INTRODUCTION

Welcome everyone to the very first InvArch Weekly Wednesday… NOT in VR!

This is a rather very special project update we are delivering to you all InvArchitects out there. For the very first time, we recorded this Weekly Wednesday IRL (in real life) during our trip to Austin, Texas!

Without further ado, let’s get into it!

TECHNOLOGY

Announcing the Tinkernet Crowdloan Details

Within a few hours, will be releasing an article containing the full details on our Tinkernet crowdloan! We know that everyone has been waiting for this. We are excited to share our plans, the slot that we will be pursuing, important dates, and much more.

Vote to Influence Tinkernet’s $KSM Hard Cap

Just today, a new Twitter Poll was released for the community to vote on the final $KSM hard cap that the Tinkernet Parachain seeks to raise during our crowdloan campaign.

To submit your vote, head over to the Twitter Poll here.

COMMUNITY

InvArch is in Austin, Texas!
If you have been keeping up with us through our InvArch Twitter Account (@InvArchNetwork), you’ll see that 5 members of the team are here in Austin, Texas, for DCentral Austin and Consensus 2022 by CoinDesk!

This is the first time that members of the InvArch team have met in real life! Some of you may already know that we have such a diverse team–members from the United States 🇺🇸, Canada 🇨🇦, Brazil 🇧🇷, Indonesia 🇮🇩, Ukraine 🇺🇦, Russia 🇷🇺, and Lithuania 🇱🇹. (Of the five members here in Austin, Texas: United States: 2, Canada: 1, Brazil: 1 , Lithuania: 1.)

It was an awesome time during DCentral Austin, meeting other fellow #BUIDLers and Parachains in the Dotsama ecosystem (i.e., KILT Protocol, OAK Network, Composable Finance), as well as other projects and great minds from other ecosystems, not to mention listening to some amazing talks from leaders in the Web3 space. We can confirm that there is a truly strong Polkadot presence here in Austin, Texas.

Dakota Speaks on a DCentral Austin Panel

On the second day (June 8th, 2022) of the DCentral Austin festival, InvArch’s Founder, Dakota Barnett spoke on a panel on the main stage titled, “Interoperability: Connecting the Chains.”

If you missed Dakota live during this panel, don’t fret! There is a recording available for you to watch at any time, anywhere, on YouTube! (Huge shout out to Darwinia’s Dustin Lee for uploading this recording!)

Thank you for tuning in, and we’ll see you back in VR next week!
