CTG is a crypto social experiment that has drawn comparisons to the Hunger Games and Survivor. In June they were acquired by Uniswap Labs in anticipation of S3, which has still not launched.

Have you ever heard the story of the crypto product leader that gave out juicy incentives over a long period of time to cement their position? Neither have I — or anyone else, for that matter.

Rise Chain is a L2 attempting to develop a parallel based rollup that can reach 1 Ggas/s.
