Namada makes grant agreement with Osmosis

The founders of privacy-focused Blockchain Namada are trying to forge closer ties with the Osmosis protocol by co-financing software “public goods” and airdropping the planned NAM token to OSMO investors. Namada co-founder Christopher Goes said the planned grant program will support Cosmos-based Osmosis and a number of privacy-centric research and development projects that benefit Namada, which has yet to be released.

Interesting exit at EOS Foundation CEO

On the other hand, according to the founder of the EOS Network Foundation, EOS Network participants should consider taking legal action against major investor Block.one (B1) for “broken promises” about his investment in the ecosystem. Yves La Rose says legal action is one of two possible ways to hold B1 accountable for failing to make the $1 billion investment promised during the network’s initial token offering (ICO) in January 2018. The other option is a hard fork that would exclude the EOS tokens that B1 was holding in order to completely cut off its relationship with its former backer.
