|
| April has seen the Centrality team working hard on the Scotch Bonnet phase of our Tech Roadmap, focusing on stabilising the core components of CENNZnet network, Doughnut permissions V1.0 and more, and we look forward to sharing some exciting news with you soon! | |
| We keep working from home and every day is (very) casual Friday. So, this month we decided to get fancy and introduced Formal Fridays to the team: | |
|
|
|
| We see the recent changes to the global working situation as an opportunity to include more people in remote-first work. As a public blockchain, CENNZnet's mission is to give the community ownership and decision-making capability for how the platform will develop. | |
| Until now, we've been quietly engaging open-source communities, but we're ready to push it out further to help remote workers by making these opportunities publicly available through an experiment we're launching: CENNZnet Grants DAO 💙🌿 | |
|
| We see this as a step towards harnessing the creativity and ambition of people from all over the world who want to be a part of the CENNZnet ecosystem. | |
| Centrality will be funding a community-driven decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) using DAOstack 's Alchemy platform, with an initial USD10,000 in Dai for a period of 2–3 months to fund proposals related to the CENNZnet ecosystem. | |
| Learn about the available opportunities and how to get involved from our recent blog. | |

| At the Centrality Rust Meetup on May 4th Sigma Prime showcased how they're leveraging Rust to make Ethereum 2.0 client fast and secure. We've also showed you how to add WASM support to a native application (GameDev Edition). Stay tuned for the event video recording and join us at the next Rust meetup. | |

Digital Asset Perspectives Series | |
| I was honoured to join Digital Asset Perspectives Series alongside some incredible blockchain influencers including Charles Hoskinson, Kyle Samani, Robert Wescott, Brock Pierce, Michael Arrington and more. We discussed the investor perspectives on crypto during the coronavirus, and the path to non-sovereign money during global economic disruption and unlimited QE.
We've also seen great progress and new partnerships from our ventures this month:

Sylo got 10,000 new users in a single day | |
| As April comes to a close, the Sylo Smart Wallet is experiencing some fantastic growth. In fact, this past weekend the team experienced the largest viral pocket ever, with more than 10,000 new users coming on board within a single day. As we have always said users drive long term value and with SYLO adding the equivalent of 3 times the highest ETH DApp daily active users in just one day this is a great signal we are on the right track. | |

| With fewer people commuting, and travel restrictions, the unexpected beneficiary from COVID-19 is the planet. The world has a chance to reset and CarbonClick has been busier than ever. This month has seen us grow our customer base in New Zealand significantly. We have almost reached 100 new business customers with our Shopify plug-in installed, we've had over 100 tonnes of offsets. | |
| This means we launched our plug-in in both Australia and the USA. This means if you have a Shopify site and are based in either New Zealand, Australia or America, you can install CarbonClick and enable offsetting to your customers. One of our customers, 3sixty2 Wines, is shaking up the game for sustainable wine production.3sixty2 are the first New Zealand wine producer to enable carbon offsets to customers, and this accomplishment landed us a feature in NZ Wine alongside 3sixty2. Check out the full article here. | |
| Finally, our Chief Product Officer, Jan Czaplicki, spoke on the kiwi podcast, This Climate Business, to talk about CarbonClick. Have a listen! | |
We hope you are all safe and well during these times as we continue to work and to win! | |
