When will there finally be more listings on DEXs? Will PEN also be available on StellaSwap or BeamSwap?

Why is Pendulum spending money on events when the product isn’t ready?
- One key reason is at the core of Web3: community. As we navigate this crucial product-building phase, we’re committed to developing alongside our community. Engaging with our community is essential, and we embrace every opportunity to do so.
