Business Updates

Incognitee Beta Launch on Integritee Network
Launching at the production stage demonstrates Incognitee’s readiness for real-world applications, providing stability, scalability, and compliance assurance. A production-stage deployment is crucial because it reflects rigorous testing and validation, ensuring the solution can handle live transactions reliably. Private transactions encrypt the details of transactions, including the amount and parties involved. This ensures that while transaction proofs are still recorded on the public ledger, the specific details remain confidential. Try Incognitee now here.

“Guess-the-Number” Contest Starts
We’ve just created a blockchain-based game to test the Incognitee features before it’s launched. How does it work? Participants have 10 attempts to pick a number from 0 to 10,000, and the ones who guess the winning number or get the closest, win. There will be weekly draws and, weekly prizes. This is our newest contest, and the idea is to foster everyone’s participation. Start now!

Progression of the TEERdays
The TEERdays campaign — launched in September — is now in full steam, and the numbers are looking good: by the end of October, we had surpassed 42 million active TEERdays, more than 812,000 TEER bonded, and 64 TEERday holders. Bond your TEER today as well and earn TEERdays. Bond here.

Ledger App support for TEER
The hardware wallet device, Ledger, now supports all Polkadot Parachains as well. Know more about it and start using it now. In this tutorial about supported wallets, you’ll see how to set up and use Ledger’s hardware wallet with Nova, Talisman, and others.

Cross-Chain Interoperability: Major Issues & How to Tackle Them
The issue of interoperability (and the lack thereof) has been an important matter for some time now. As blockchain technology evolves and use cases branch out much further than just the crypto world, interoperability has become paramount, especially when it comes to integrating different ecosystems and functionalities. Our article on cross-chain interoperability might come in handy. Read it here.

Community Update
In episode 21 of “It’s TEE Time!”, Waldemar Scherer and Sergei Medvedev shared a few updates regarding Incognitee, the TEERdays campaign, and more. They also answered some questions from our community. Listen to the full recording here.

Web3 Global AMA
Last month, we also participated in a talk by Web3 Global, together with other Web3 projects, namely Nimiq, Polytrade, Zypto App, Open World, OKLink, PawChain, and Bitcointry.
