The Weekly Dropz
October 7 - October 13, 2023
Hello friends,
Welcome back to another edition of the Weekly Dropz - your inside look into the ever-evolving world of DripDropz and Cardano.
We're now into October, and the leaves are starting to change colors here in the Northern Hemisphere. Like the seasons, the blockchain landscape is constantly shifting, with new ideas germinating and projects coming to fruition. Our goal with this newsletter is to keep you up to speed on the latest happenings and most meaningful discussions.
In this week's issue, we'll provide a brief update that DripDropz was successfully funded for two proposals in Project Catalyst's Fund 10 round. This demonstrates the continued faith in our mission from the Cardano community.
Of course, we'll also provide the most recent data and updates you need to stay informed. The blockchain sphere can feel complex at times, but our aim is to boil things down into digestible insights you can actually use.
If you find value in this newsletter, please consider subscribing and sharing it with your network. The more we collectively understand what's unfolding, the better equipped we are to navigate it. Knowledge is power!
So pull up a chair, grab your beverage of choice, and let's dive into the latest edition of the Weekly Dropz. Thanks for being part of this journey with us.
Onward!
