❄️ Welcome to the January 23rd Ecosystem Updates! ❄️ — — — — — — — — — — sora.org/plan Like Jason Vorhees striking in the night, on Friday the 13th a newly proposed token, $TBCD was announced to the SORA community. In the Medium article, we mentioned the main details of the proposed algorithmic, non-synthetic stablecoin, whose value is maintained by the SORA token bonding curve ✨ $TBCD is to be worth slightly under $1 when the price of $XOR is lower than the TBC price point, and at the same time, it will help build up the reserves of the TBC, as well as replace XST as the token being minted to fund project development and the creation of goods and services in the SORA economy 🌐 Stay tuned for the referendum that will add TBCD to the SORA network tokens! ❤️‍🔥

At the beginning when we mentioned Polkaswap’s holiday release, our amazing community tried out all the features that were introduced and provided great feedback to help improve the Polkaswap experience, and cement it as clearly the best DEX in Dotsama. It’s not possible to talk about Polkaswap without addressing the elephant in the room, SORA Card 💳 The most-asked question last year (and the first week of this one) was “wen SORA Card.” Understandably, the holiday season was slow-moving in terms of development, however, a new year has begun and with spirits refreshed, SORA Card integration testing is happening on Polkaswap and SORA Wallet (iOS & Android). Testing by all contributors will take the rest of the month (January) so tentative sign-ups are forecasted for early February. This will be released along with SORA Wallet’s new UI/UX design (drops mic) 🎤

Fearless Wallet’s goal is to expand access to #DeFi by providing a simple and intuitive, yet powerful user experience. The Fearless Wallet browser extension takes this goal a step further and seeks to help onboard users into the Dotsama ecosystem with an attractive and easy user experience, simple to learn for new users, yet robust and resourceful for experienced users, builders, and degens alike. 💫 If you’re interested, you can try out the Fearless Wallet browser extension ßeta version from the Chrome Web Store and provide all your comments and feedback to the team using the handy Fearless Support Bot! 🤖
