During yesterday's Community Alliance Program livestream, we announced two initiatives: one fun, and one more serious. We also announced another partnership!

1. Bloom Meme Contest

We're holding a meme contest! It's a great way for folks who can't afford to buy some BLT to earn some instead, and we are providing generous rewards for accepted submissions:

• 5 BLT per accepted submission
• 2 BLT bonus for high quality animated GIFs/videos

For more details on what we're looking for and how to participate, check the Medium Post!

2. MetaMask Security

One of Bloom's advisors, Brandon Arvanaghi, put together a great website to illustrate possible attack vectors against MetaMask, a very popular Ethereum wallet client. While enhancing the Bloom dApp user experience is very important for us, so is ensuring that our users know how to keep themselves safe. We highly encourage you to read the Medium post to gain an understanding of the different attack vectors available, and explore the interactive site to learn more about how the attacks look in practice.

3. SpringRole partnership!

The quick version of this partnership is that BloomID users will be able to use SpringRole to attest (verify) their past employment! It will be one way to help validate that you are who you say you are, in addition to verifying your phone number, government-issued ID, and all the other ways the Phase 2 launch will allow you to build up your BloomID and BloomScore. You can read more on Medium!

Thanks for reading, and please keep the questions & constructive criticism coming.
