3 min readMay 3, 2021

🚀 The long-awaited Minter 2 upgrade arrived, but that’s just the beginning! Trading volumes across liquidity pools have already reached millions of dollars, even despite that a bridge to Ethereum is still being tested and HUB remains the only coin mirrored. Very soon, the Minter Hub blockchain will make it possible to bring other coins and tokens from Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain to Minter. You’ll no more need to wait for more than 5 seconds and pay more than $0.01 for transfers!
