February 2023
HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY
First Deliverable of 2023!
On 10th February 2023 we launched our new look website and spoke about it in COPICafe Episode 41.
The website is more than a re-skin - it has a new backend framework that will enable new functionality for future services.
Similar to January, February started with another new team member - a very talented animator working on in-vehicle animations for the upcoming Racing League.
At the start of February 2023, the COPI StakePool was reduced from 45m ₳ to 39m ₳ as we hit what may be the bottom of the bear market.
The number of delegates remains strong at nearly 5,000 Cardano addresses.
We are always very grateful to everyone who supports us by delegating to the Cornucopias Cardano StakePool ticker: COPI
Josh and Rob were joined on Episode 42 of COPICafe by Joshua Noriega, the host of YouTube channel Late Game Crypto, who recently did an amazing review of Cornucopias.
