“Thanks to the update, the staking page’s interface will be improved to allow users to select assets for staking. Users will also be able to instantly view staking conditions for each node, its payment history and profitability statistics and, if they are satisfied with the conditions, lease their WAVES to that node straight away,” the blog post reads.
The exchange also plans to add more fiat option to make it possible for citizens of various countries to buy WAVES, native token of Waves Blockchain, and algorithmic stablecoin Neutrino (USD-N) using their plastic cards.
