December 2022
Summary
Planning, Building, Prepping and Running the Holiday Season Mint
December was an exciting month as we had our Holiday Mint. The Mint originally had 3 parts, but the 3rd part (lighting kit) was pushed to January due to team holiday arrangements.
Part 1 - "test mint" - Farmer Joe - Holiday 2022 version
Part 2 - NFT Partner Collaboration with Cheeky Crypto
Part 3 - NFT Lighting Kit - a non-compulsory bling update for the Bubblejetts and Javelins - postponed until 2023 due to market conditions
Our NFT Marketplace got a HUGE update and is now able to accept $COPI as well as ADA for NFT mints.
A huge update to the COPIWiki was done to add more gameplay information about the Land Plots.
We also had lots of discussion on how much we should release the Origin Story and in what format text/image/video - the next few months will show the outcome of those talks.
At the start of December we achieved the 63m ₳ staked milestone in the COPI StakePool from over 4,900 delegates.
