We're in the process of talking to Ascendex about this issue as we speak. There has been some confusion between our market market and Ascendex in regards to trading spreads and we're waiting for both parties to be able to speak about it. We'll provide an update as soon as possible.
Trading and staking of KEX are available on Ascendex. Please let us know if there are any issues.

KIRA has a unique and innovative Governance Model that aims to continuously improve its efficiency and decentralisation, independent of wealth and stake distribution.
In order for an individual to become a validator, they must first be accepted by the current network validators in order to prevent fraudulent activities and bad actors.
On top of this, by allowing the network to be governed by a syndicate of validators the scalability of the network itself is guaranteed, while eliminating the need to worry about what occurs on-chain.
Learn more about our Governance Model below: https://blog.kira.network/kira-governance-model-4ef09e067386

Our CEO @milanavalmont discusses the differences between PoW and PoS systems in the context of the Ethereum Merge.
Crucially, she highlights the weaknesses that remain in a PoS system, namely that the system favors early adopters who may have gotten a big bag of native tokens for cheap, and being dependent on a “stake-as-trust” system could have protocol-breaking implications in a cross-chain ecosystem. She then explains how KIRA's innovative Multi-Bonded-Proof-of-Stake solves such issues.
