Monthly Wrap-Up: September 2022

Hello Partisians,

September was the month of the big launches. Of course, Ethereum had some minor news that a few people were talking about with The Merge; but Partisia Blockchain had some big news items of our own. We launched the Partisian Developer Program, our first Hackathon, and teased our upcoming collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross to create their own bespoke stablecoins!

Work we’re proud of:

• We announced the first details of our upcoming partnership with The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to build the first iteration of blockchain-based stablecoins with far better ability to track and deliver funds to ICRC-supported beneficiaries in conflict zones around the world.
• At TOKEN2049 in Singapore, we launched our Developer Grants Program to support great developers looking to build apps for a better world.

This month’s launch:
