Safemoon is due to launch its mysterious ‘Project Phoenix,’ about which the team hasn’t revealed much, along with its own ‘game-changing’ exchange and blockchain. Safemoon certainly has a supportive community, and the recent gains in price might be one of the reasons Safemoon is among the trending currencies of this week.
