Kick-off

The excitement began with the kickoff spearheaded by Eric, our marketer, and Friso, our former intern. They dived headfirst into the Solana Breakpoint experience by attending the Claynosaurz event, one of the most popular NFT projects. During the event, the atmosphere was electric. Claynosaurz’s grand reveal emerged as the main highlight, sparking incredible excitement amongst attendees.  

Eric and Friso also had the privilege of meeting some of the great minds behind the project. In the image below you can see them meeting up with Nicholas Cabana. ‘Cab’ is Co-Founder & Creative Director of Claynosaurz, and an accomplished animation veteran. He has played key roles in The Suicide Squad, Game of Thrones, Jurassic World, Paddington 2 and more. Cab's extensive experience was evident in the insightful conversation we had with him.

Events & networking

As Solana Breakpoint unfolded, Quincy, our CEO, and Inna, Business Development, attended various speaking events. As they settled into their seats, surrounded by a diverse group of blockchain enthusiasts, the insights and energy of the various speakers made it so there wasn’t a dull moment. Props to the speakers!

With their knack for networking, Quincy and Inna seized the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals during breaks between sessions. A chance encounter with a blockchain thought leader sparked a lively discussion about the potential synergies between Crowny's vision and the broader Web3 ecosystem. These interactions added another layer of excitement to the Solana Breakpoint experience!

Food for thought

We decided to provide some food for thought in light of the event. Sharing insights into why revolutionizing customer loyalty is only possible on Solana resulted in great discussions during the events. Mission accomplished! In case you missed it: our software's foundation on Solana is highlighted, emphasizing why this blockchain is uniquely suited to fulfill Crowny's ambitious promises.

NEARCon

Another exciting event! NEARCon was amazing and featured Quincy as one of the speakers at the flagship event in Lisbon. That’s right, we went back to the city where we tested our beta app for the first time with a live audience! Great memories indeed. He expressed his excitement about the thought-provoking panel on reinventing loyalty in Web3 alongside industry experts. 

He later shared his NEARCon highlights as well, emphasizing blockchain's role in meeting the rising demand for transparent and cost-effective loyalty programs, and our vision for a unified loyalty experience.

BFCM 

Meanwhile, in the e-commerce realm, we delved into the Black Friday and Cyber Monday frenzy. Acknowledging Shopify's record-breaking $9.3B in global sales (up 24% from 2022) BFCM sales, we extended congratulations to our soon-to-be app store. In advance of the event we encouraged all Shopify merchants to optimize their strategy using our dedicated blog on Black Friday, Cyber Monday for Shopify to perform well during the event.

$CRWNY’s surge

In November, $CRWNY made massive maves. We started the month at $0.00216 per token. At the end of the month, our token managed to break the magical $0.01 barrier, even reaching a price higher than $0.011! Growing from $0.00216 to $0.011 is a price increase of 409%, in just one month. An incredible month for us, and especially for all of our loyal holders. Congratulations to you all!

Simultaneously, our platform awaits the final checks at Shopify. While we're eagerly anticipating approval, we’re already gearing up for the next steps, working on a sales deck to kickstart our sales efforts and further scale our business. As we await these pivotal milestones we're diligently preparing for the much-anticipated release.
