Why is VRA token up?

The VRA token seems to be rallying on the back of the news of extending its staking program till 2023. Announcing the development on its Twitter platform, the Verasity protocol said that till 2023, the protocol would offer to stake at a rate of 18.25 per cent per annum. This would mean a reward of 0.05 per cent per day and would be applicable from 1 April 2022.

The minimum amount of VRA to be staked is still 10,000 VRA tokens, and the rest of the staking terms remain the same. Besides, another unchanged factor is the minimum withdrawal limit from the VeraWallet, which still is placed at 5,000 VRA.
