Welcome everyone to the Community Update newsletter. We hope everyone had an exciting New Year & enjoyed the holiday season!

This is the second installment of our Community Update blogs, where we’ll be discussing all the relevant news, topics, and events currently sweeping through the InterlayCommunity. We’ll also be diving deep into the behind-the-scenes action and taking a glimpse of the future for what’s to come!

An EVENTful year?
Whilst 2021 may have been a year of quarantine & self-isolation, there’s one thing that brought us all together, community. The DOTsama verse keeps expanding; with Kintsugi going live and Interlay not far behind, we’ve thought that the best way to give back to everyone is through some fantastic community events!

#Intersleigh
The recent holiday NFT event was quite a hit amongst the community, with submissions flowing in from a varied and talented pool of artists. With such a fantastic selection of work and the votes flooding in, it for sure was a close call!

The 3 Winners

Once again, a massive congratulations to the three winners of #Intersleigh!
