Happy 2019 to everyone! A new year is on the way, and blockchain is ready to move past 2018 and prepare for another amazing year. This week we look at projects that worked hard through their hangovers and made good progress on their projects. It was a little slow this week, but we are sure that many projects are working hard behind the scenes to make 2019 the best year yet for crypto.
