A Marketing Organization Framework document has been created by the brand leads and the marketing cell. This was inspired by recent community discussions. The purpose of the document is to set out the path for the expansion and scaling of Blocknet marketing efforts by utilizing the talent and passion within the community. Check out the framework document here. You can either leave your feedback in the discord projects-general channel or anonymously via a google form that is linked in the document itself.

Official coin announcements are continuing. Each of these coins are supported on the Blocknet Protocol, making them ready for cross-blockchain dApps, and tradable on the Block DX Decentralized Exchange. We are announcing roughly one coin per day with the hashtag: #coinaday across our social media. The most recent recap of coin announcements that are ready for the internet of blockchains can be found here. We are continuing to build relationships with these coins, and are excited about working together more in the future.

For Superblock 451500, there were a total of 2 proposals to lower the Superblock submission fee submitted to the network for voting. The results of this Superblock are as follows:

10 BLOCK SB Fee — PASSED — 138 Yeas, 36 Nays, 0 Abstains 15 BLOCK SB Fee — FAILED — 73 Yeas, 101 Nays, 0 Abstains

The change to lower the Superblock submission fee from 50 BLOCK to 10 BLOCK has been implemented.

There are 12 proposals submitted for Superblock 475200. Voting will close at block 472320. An introduction to Superblocks and a guide to voting guide can be found here .

There is a great responsibility for Service Node owners to vote either “yes,” or “no,” on the proposals. It cannot be emphasised enough how much the community, as well as the Blocknet team, relies on Service Nodes to vote on project proposals to ensure continued funding for development of the Blocknet. Not voting could greatly threaten the project.

There is an emailing list for Superblock notifications separate to the Word on the BLOCK newsletter email and is directed toward Service Node operators to provide reminders leading up to the voting deadline. To subscribe to these notifications, you can sign up here.

Voting is now a great deal easier and much more user-friendly in the new wallet, taking just a few clicks. You can read more here or download it it here .

Many thanks for reading. We hope that you are as excited as us with what the future holds for Blocknet. A decentralization project fundamentally requires an engaged community, and so if you would like to help with anything, have something to add, use your professional skills or have a problem, we want to know about it.

Please also be aware that a community project is run by a diverse group of people with varying time-constraints (in a number of time-zones) and personal lives, so remember to be kind and patient!

If you want to be the first see these updates, you can receive the newsletters directly to your email by subscribing here. Our next update is due on July 15th. Until then we look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

The Blocknet Team.
