The Persistence One team is proud to announce a pivotal step in the evolution of XPRT — expanding its footprint beyond the Cosmos ecosystem and introducing XPRT to Base, a rapidly growing Ethereum Layer 2 chain. This marks the beginning of a strategic move toward making XPRT a multi-chain asset, with enhanced liquidity, broader distribution, and greater accessibility for users worldwide.
At the core of this initiative is a simple truth: sustainable growth depends on robust, diversified liquidity. By launching a XPRT/USDC liquidity pool on Aerodrome Finance, Base’s leading decentralized exchange, we’re laying the foundation for deeper market integration and long-term value creation.
Why Going Multi-Chain Matters for XPRT
Liquidity isn’t just about trading volume — it's about accessibility, stability, and ecosystem resilience. Historically, XPRT liquidity has been concentrated within the Cosmos ecosystem, primarily across platforms like Dexter, Osmosis, and ShadeSwap. While these platforms have served the community well, with approximately $625K in total liquidity spread across them, relying solely on one ecosystem limits exposure and scalability.
To grow sustainably, XPRT needs to be where users are — and today, that means being present across multiple high-performance blockchains.
A multi-chain presence enables:
- Greater user reach across diverse DeFi communities
- Improved price stability through arbitrage opportunities
- Higher trading volume driven by new market participants
- Enhanced token utility as XPRT integrates into new protocols
This expansion follows strong community support. A recent discussion on the Persistence community forum revealed overwhelming interest in making XPRT multi-chain, with Base emerging as a top candidate due to its rapid adoption and institutional backing.

Why Base? The Strategic Choice for Expansion
Among the many emerging chains, Base stands out as a uniquely compelling environment for growth. Developed by Coinbase, one of the world’s largest and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges, Base offers developers and projects access to a massive user base, seamless onboarding tools, and low transaction costs.
Since its mainnet launch in August 2023, Base has achieved remarkable traction:
- Over $1.75 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL)
- More than 300,000 daily active users
- Rapidly expanding DeFi and NFT ecosystems
This explosive growth is fueled by Coinbase’s vision to bring crypto to the mainstream — a vision that aligns closely with Persistence One’s mission to make Bitcoin and Liquid Staked Tokens (LSTs) more accessible through efficient DeFi solutions.
By launching on Base, XPRT gains immediate exposure to a vibrant, active community already engaged in yield farming, liquidity provision, and decentralized trading.
Launching the XPRT/USDC Pool on Aerodrome Finance
To initiate this expansion, Persistence One is launching a XPRT/USDC liquidity pool on Aerodrome Finance, the largest decentralized exchange on Base with over $722 million in liquidity. Aerodrome’s proven security model, deep liquidity, and community-driven incentives make it the ideal platform to bootstrap XPRT’s presence on Base.
How to Participate
Users can now:
- Bridge XPRT from Cosmos to Base using trusted cross-chain bridges like Squid Router (powered by Axelar) or IBC.fun
- Add liquidity to the XPRT/USDC pool on Aerodrome
- Earn trading fees and incentive rewards
Comprehensive step-by-step guides are available to assist both new and experienced users:
These resources ensure a smooth onboarding experience, lowering barriers for participation.
Incentivizing Liquidity Providers: Fueling Early Growth
To encourage early participation and ensure sufficient depth in the XPRT/USDC pool, Persistence One is launching a liquidity bootstrapping program.
Starting in June 2024, 25,000 XPRT will be allocated from the Persistence Incentivization Multisig to reward liquidity providers on Aerodrome. These incentives will be distributed weekly via AERO emissions, following Aerodrome’s v(3,3) model, which rewards loyal and committed liquidity providers.
We are committed to sustaining these incentives into the future, ensuring long-term growth and stability for the XPRT pool.
This strategy creates a positive feedback loop:
Arbitrage → Increased Volume → Higher Fees → Stronger Liquidity → More Users → Repeat
By reinforcing each stage of this cycle, we aim to build self-sustaining liquidity that can thrive independently over time.
What’s Next? A Roadmap Beyond Base
The integration with Base is just the beginning. Our long-term vision includes expanding XPRT to other high-activity chains such as TON and Blast, further diversifying its presence and unlocking new use cases.
Each new chain integration will follow a similar pattern:
- Strategic selection based on user activity and ecosystem strength
- Partnership with leading DEXs and infrastructure providers
- Community-focused incentives to drive adoption
Our goal is clear: make XPRT a truly interoperable asset that powers decentralized finance across ecosystems.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is Persistence One expanding XPRT to multiple chains?
Expanding XPRT to multiple chains increases its accessibility, improves liquidity distribution, and exposes it to new user bases. This diversification strengthens the token’s resilience and utility across DeFi ecosystems.
How can I bridge XPRT from Cosmos to Base?
You can use cross-chain protocols like Squid Router or IBC.fun to securely transfer XPRT from Cosmos to Base. Step-by-step guides are available on the Persistence blog.
Where can I provide liquidity for XPRT on Base?
The primary venue for XPRT liquidity on Base is Aerodrome Finance, where the new XPRT/USDC pool is now live.
Are there rewards for providing XPRT liquidity?
Yes. Persistence One is incentivizing early liquidity providers with 25,000 XPRT in rewards starting June 2024, distributed weekly through Aerodrome’s incentive system.
Will XPRT on Base be fully backed by native XPRT?
Yes. All XPRT bridged to Base is securely linked to the original supply via trusted cross-chain bridge protocols, ensuring full backing and transparency.
What are the future plans after Base?
Following Base, we plan to expand XPRT to other high-growth chains like TON and Blast, continuing our mission of multi-chain interoperability.
