Quick note on S&S 500 Party NFTBooks
We are still in the process of formatting these prizes from our big 500 subscribers party a few weeks ago (and in the meantime, have surpassed 600 subscribers! Wow!)—an announcement will be made on Hive, Discord or both once we’re ready to distribute. There are still many people who’ve not given us their wallet address for this prize, so keep an eye on your Discord pings if you were at the party.
That’s all, for now!
We will add more to this post if new opportunities arise.
