It’s been a beautiful fall, and speaking of fall trends, we’re excited to debut our new Moonbags™—convenient fanny bags featuring a carefully carved logo on the front. With Token2049 crypto runway over and Permissionless on the horizon, be sure to grab your designer crypto merch, coming to a conference near you in the new year.
On September 30, we wrapped up Moonrise Points with over 9K participants and 130K quests completed. It was a close competition, so congrats to the top 100 winners! We’re crunching the numbers and will soon be airdropping GLMR, USDC, and commemorative NFTs from a world-renowned artist. A special shoutout to our partner Airlyft—we couldn’t have done it without you!
Here’s Everything That Happened Last Month:
Expansion Plans
Activated Validated Services (AVSs) aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the pinnacle of the re-staking security takeover. Moonbeam is excited to be expanding, and we want to hear from you! Read our latest forum post here.
Protocol Updates
Check out the small UX improvements on our project page. The Moonbeam ecosystem is thriving, with more and more projects being built on it. We’ve split them into categories and added extra tags so you can easily narrow down your search. Try it out and discover your next favorite project!
Double-clicking on RT3100, we update the chain every six weeks, abstracting layers and updating seamlessly. Moonbeam’s Head of Operations, Aaron Evans, shares more on this smooth process. Our latest upgrade to RT3100 went off without a hitch—most users didn’t even notice, which is exactly how it should be! Check out the sound bite here.
Welcome Diode
Diode isn’t just an alternative to centralized communication tools like Discord and Slack—it’s a Zero Trust Network (ZTN) with a built-in private VPN. Learn more about Diode here.
Rarible Drop #2
NFTs are back, and we’re excited to build our NFT collective, one open mint at a time. Our second Rarible drop featured native oil painters and tarot card healers. Yes, we have range! Check out the art here.
