Weekly Digest
🇮🇳 Arweave India Demo Day hits high marks
Arweave India Demo Day landed on May 28th and showcased the top 4 projects coming out of the Arweave India ecosystem.
These are pretty big projects, and if you haven't heard of them you should definitely check them out. The projects include:
- BetterIDEA - an IDE for AO
- 0rbit - A decentralized oracle network
- Liteseed - A new DePIN bundling network for Arweave
- Clickoor - A camera with built in uploads to Arweave
All spawned out of the Arweave India Hacker House.
🐇🕳️ Bitcoin Tokenomics? No, AO Tokenomics
No pre-mine or pre-sale?
21 million max supply?
Halving every 4 years?
Sound familiar?
AO Computer has opted for a very different approach to tokenomics compared to a lot of new blockchains. There are no tokens minted and sold to VCs before the public - it's a 100% fair launch.
Likely users will benefit the most as tokens will be distributed by bridging to AO or holding $AR, as well as taking part in community initiatives.
NFA - but if you're early into AO, this could be huge.
ArConnect hits 40k users
ArConnect, a browser wallet for Arweave, has surpassed 40,000 downloads on Chrome.
This is a pretty big increase from recent numbers, so great news for Arweave adoption!
This also doesn't include downloads from other browsers, or other Arweave wallets like Arweave.app.
