Hey Ark Community and newcomers,

The Foundry is looking for voters! We are still continue-ing our new voter bonus, currently 20 bonus Ark! The Foundry is dedicating time to organizing meet ups, writing articles and of course our outreach. We have been Ark delegates now for a long time, keeping our node up and running smoothly and doing our daily payouts.

Please reach out to me on Slack (yokoama) if you have any questions or are interested in the voter bonus!

Best,

Yokoama (The Foundry)

Hi Ark Community,

A small update from The Foundry. Our outreach so far has been going well. We notice with every recovery in the overall crypto market more and more people find their way to Ark and respond to the outreach endeavors of The Foundry. Currently we reserve 5 Ark for a new Ark voter!

Besides the outreach going well The Foundry will be attending consensus this year, so if you are there as well, come and say hi! We will be in NYC a couple of days earlier already to support Del and Biz with their meet up. Due to yoko's background he is able to reserve a nice event space in the middle of Manhattan. If others are interested in hosting events, please do reach out!

The Foundry will also attempt to become a delegate at Persona. Mainnet launch is close-by and we hope to make a flying start and set up a Persona outreach program as well.

Lastly, we do want to keep reminding people of the new ACF website: https://arkcommunity.fund/. Make a proposal or respond to a bounty!

Interested in The Foundry, do check our proposal: https://forum.ark.io/topic/501/actively-forging-successful-ark-outreach-program-yokoama-acf-board-member-and-tk0n-delegate-proposal-95-payout-1-for-ark-outreach-we-pay-tx-fees-true-blockweight-daily-payout-an-even-better-pool-for-small-voters

Hey Ark Community,

The Foundry delegate has also been forging at KAPU, a project using Ark blockchain. We'd like to share in some of the KAPU that we've been forging with the Ark community! If you are currently voting, please check our how you can apply for some KAPU: https://medium.com/@samuelzwaan/kapu-gift-for-ark-voters-905d009be46f

This is a temporary thing of course, at one point we'll be out of the stack we built up. But we'd like as many Ark voters to hold a bit of KAPU as well.

Yokoama - The Foundry
