The TGCm Weekly RunUp
July 12, 2023
Welcome back to ThinkGrowCryptoMedia! Your Cardano-biased, news media outlet for your blockchain-knowledge needs.
So, the CIP-1694 workshop in Edinburgh is off to a flying start, and it's not just the haggis that's hot! They've got a global melting pot of minds and a ton of brainpower from South America to Asia, dissecting the 50+ workshops attended by over a thousand people. Today, they're diving headfirst into the deep end, tackling the nitty-gritty such as identity, Dreps, and incentives.
What's really impressive is how the Cardano community has embraced the CIP process. It's a testament to the promising future of Cardano and a clear sign that this community is one of the most committed in the crypto world.
In other news, the concept of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Dystopia is becoming a reality. The code for Brazil's CBDC was recently released on GitHub, revealing features that allow for the freezing and moving of balances.
But don’t worry, there’s plenty of other news to keep our spirits up! Like the Total Value Locked (TVL) in the Cardano ecosystem reaching new heights! We agree wholeheartedly with Darren. :)
#Cardano TVL has soared to new heights, reflecting the growing confidence in the #Cardano ecosystem
