xSigma's team is working on getting the software ready before it finally goes live on the BSC network, focusing on security.

These days, security is proving to be a major problem for many Apps, while xSigma decided to take additional steps to ensure user safety before its releases any updates.

xSigma DEX will be launching on BSC soon. xSigma is attempting to provide one of the most secure ways to earn interest to stablecoins on Binance Smart Chain, with minimal risk and no impermanent loss. The launch will be accompanied by a marketing campaign, and special incentives will be offered to early LPs on the BSC. xSigma DEX's website can be found at: https://xsigma.fi
