HOOOLY S***T Sorry about my potty mouth — but, I just can't contain the excitement today.
Why? — because you are about to witness a MAJOR MILESTONE for Loom Network.
Not just Loom Network, but for blockchain technology as a whole.
Here's the deal: STAKING IS OFFICIALLY LIVE 🐣
This means... 1. You can now stake your LOOM tokens to help secure PlasmaChain! 😮
 Like I said: PlasmaChain staking for delegators is now officially LIVE.
Which means you can use your LOOM tokens to become a delegator and help validators secure PlasmaChain.
Here's the craziest part: Since staking was released, you all have ALREADY staked more than 6% of the total circulating supply.
That's over $2,000,000+ in value and growing!
💡 Plus, we just added Ledger support, and plan on adding support for staking via Trezor, Trust Wallet AND IMToken in the near future.
If you are asking yourself, "Why should I stake my LOOM tokens?" — you should head on over and…

By the way, if you need a refresher on why this is a HUGE deal, take a look at this while you are at it.
That's by far our BIGGEST announcement thus far in 2019.
Not only that... 2. Zombie Battleground Marketplace is now open for trading (in BETA)
 If you are interested in buying or selling your cards, you can now do so in the marketplace.
NOTE: this is still brand new and the cards you buy or sell might have their stats changed within the coming weeks.
So if you trade your cards today, realize that you're taking a bit of a risk — the cards may be rebalanced to be better (or worse) than what you see today.
So, unless you have an urge to frolic in danger, I'd wait for a while.
But if you're a man (or woman) of risk, then you should…
👉 Buy, sell, and trade cards on the marketplace (BETA)
Plus, just in case you missed the news — — So far we've onboarded 7 external validators to PlasmaChain mainnet, and we'll continue to add more in the very near future.
Other than that...
Those are all the MAJOR updates — specifically, STAKING is our biggest update lately 😉
I also have a couple of minor updates:
1. The SECOND CryptoWars tournament has started with $3,750 worth of prizes for winners. Go play!
2. Loom Network also sponsored an Axie Infinity tournament.
3. My Crypto Heroes (which is a game that runs on Loom) is the #1 most active DApp on Ethereum for the past 2 weeks.
What's new with you?
See ya again in two weeks! Until next time... Your friend,

P.S—By the way, have you heard of Jaron Lanier? He's excellent. If you are new to Jaron, take a look at this talk about how we need to remake the Internet. If you want to dive deeper, go read all of his books. Must-read for any technologist.
