October 2022

Summary

Delivery, public meet-ups, networking, Las Vegas​ + Denver public conference - cNFTcon & Web3Expo and RareBloom

October was an incredible month for Cornucopias, with 11 of the team attending the first ever live annual cNFTcon event in Las Vegas and the 4 founders attending the Web3Expo (Las Vegas) and RareBloom (Denver, Colorado).

Showing off 2 playable, multi-player demos in Las Vegas was a "coming-of-age" for Cornucopias during the 12 days in America with the highlight being the CEO of IOG Charles Hoskinson playing the racing game demo - foreshadowing the launch of the first eSports platform on Cardano in early 2023.

See October roadmap for more information on what we've been up to.

At the start of October we achieved the 58m ₳ staked milestone in the COPI StakePool from over 4600 delegates.

The COPI Stakepool produced over 200 blocks in October !

BUSINESS

Finally on 31st October 2022 the Binance ↔ Cardano bridge (developed by ChainPort + Cornucopias) went live, allowing the $COPI token (and any other Cardano Native token) to be bridged between Cardano & Binance.

A HUGE MILESTONE FOR CORNUCOPIAS AND CARDANO

We continue to look at growing the team and building the UE5 Metaverse Game.

Rob announced we are creating a new UE5 Mobile game on a YouTube interview with dApp Central.
