December has been a fun month here at APEX Network, with both developmental updates and amazing community engagement. To celebrate the holidays we launched “The 12 Nodes of CPXmas” — a month full of fun bounties leading up to a big raffle with a whopping 500,000 CPX in the prize pool.

Our active and creative APEXIANs have taken part in all the different aspects of the holiday bounty program; writing letters to Santa Hu, tweeting about the freshly launched APEX Network testnet, creating stickers and GIFs, deploying testnet nodes and retweeting. Besides all the creative contributions, thoroughly enjoyed by Santa Hu himself, CPXmas also triggered the launch of a Global APEX Community Testnet! With consensus nodes spread across several continents, anyone who wishes can deploy a node and join the network, testing block production and validating transactions — spearheaded by community members Aldo and Iflion, and with APEX Grandpa Ben Alexander creating a docker image for easy deployment.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all the community members who have taken part in the CPXmas raffle, and are very happy to announce that the random draw has been completed. A total of 4502 tickets were accumulated by the community and there were 49 prizes ranging in size from 5,000 CPX to 20,000 CPX (Data Cloud Node). Winners were drawn from the pool via a random number generator and there was a maximum of one prize per participant.

Without further ado, we give you the CPXmas raffle winners — congratulations to all!
