Hello Secret Community!

Secret Surge extra rewards are LIVE
Secret DeFi is on the rise, and we decided to give it a little boost! That’s why we introduced Secret Surge, a massive DeFi incentive campaign bringing up to $4,000,000 in liquidity provider incentives to Secret DEXs.
This program allows us to support the growth of new applications and helps ignite Secret’s private DeFi ecosystem. Users can earn Secret Surge rewards by providing liquidity on one of four Secret DEXs: ShadeSwap, Blizzard.Finance, Sienna Network, and SecretSwap 2.0.
Secret Surge will run for six months, during which rewards we’ll distribute rewards. During the first three months, you’ll receive double LP rewards! And getting started is super easy!
There are multiple ways of bridging assets to Secret Network to provide liquidity to these pools. If your assets are currently on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Axelar, the Secret Tunnel bridge can bring them over to Secret. Read more about Secret Tunnel here, or check out this tutorial:
Help us unleash the power of private DeFi and start surging today!

HackSecret Kicks Off
Last month we announced HackSecret, Secret’s first online hackathon with a $50,000 prize pool! We’ve eagerly anticipated HackSecret’s kickoff, and it’s been a huge success, with multiple teams learning how to build on Secret Network!
The hackathon started on April 17 and is running through May 19. The goal? Creating privacy infrastructure for DeFi that you can ONLY build on Secret Network.
To accomplish this mission, the Secret Agency is leading many informative workshops that give developers the tools they need to start building – with privacy.

Houdini Adds SCRT
Privacy is the name of the game at Secret Network, but we’re not the only ones working to solve Web3 privacy. You can now cross-chain swap $SCRT on Houdiniswap!
Houdini Swap is a privacy tool that allows you to anonymize crypto transactions. Users can simply and securely send, swap, or bridge tokens without revealing their private wallets.
