This is a phenomenal example of blockchain technology outpacing traditional alternatives. Kenyan farmers deal with climate uncertainty and used to bear all the risk. Not anymore.
Proof of concepts like this are showing others how to build new systems utilizing blockchain infrastructure that can have a positive impact on humans. #ThisisWhyWeCrypto

In difficult times or when crypto seems like it is under attack, we need to take a step back and recognize the advancement that has happened so far and will continue to happen. The saying “we’re here for the tech” is very cliche but in reality, it’s true.
In 2013 Dole had more shares available than they had actual shares. This issue can be solved by removing human error and utilizing the blockchain
Gaming on Avalanche is really taking off, as we see more games deploy and more major studio partners choosing to build Subnets.
@GamingOnAvax is poised to lead the way with some of the biggest names in gaming building on-chain solutions, here's some of the recent highlights:
🔺 TSM
Professional esports leader @TSM and their competitive gaming app @theblitzapp will leverage Avalanche Subnets to help bring 50M gamers on-chain.
Blitz’s Subnet will use $AVAX for gas, burning a portion of AVAX fees with every transaction made.
🔺 Gree @GREE_pr_jp brings decades of gaming expertise and 30M monthly active users to launch Web3 games, fund gaming projects, and run nodes on Avalanche.
If someone is running a "Layer 2" with a centralized sequencer, and they have a DEX on their chain, how are they not de facto running an exchange and how are they not in violation of the many regulations that govern exchanges?
There is a lot of drama these days involving "transaction ordering" on Layer 2s, essentially because the centralized sequencer places the centralized chain operator in a privileged position, opening the door to a lot of funny games to front-run users.
Various hacks and complications to dress this fact up do not change the underlying broken dynamic: there is a single centralized entity that is, in essence, determining transaction ordering.

You are lucky enough to live through a natural disaster, unfortunately your property wasn’t as lucky. Your house was destroyed, cars totalled, and years of memories washed away. Good thing you have insurance that will replace them, right?
You file a claim, then an inspector comes and assesses the damage. The problem? You aren’t the only policy holder with this issue.
In 2012, when Hurricane Sandy hit the New York area, it caused extreme destruction causing roughly $50B in damage and almost half a million homes had some sort of damage.
