Tezos mainnet launch, Ethereum Constantinople hardfork 2nd week of October, Cofound.it shutting down.
Congratulations to Tezos for moving out of betanet and into mainnet today (hopefully without any issues). The MakerDAO team will be releasing their multi-collateral contract on the Kovan Ethereum testnet today. More information released on the AION Token Swap for everyone that is currently holding the ERC-20 AION tokens. Currently, no specific date on when it goes live. Ethereum Constantinople hardfork has been scheduled for the October 9th. We will update on block number when it becomes available. As part of the upgrade, block rewards will be decreased to 2 ETH/block. The FOAM protocol open-sourced, decentralized maps launched last week and many participant cartographers have already placed over 1000 points of interest on the map. Cofound.it, alternative VC ecosystem will be winding down and giving back partial refunds on its remaining assets - setting a good example for other ICOs that have failed due to dwindling ICO climate.
