of the $PARA tokenomics, token economics for the Paralink Network. It was released to explain our token and its distribution structure. We raised $2.8 Million from notable investors, such as LD Capital, Kenetic, 3Commas, Genesis Block Ventures, and NGC Ventures. We also announced Denko Mancheski, the CEO of Reef Finance – the first cross-chain DeFi operating system on Polkadot – as an advisor.
To throw some light on our investors, we interviewed three of our investors and discussed their interest in supporting our ventures. Here is a list of the investors we interviewed:
PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENTS
This month, we secured 3 partnerships with notable projects in the crypto and blockchain industry. Here is the list of our partnerships and integrations:
Darwinia: We integrated with Darwinia, a decentralized cross-chain bridge protocol on Substrate to extend results of on-chain oracle aggregation and validation to Ethereum and other chains, through its decentralized bridge solution. Through this partnership, we aim to provide secure data sources through a non-cost-prohibitive manner, such as real-time price feeds for decentralized markets.

Plasm: We integrated with Plasm Network, a top tier candidate for an early parachain slot on Polkadot, to help plasm achieve its ambitious scaling solutions with our easy to use multi-chain oracle solutions. The partnership with Paralink will allow Plasm to receive real-time accurate data feeds for all dApps that are being built on the platform. This will help secure the infrastructure of the platform and improve its scalability.

Bondly: We integrated with Bondly, an interactive, interoperable, transparent, and portable swap protocol to allow bondly users to access on-chain price reference data and various other external data points to improve information quality for users of our products. As a result of this partnership, Paralink’s oracles will be optimized to play a key role in Bondly’s product offerings including BondSwap, Bondly’s DeFi enabled Over-the-Counter (OTC) product that allows easy peer-to-peer digital asset trades.
