Kyber Network Sets Date for Launch of Katalyst Protocol Upgrade
On-chain liquidity protocol Kyber announced on June 29 that a major upgrade of Katalyst protocol will go live on July 7, 2020. The upgrade includes changes to the Kyber Network Crystal (KNC) token model to attract more participants to the development of the protocol.
Speaking with Cointelegraph, Loi Luu, CEO of Kyber Network, said, “Katalyst will harmonize our efforts towards providing a single on-chain liquidity endpoint for all takers and makers, and establish a long term virtuous loop where the success of the DeFi space, growth of the Kyber ecosystem, and value creation for KNC holders go hand in hand.” Luu added, “The Katalyst upgrade and KyberDAO support three key groups of Kyber stakeholders: reserves who provide liquidity to Kyber, DApps who connect takers to the Kyber protocol, and KNC holders who form the heart of the network.”.
