Community Update July 12: Work Hard, Play Hard

Happy Friday, everyone!

In life, it’s all about maintaining a healthy balance between working hard and playing hard. Yet in our case, it’s been a little more of the former than the latter.

You see, the preceding and forthcoming weeks and months is all about fortifying our pillars.

And at the very foundation of everything we are building is the Ethernity Chain. I won’t reiterate what’s so special about this upcoming Layer 2 solution, since I’ve already discussed that here.

But I do want to talk about the hard work we’re currently doing to ensure that these pillars are strong enough to hold up our roof.

WORK HARD:

1️⃣ Testnet

Our testnet program is undergoing continued stress testing, as we have added members to the Ethernity Beta Testing groups (end users and developers) to help us identify areas where we can make improvements. And if you also want to be a beta tester, all you have to do is join the waitlist. Join by tapping the top banner on our website.

2️⃣ Incentivizing Builders

Our team is working behind the scenes and developing the grants application process, where an array of projects can apply to be part of the Ethernity Chain ecosystem and build with us. While this program is still being worked out, expect to hear more about this soon. If you join the beta tester waitlist, you will be among the first to know about what we are looking for and how to apply.

3️⃣ DRM

Our Digital Rights Management (DRM) system has undergone several successful rounds of to help prevent fraud by identifying authentic collections and other digital assets—something that our entertainment partners have expressed concern about. This is an important part of building out Ethernity Chain as a hub for the entertainment industry.

PLAY HARD

4️⃣ EuroCup & Copa tournaments

To keep things fun and interesting while we continue building in the background, we’ve been holding tournaments for football fans. The final games are this Sunday, July 14 and winners of the ERNarmy Copa ’24 & Copa ’24 tournaments will win significant prizes, including enough $ERN to take you on a trip to your favorite destination, if that’s what you choose to do with it. Check out the details here.

5️⃣ Are you not entertained?

If our football tournaments aren’t enough to keep you entertained while we build out our suite of products, remember that a new week of our Farmer’s Market starts every single week. The only way to participate is by staking your $ERN for Stones, which can then be used to bid for prizes in auctions or spend on Mystery Boxes. Check it out here

That’s all for this update, enjoy your weekend!
