Bonjour Melon friends!It is good to be back. Before we dive into the highlights of July, let's talk about what is happening right now: On Monday, we launched the second round of the Melon Olympiad: Naxos . We saw 20 Melon funds launched on the first day of this round with over $500,000 worth of Assets Under Management on the main net!What is the Melon Olympaid? It is a. In each round, participants will be able to set up their own crypto funds and test the Melon fund manager software on the Ethereum main net. Participants contribute ETH to the competition contract and will receive discounted MLN tokens in their fund in exchange. They then have two weeks in which the MLN tokens are locked in the fund. During those two weeks participants can either trade on the decentralized exchanges we integrated or do nothing and hold the MLNs. At the end of the two weeks, you can withdraw all assets in your fund.Are you intrigued? You can still register and participate until 24th August 2018. More information can be found here The first round of the Melon Olympiad (Paros) was successfully completed last week. We had a total of 26 funds and the managers were able to trade on the integrated DEXs. We wanted to thank all participants again for testing our software and the valuable feedback you provided us with.What else happend in July?
