Monthly Wrap-Up May 2024: Securing a Polkadot Parachain, Launching the Incognitee Test Campaign & More

The Integritee team took May to secure a parachain on Polkadot, and launch the Incognitee User Test Campaign, which was in full swing till the end of the month. We also released “It’s TEE Time” #16, published new articles, and worked on new tech updates. Check out all we’ve been up to!

Business Updates

Winning a Polkadot Parachain Slot
We’re excited to announce that earlier last month, we secured another Polkadot parachain slot! It is valid for period leases 18 to 24 — from September 25th until May 8th, 2026. This achievement marks a significant milestone for our team and will allow us to continue our work.

This opportunity is a renewed chance for our team to innovate, collaborate, and drive meaningful change within the Polkadot ecosystem.

Incognitee User Testing Campaign
We have launched the Incognitee user testing campaign! Our goal is to enable private transfers and unlinkable voting, so you can play away from the crowd’s eyes. We witnessed a decent volume of participation by our community:

🔵 Total moved between L1 and L2: 199,797 PAS
🔵 Total events triggered: 4’260, thereof shieldings: 969, unshieldings: 3’291
🔵 Number of participating accounts: 95

Those who participated in our campaign were eligible to win prizes (500$, 200$, and 50$ in TEER), so congrats to the following winners: @oblo78, @SFSndgPltnID2m0, and @PaoloCapacchio3.

Tech4Trust Accelerator Program: Integritee in the Finish Line
Integritee’s made it as a finalist for the Tech4Trust Accelerator Program! This is the final stage of an amazing journey that took us to interesting workshops, conferences, talks, and other events to showcase our tech and discover other innovative solutions by Swiss startups. The awards ceremony takes place on June 6, 2024 — if you want to join, sign up here.

Content: MiCA, DePINs
This month, we released two interesting articles. The first is about MiCA, and all the other regulations that will affect crypto transactions and projects from now on. If you’re interested in knowing all these changes, check out our article.

We also published an article on DePINs, the new blockchain trend amongst venture capitalists all over the globe. Numbers don’t lie and the fact is that using blockchain technology to create real-world solutions might very well be the next level. Curious about it? Check it here.
