1. Reduction in Service Fee Rate
Effective from 00:00 UTC on February 9, 2026, the service fee rate for cross-chain withdrawals via Wormhole will be reduced from 0.7% to 0.6%. This change is designed to lower cross-chain costs for users and improve asset transfer efficiency.

2. Initiation of Limited Capacity Testing Phase
To ensure the absolute reliability and long-term stability of the cross-chain service, we will enter a “Limited Capacity Testing Phase”. During this phase:

• Testing Rule: A temporary limit of no more than 100 USD per transaction will be applied to transfers from the USD@Openverse chain to the USDT@BSC chain.

• Service Guarantee: Within this limit, we will dedicate additional resources to ensure the successful execution of every cross-chain transfer and provide a reliability commitment for these transactions. Data collected during this phase will provide crucial support for ultimately lifting the limit and fully opening the service.

3. Priority Access
To thank and incentivize steadfast supporters of the Openverse ecosystem, this adjustment will implement a “Staker Priority” principle:

• Priority Group: All users who have staked BTG will receive priority access to the cross-chain service following this adjustment.

• Benefit: When the system processes cross-chain requests, transactions from staking users will be given higher priority in the queue, resulting in a more stable and faster cross-chain experience.

This adjustment is a key step toward a more efficient and robust cross-chain service. We appreciate the community’s understanding and support and will continue to optimize the service based on test data and feedback. Please stay tuned for official announcements regarding the conclusion of the testing phase and the lifting of transaction limits.

Sincerely,
The Openverse Team

“Due to the overall market environment, we need to wait for a more suitable time to fully open trading.”

At the beginning of 2026, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant fluctuations, leading to a severe liquidity freeze across the industry. The fully open trading plan that the Openverse team had previously prepared must unfortunately be postponed once again. This sudden shift in the broader market is an external and objective factor. If the team were to forcibly open trading or fully activate cross-chain bridges at this time, it would likely drive BTG to unimaginably low prices, ultimately undermining the hopes of all BTG holders and draining vitality from the Openverse ecosystem.

This delay is not due to technical issues, nor is it indefinite. The Openverse team will monitor the situation month by month, seeking the right opportunity to complete the previously outlined work: enabling native BTG trading, achieving full interoperability for multi-chain BTG and USD, and distributing airdrops ahead of full trading.

BTG@BSC is already listed on over 10 leading and well-known exchanges, including Binance, GATE, Kucoin, and Mexc, where users can trade freely. With BTG currently at a relatively low price, holders who are in a position to do so may consider acquiring more BTG@BSC on the secondary market. You are also encouraged to explore VRC10 USD minting or participate in Staking mining.

Openverse is a long-term project, and the period from 2026 to 2027 represents the most critical phase for its ecosystem development. We invite all builders to join in the project’s growth. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

#Openverse Global #BTG

This reflects the unprecedented global attention and recognition bestowed upon the Openverse project and BTG token. As world-renowned digital asset trading platforms, KuCoin and Gate have injected robust liquidity and global influence into BTG, successfully drawing a massive influx of new users who have already started building their positions.

The rapid expansion of our user base not only serves as direct proof of market confidence, but also endows the Openverse ecosystem with vibrant vitality and a broader community foundation. This signals that network participation, potential application user base, and overall value consensus are all on the verge of reaching new heights.

A warm welcome to all our new holders, and we extend our deepest gratitude to the community members who have firmly stood by us all along. It is your collective trust that has fueled this extraordinary growth.

• Active staking has reached 58.5M BTG, out of a total target of 112.6M BTG

• Total Value Locked (TVL) has exceeded $358.16 million 

• The current staking ratio stands at a steady 51.92%

• Each node holds an average of 0.78M BTG, indicating a healthy and balanced node distribution

These figures not only reflect the community’s firm confidence in the long-term value of Openverse but also mark continuous improvements in network security, stability, and decentralization.

We sincerely thank every node operator and BTG holder participating in staking! It is through your collective efforts and commitment that the Openverse ecosystem continues to strengthen and progress steadily.

Moving forward, we will keep pushing for technological upgrades and ecosystem expansion, working hand-in-hand with the community toward even greater growth!

The markets are stirring again! After months of sideways movement, we’re seeing early signs of a rebound. But the big question remains: Is this just a temporary bounce, or the true beginning of a full bull market cycle? 

Price action tells one story, but the real clues lie beneath the surface – in shifting capital flows, evolving market structures, and sectors transitioning from hype to tangible results.

That’s why we’re excited to invite you to our upcoming SunFlash Roundtable Space AMA, where we’ll dive deep into the forces shaping this critical moment:

 Key Discussion Points:

• From Narrative to Reality: Which sectors are actually delivering, and which are still just promising?

• Capital in Motion: Where is smart money flowing? Is it rotating or concentrating?

• The Final Puzzle Piece: What’s still missing to unlock a sustained bull market – liquidity, broader consensus, or a shift in market culture?   

Date & Time:

January 8, 2025, at 2 PM UTC
(Convert to your local time zone to make sure you don’t miss it!)

This isn’t just another AMA – it’s a strategic deep dive into the “why” and “what’s next” of today’s market dynamics. Whether you’re a trader, a builder, or a long-term holder, this discussion will offer clarity and perspective for the road ahead.

Save the date, set a reminder, and come with your questions! Let’s explore together how Openverse fits into – and helps shape – this evolving landscape.

We can’t wait to see you there!
The Openverse Team
