❤️‍🔥 Welcome to the November 5th Ecosystem Updates! ❤️‍🔥 sora.org/plan — Beleza? For those who aren’t versed in Portuguese, it means “what’s going on with your life?” which is very fitting since some of the SORA contributors, including Dr. Makoto Takemiya, were at WebSummit Lisbon to share information about SORA Card and the SORA network itself with the over 70k attendees of this year’s event! If you are in Lisbon for the summit, we hope you managed to say hello at the SORAMITSU booth, in the Japan Pavilion, or stopped by and listened to a presentation prepared by the SORA community at the Polkadot booth. In other updates this fortnight, the Kusama parachain bridge is still a work in progress, testing is ongoing on both the Kusama and SORA test environments and soon it will be deployed on the actual parachain and mainnet! We are drawing ever closer to connecting the Kusama network to SORA and we thank you for supporting this exciting journey. ✨

CERES Updates The SORA Builders Programme first alumni Ceres are expanding their reach across chains within the Polkadot ecosystem to the Astar network. We look forward to their future developments! The XOR-XST pool for farming the XST token is available on Demeter, for now XOR-DAI, and XOR-ETH pools are still available as well, so you can provide liquidity and farm XST * Not financial advice, so do your own research! The Demeter Farming platform is available on the SORA network for users to farm with liquidity pool LP or single-sided staking, with interesting APR*. New pools are constantly added, too. Demeter farming is directly integrated into Polkaswap, for convenience. For more information, read this Medium article on the Demeter platform. *Not financial advice, always do your own research.
