The Crowny Quiz!

We recently had an exciting Crowny Quiz that tested the knowledge of our audience on everything Crowny. From our founding year to our name origin, the quiz was a fun and challenging experience for everyone involved. Join us as we showcase the highlights and see how well you would have done! 

How well do you know Crowny's founding story? 

One of the questions in our recent Crowny Quiz challenged our audience to recall the year when it all began. Join us as we dive into the answer and learn more about the history of Crowny.

As our dear colleague Inna hinted in the comment section, the answer to this question can be found on our website. Even though most participants guessed wrong, some of you were able to find the answer on our About page and submit the correct answer! 

You guys were definitely able to find the right information for the next question in our quiz. We were curious to find out if you guys know who the founding partners are, and you did!

Ecosystem

As a member of the Solana ecosystem, we're excited to see it flourish and expand. The passionate efforts of the community and recent developments are a testament to its growth.

We believe that this ecosystem holds a lot of potential for businesses looking to build decentralized applications, and we are excited to be a part of it. That’s why it’s always a celebration whenever a new project joins the ecosystem. This month, we gladly wished Helium a warm welcome to Solana!

As the ecosystem grows, our presence grows with it. Even though we’re still in our building phase we’re getting noticed time and time again. It was fun to see Crowny getting mentioned in this thread about ‘’Solana applications that can onboard the next billion’’.

The importance of our community spreading the word can not be underestimated. Last month, one of our most supportive community members shared his own vision of what the Crowny App would look like in the app stores once we’ve launched. We shared his visuals in our previous monthly recap, check it out if you haven’t already. Amazing designs like these will always be rewarded, which is why his Crowny Hoodie was a well-deserved gift!
