Mello Token Special Edition Weekly Recap: Meet the Core Team! (5/4–5/9)
Hello, and welcome to a new week in the world of Mello!
As the title states, this is a special edition article where we will be giving short introductions for each of the members of the Mello core team. So, if you are a die-hard member of the Mello army and you already know everything that happened last week, go ahead and scroll to the bottom to learn more about team Mello!
We hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend and a lovely mother’s day…
First things first, Mello has hit 5,000 holders! This also means, of course, that today marks our 5th of 10 manual burns of 1 million tokens, bringing us 1 million tokens closer to our final goal of a circulating supply of 402 million Mello!
We kicked off this past week by announcing that we had finalized plans to integrate a sports betting platform into version 1 (non-vr) of the Mello casino! We also announced a special giveaway of an Oculus Quest 2 VR Headset! This giveaway will be live until the 29th, so make sure you enter as many times as you can before then! There are many ways to enter.. just click the link and follow the steps. Anyone is able to return every day to rack up more entries, so be sure to take full advantage of this opportunity!
Another thing that was informally introduced this past week is a campaign that we are calling Mello Labs. Mello Labs is going to be our vehicle for sharing our design updates with the community. For example, we released a render of what a slot machine in the future Mello VR casino may look like! (below)
There is much, much more to come in the next 2–3 weeks from Mello Labs. In fact, it just may be the most anticipated reveal we have ever had. So, as always, stay tuned for more updates!
A lot has been happening in the Mello world over the past few days and weeks… as you may know! We have a lot of news coming up over the course of the next month, as our true plans for both the short-term and long-term future of Mello are finally falling into place.
Behind the scenes, crucial processes are being carried out on the business and legal ends of things that we will be able to share in due time. Things are moving very quickly on the tech development side as well. We and our partner Gammastack are in the process of putting some finishing touches on the plan for the backend of Version 1 (Non-VR) Mello Casino, and we have made huge strides when it comes to the VR side of things as well.
Of course, none of this would be possible, and it would all be for nothing, if it weren’t for the incredible Mello community. We appreciate each and every one of you and sincerely thank you for your individual efforts to spread the word of our amazing team and lofty plans. Keep it up!
Without further adieu, here is some info about each of the members of the Mello Core team! Hopefully, after reading these bios you’ll be able to put a name behind some of the amazing work that you’ve seen since we launched.
Have a great week!
