ENF Updates
The ENF Q1 2023 Quarterly Report details the year’s progress including:
Q1 Overview and message from the CEO
EOS EVM launch
partnerships (Messari, Binance, and other highlights)
development (Leap 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, and DUNE)
global event presence and growing media influence
financials and road map for Q2 and Q3
One cannot help but be impressed by the networking and impact the ENF has made just this year. Recent notable efforts include coordinating with Yield+, Zaisan, and Hong Kong. Yield+ released its monthly report. Zaisan is hosting an impact webinar to discuss EOS EVM (more info below). Hong Kong expects to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of web3. The April Everything EOS Monthly Report is out.
Consensus 2023
ENF CEO Yves La Rose gave insight into his travels in the quarterly report:
“As I travel to events around the world, the message is clear, the momentum is building, the mood is changing.” p.3
Read more about strategic efforts to raise awareness (p12) and growth strategies of the Antelope brand (p.21) in the report. Consensus 2023 made several inroads including:
GameFi: “Inside Web3 Gaming” (part 1) with Esports and Upland
revolutionizing social media with the BBS Network and Bancor
and more from representatives including HelloTelos and Alien Worlds
Part 2 of “Inside Web 3 Gaming” is scheduled for June. Dive deeper into Consensus 2023 by reading EOS Represents At Consensus 2023.
EOS EVM Updates
Innovating how dapps are built and the services offered is where EOS EVM will shine. The ENF tabs EOS EVM ‘the Ethereum enabler’. This means that Solidity (Ethereum) developers and other EVM networks gain access to “unmatched performance and scalability”. In terms of dapps in the news, Owlando and Neutroswap highlight GameFi and DeFi respectively. Owlando is both a UGC (user-generated content) game supported by the whole chain and a metaverse working with the Map Protocol for cross-chain applications. Neutroswap took second place on May 3 for weekly TVL increase. Learn about what open-sourcing the EOS EVM code means for web3 in a recent Fireside Chat clip with Yves. The foundation's CEO takes a firm stance on open-sourcing web3. Also, the ENF announced a May 8 EVM Hotfix (01, 02).
Zaisan Webinar to Discuss EOS EVM
It’s clear that the New EOS wants to show the world what it can do. From the recent quarterly report and Consensus 2023 to live chats, EOS EVM’s performance begs to be unleashed. Enter Zaisan and a refreshing webinar focused on leveraging innovation. The ENF’s Director of Development, Nathan James, will join team Zaisan and Matias Romeo to discuss:
real-world use cases
performance comparisons and unique features
how to start building
The May 18 webinar is entitled How to Supercharge Your Ethereum Dapps. EOS EVM is a breath of fresh air in a world overwhelmed by a stagnating Web2 and crypto networks that timidly test web3 waters.
IBC, BBS, Multichain, Hypha, Pomelo
BBS Network’s web3 social solution is gaining momentum. Like EOS, development appears rampant. Eyal Hertzog is the founder and CEO of BBS (and co-founder of Bancor). He talked about the BBS “operator model” and EOS that deliver users greater control over their data. Also, note a series of scheduled global debates. UX Network was among the first to implement IBC to connect to EOS. OCI has been a key partner (see 01, 02) in aiding the ENF’s redevelopment of the New EOS. OCI’s Phillip Mesnier dug into AntelopeIO’s IBC:
“...the nature of IBC, that it is mainly concerned with sharing blockchain consensus between paired chains by way of the bridge objects”
Multichain will launch a $100M ecosystem fund. What does that mean for EOS? The goal is to empower developers to build dapps that run seamlessly across multiple blockchains. EOS EVM is here and ready to lead seamless development. Hypha DAO hosts a Twitter Spaces event entitled The Rise of DAOs on EOS. Several project leaders including those from the ENF and dotGems are expected to attend. Pomelo added multiple matching pools following a successful Telos community vote.
WombatX
Web3 gets another boost from Wombat working with the ENF. The Wombat X Accelerator Program aims to:
empower web3 gaming mentorship
rapid user acquisition
infrastructure support
Other partners include Cronos, Avicenna, Lifty, Beamable, and Newcoin. Game studios and accelerator programs are invited to check out the WombatX app. Requirements, information about the founding partners, socials, and general questions, as well as preferred tokens, are listed on the app website. Visit the blog for details about what’s going on in Wombat in general.
Upland Submission Deadline
The submission deadline for the Upland Hackathon is about to close (on May 26). 2 million UPX and $10,000 USD are at stake. View a recent video where the ENF explores Upland’s vision. Past partnerships include:
NFL Players Association
UNICEF
FIFA
Those are big names, and there are many more. Imagine what’s to come out of a new wave of innovation and insight from the latest gathering of minds in the Upland Hackathon 2023. Also, note that Upland Developer Tools will be used, like:
user mapping
escrow service
read-only APIs
Presentations to finalists happen at the Sahara Casino and Resort, Las Vegas on June 9. That means even more attention for Upland (and EOS)!
Community Update
As EOS EVM ingrains itself into the community, discussions take flight about a more open, profound, and growing ecosystem. Media attention like Myra Wang representing ENF China on Binance Live and others mentioned above are now commonplace. Growth means EOS needs more leaders to distinguish themselves whether through EOS Respect, GenesisEden, and the Eden fractals or others like Fractal de la Lengua Hispana. GenesisEden calls all Level-1 Delegates and members to participate in restructuring. Daily calls and information via chat are as alive as ever. Both fractals maintain weekly meetings. EOS Support's new website will be available soon to offer unique features and opportunities. Remember, avoid scams by turning to the EOS Support team. 👇 more weekly resources for exciting news from around the community:
