Probably worth just posting this link explaining the StellSwap development

Sorry to be facetious slug

BLU - its actually potentially quite a big development as it opens up Pendulum to Ethereum and any EVM based protocol, but I agree - nabla and spacewalk need to go live which will hopefully initiate additional Dapps on chain and not forgetting Nabla also launcing on Arbitrum (An EVM protocol) then we should start to see traction.

When talking about these early blockchain investments its hard not to overstate the potential. Of course nothing is guaranteed some make it and some dont - but thats the calculated gamble for example my best investment last year was in Injective protocol which I bought around $4 and recently peaked at $40 - nice pat on the back for me but the real story is those that bought at £0.4 back 2022

Reddit page … lol

PEN token showing signs of sustained life - up over 70% in last 4 weeks :-)

Slug - this year will be different 🤣

Interesting read re cross border payments - worth noting that USDC 9Circles stablecoin) is one of the first stablecoins available on the Pendulum ecosystem

Slug - You make a fair point re roadmap - certainly behind on the schedule.

Slug - nothing like a bit of unsubstantiated speculation heh :-)

Did a bit of info re Dynasty/Googly.

When Googly launched earlier this year it was headed up by Shubhodip Pal CEO of Googly Media PTE Ltd

https://www.companies.sg/business/202133049E/GOOGLY-MEDIA-HOLDINGS-PTE-LTD-

However looking at the GOOGLY privacy policy it appears the company is now registered as Topspin Technologies Private Limited

https://platform.googly.gg/privacy-policy

And looking up the details of Topspin Technologies - it was incorporated in July this year there are three Directors :

Kiran Sharma

Devottam Segupta

and……. Matthew Lodge (Dynasty co-founder)

Looks to me like the possible merger is more of a done deal

Blu - within the Pendulum repositories there is coding relating to a’ EuroBrasil project’ - This looks to be a project to automate transfers between BRZ and EURC via Pendulumpay and utilising the Nabla smart contract - I could be adding two and two, and getting five here but the designated off-ramp account is Mykobo so it looks like there is a ‘real world’ case for this development.

Worth a read for those interseted.

Crypto Trends to Watch for in 2024

Well here is something to cheer about.

Spacewalk Bridge: Public Launch on Amplitude Now Live!

https://medium.com/pendulum-chain/spacewalk-bridge-public-launch-on-amplitude-now-live-2d60b4b51392

Nothing happening here until next year - try and de-stress and have a good Christmas :-)

Slug - believe it or not I concur ;-0

Its also probably worth mentioning the expected upgrade release of Polkadot v2 in early 2024 - without going into great detail Polkadot is moving away from the limited parachain leasing model to a more pay as you go version which will make it far easier to develop on the chain and substantially increase the number of Parachains as well as greatly improve liquidity on chain. All good news for existing Polkadot parachains.

BLU- if I may just add to your optimism re Nabla - one of the most exciting things is the potential for RWA(real world assets) Nabla aim to become an on chain exchange for RWA and if successful the possibilities are huge. For those unaware of this development this link should explain the basics.

Duke - contrary to slugs comments these international seminars are an essential part of the process.

India’s video game market is the fastest growing by gamers and revenue, which is forecast to reach $1.6 billion by 2027, growing at a 5-year CAGR of 17.2%.

GAZ - Please dont think i am questioning your integrity here you have always proven to be a very balanced contributor which is why i bothered to go back in the first place.

Slug - again thats R&D grant - not a loan.
