There’s so much news washing ashore on our Banks, we just had to put together a well-deserved update for all our fellow Bankers! So, buckle up and let’s get to it!

Listing

One of the most asked questions in our Telegram chat was: “When will The Grand Banks get listed?” The answer is: now! We have been actively pursuing both CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap to get this done for you and finally our labor bears fruit! Our very own $GRAND token is now listed on CoinGecko, which we celebrated with another #giveaway! We gave away $300 worth in $BNB to our Twitter followers, if they voted and posted proof of this alongside their BSC address. *If you don’t have Twitter, we recommend you to make an account, because the chances are quite likely that we will give away even more in the future.*

Unfortunately, we are still waiting to get listed by Coin Market Cap, which is only possible if we have 2500 token holders. We’re looking at several ways to speed this up. Because our token is so exclusive, we want to make sure our decision does not devaluate our platform and potentially harm our community. A random airdrop therefore does not have our preference.

Audit

Good news! Our friends over at Certik have reached out to us, profusely apologizing for the delay, but they are working on our audit as we speak, you can follow the progress made here. They have a big number of codes to go through, but were well impressed by that of our team. Expect some good news coming soon, about all your funds to be #SAFU. We have been operational with The Grand Banks since the 17th of April, 2021 and within these eight weeks we have shown that Yield Farming can be simple and safe. Spread the word wherever you can!

Partnerships

Well, in case you haven’t heard…¿how?…we have partnered up with our good friends over at ApeSwap.finance! Initially head ape Obie swung over to our chat as he was very excited about our platform. We bounced off a few ideas of of each other (some of which were absolutely bananas btw) and came to the following proposal:

· You can now buy $GRAND directly at ApeSwap! If you used our previous swap you will noticed not too many differences in functionality, only in appearance.

· Bankers and Monkeys are able to stake $GRAND-BNB to earn $BANANA on the ApeSwap platform.

· On The Grand Banks we have now have three new Apeswap liquidity pools listed to solidify this partnership for: $BNB-GRAND / $BUSD-BNB and $BNB-ETH which will auto compound and earn you $GRAND rewards!

This new partnership also brought along a few changes, that you might have notices while using the platform. When you click on the current Grand price, you will automatically be taken to the ApeSwap dex. Another change is that the old grand-bnb pool will continue to exist, but will be reduced from 10x to 2x. The new pool powered by ApeSwap gives you a 8x multiplier.

Monkey business

As if the fun stopped there…you have to remember that there is always more! Thanks to a community-led initiative to get the ball rolling, we now got some more monkey business going on. After partnering up with ApeSwap 🦧 it is only logical to get supported by ApeBoard.finance!

Ape Board is a Cross-chain DeFi Dashboard. You can simply input your address and Ape Board will track and show all your DeFi activities across multiple chains 🙊 How simple is that! Well, over at The Grand Banks we are all about simple so it was only logical to partner up with them as well. Built by apes, for apes. (We were particularly interested in the word “cross-chain”…)

Last but not least, some things you might have missed. As we are slowly taking over the world, we have opened up multiple Telegram channels in Japanese, French and Russian.

Our BSCscan profile has finally been updated! We’re waiting for it to reflect the current token value, but our logo and website are at least made visible!

We have an AMA coming up on the 16th of June with BSC Talks on Telegram. More info will be provided in our main chat, but there will be another #giveaway to commemorate this joyous occasion!

Anyway, that enough for now. We have dropped a few hints here and there about what is coming up next. Hopefully you can appreciate this update and feel free to let us know what more you would like to hear!
