What’s Going On In Crypto – Aug 14th-20th

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Wondering what the next week has in store for the crypto world in terms of events? Look no further (actually, do – look further down, it’s all there).

SW DAO Enhancements

What’s the event?

SW DAO launches its bond offering, MATIC comparison asset and more.

When and where?

August 15th, SW DAO dApp.

What’s happening?

SW DAO, a fully automated investment fund, is releasing a number of enhancements on Monday:

  • A bond offering, which has been delayed by a focus on developing the White Label platform
  • Inclusion of the MATIC token as a benchmark token for its MATIC-based products, which will allow SW DAO to determine the relative performance of its products and allow the team to make more informed decisions about product development and marketing
  • Adding a “max” exchange option when purchasing a TokenSet product, which the community has been calling for, something the team believes will make calculating desired exchanges much easier for the end user and result in a better overall experience.

All three updates are scheduled to launch on Monday, with further updates planned for later in the year.

Stepp.App Mainnet Launch

What’s the event?

Stepp.App launches its mainnet.

When and where?

August 15th, online.

What’s happening?

Step.App is one of the new generation of ‘move-to-earn’ projects that reward users for walking and running. Fronted by Usain Bolt, Step.App has been in the works since early 2022 and next week launches its mainnet.

The mainnet launch brings with it delegation rewards, which allows the community to delegate FITFI tokens to validators and claim a share of the transaction fees.

Where can I find out more?

Head to the Step.App website for more information.

Unifi V2 Launch

What’s the event?

Unifi is launching Unifi V2 on the Harmony blockchain.

When and where?

August 17th (tentative), online.

What’s happening?

Unifi Protocol aims to be an efficient and sustainable blockchain, and has been active in the space since 2020. Its UP token is backed by a collateral of other tokens, and Unifi v2 is an attempt by the founders to make the UP token more sustainable, introducing five new ways for its backed value to increase, taking the total to six.
Additions include liquidity pool rewards, arbitrage profits, staking rewards and trading fees. A video explaining these additions to Unifi V2 claims that once the value of the UP token goes up “it can never go down”. Make of that what you will.

Where can I find out more?

The Unifi documentation has a page dedicated to the v2 upgrade.
