October 2022

Summary

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

October was an incredible month for Infinity Rising, 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 Infinity Rising 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 RISE StakePool from over 4600 delegates.

The RISE Stakepool produced over 200 blocks in October !

BUSINESS

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

A HUGE MILESTONE FOR Infinity Rising AND CARDANO
