September 2022

Summary

Planning, Building, and Prepping for Las Vegas public conference - cNFTcon.

September was another busy month, with the team growing and more emphasis being placed on analysis and design of the in-game economics.

Next month we have a number of demos planned and work is being carried out to polish them for the conference - see October roadmap.

At the start of September we achieved the 50m ₳ staked milestone in the COPI StakePool from over 4,000 delegates.
