We are thrilled to announce the Octopus Network IDO & development sponsorship for the Uniqueone.Network appchain. As we work closely with the Octopus Network Team on the Appchain, transparency towards how the project funds are being channeled is crucial. There are a few statements we need to clarify with our community :
-
Uniqueone.network team is building UoNo NFT Marketplace on Octopus Network in the NEAR ecosystem. The development is ongoing and team will work closely with Octopus Network to fulfill our potential as an Appchain partner.
-
UoNo NFT Marketplace is a standalone protocol which a culmination of our team’s multiyear experience in the crypto industry.
-
As far as funding is concerned, each protocol proposals are shared independently on a different post under the forum, but introductory post to UniqueOne.Network remains here. Uniqueone.network may propose any future updates on Octopus DAO (if applicable) apart from getting the community updated on gov.near.org - we are monitoring the progress here
