Q4 Has Been Xend Finance's Busiest Quarter Yet!
From The Launch Of The Industry's First High Yield Aggregator, To Our Groundbreaking Mobile App, To Month Two Of Africa's Largest Hackathon, We've Got A Lot To Update You On...
It seems like a distant memory that we had our mainnet launch at the end of Q1 this year (March 22, 2021, to be exact). Fast forward to the last month of Q4 and it’s a bit of a whirlwind when you put down in writing all we have accomplished since then. Like the classic saying, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, we believe in the practice of patience as well – but that doesn’t mean we won’t TRY do it all in a day! 😉
For updates, you can always go to our homepage (https://xend.finance/) to take a glance at our progress on our product roadmap.
The FIRST High Yield Aggregator Across Multiple Blockchains Is HERE!!!
At Xend Finance we have always strived to provide a seamless experience for DeFi and cryptocurrency savings and investing options. We know that in order to achieve massive adoption and scale, that the industry needs to be less intimidating and as easy to use and understand as possible. For many of our users, this is their first foray into cryptocurrency and we have a responsibility to ensure trust.
Navigating across various blockchains can be complicated, so we have launched the first cross-chain high yield aggregator, so that yield farmers, investors, and savers, no longer need to transfer cryptocurrency across different blockchains in search of the highest yields. You can find it all from the comfort of your Xend Finance dashboard!
This is a FIRST in the industry and we are proud of the team for getting this out so quickly! Read more about it here.

Want to convert your local currency to a stable cryptocurrency from your phone? Yes, you can do that. Want to earn 15% APYs (Annual Percentage Yields) on that cryptocurrency? Yes, you can do that.

Xend Launchpad Debuts To Give African Entrepreneurs Increased Investment Opportunities And Exposure
As one of Africa’s most prominent blockchain companies, we have a responsibility to help others that come after us. African companies traditionally have a more difficult time accessing resources and gaining the attention of institutional investors, even though the African market presents the largest opportunity for blockchain technology.
On top of that, by staking and holding $XEND tokens, everyone can gain early access to the same top projects that are normally only available to top venture capitalists.
The first project who’s made it through our rigorous vetting process will be announced soon! Learn more about Xend Launchpad here:
