Sponge V1 to V2 Bridge – Stake to Bridge

New Buyers: If users don't hold any tokens, they can buy $SPONGE via the homepage widget. Purchased tokens will automatically be staked in our V2 smart contract to secure a share of the V2 token once it launches. Staked V1 tokens will accrue V2 tokens until the moment the new Sponge V2 token launches.
