The Sunday of Summer is upon us, and as everyone suits up for a deserved beachy holiday, let’s look back at what Public Mint was up to this last month.

Public Mint EARN back on track

After a month-long hiatus, the EARN Program is just about ready to resume standard operations. It will be reactivated with the launch of the Public Mint’s mobile application newest build.

There will be some caveats, though, that only apply to the funds directly affected by the Celsius situation. All assets assigned to Celsius are now, for all intents and purposes, frozen. They are not locked, nor lost — they are temporarily inaccessible, so they cannot be withdrawn or moved and are not bearing yield. From the moment the company’s collapse was made public, we have not allocated any more funds to Celsius, and have ceased our collaboration with them. All other funds allocated to Public Mint EARN will be fully available.

The latest version of the app is currently undergoing the last steps for validation from Google Play and the Apple App Store, and should be available by the beginning of next week.

USDC from other chains

In an effort to expand Public Mint’s connectivity and facilitate network access (as well as aiming to bypass rocketing ETH fees), Public Mint supports Circle’s USDC to and from several different networks.

Here’s the full list of stablecoin blockchains supported by Public Mint (new additions in bold):

Ethereum (ETH)
Algorand (ALGO)
Avalanche (AVAX)
Solana (SOL)
TRON (TRX)
Stellar (XLM)

The long-term goal is to open up rails for even more stablecoins and networks, and the groundwork for this to happen is already happening. More on this subject as soon as we have new developments.

Public Mint as a crypto ramp

Here’s a thought provoking proposition: Public Mint is the perfect ramp in and out of the cryptoverse.

Why? Well, in a nutshell, a fully compliant, safety driven, fiat-native blockchain lends itself perfectly to fulfilling the role of crypto gatekeeper.
