We have first paying clients**\\n\\nWe spoke with a few potential clients, and some of them decided to test our ads with real money. Among our clients are Oku.trade, Smolrefuel, and Superscan. We haven’t made a lot yet - about $32 so far - but it’s nice to see that people are eager to pay for it.\\n\\nEverything is onchain so you can [check the contract here](https://optimistic.etherscan.io/address/0x2e78Fad843177343Feb2f1d5cb9699A061C59c06). \\n\\n**b. We had a talk at Devcon related to the mechanism behind the ad.**\\n\\nTim Daub (my co-founder) worked on laying out the theoretical foundations for the ads mechanism, and he consulted Matt Prewitt from RadicalxChange.\\n\\nHe wrote the first [draft of the whitepaper](https://github.com/attestate/ad/blob/main/whitepaper.md).\\n\\nAnd had a Devcon talk you can watch here:\\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjcP-P7q5mU \\n\\n**c. We shipped some small improvements.**\\n\\nWe gathered client feedback and made it easier to understand how the ad works, made it more visual, and changed the pricing so that it’s now cheaper to run an ad.\\n\\n\\n### 2) Driving growth\\n\\n**a. We organized two writing contests.**\\n\\nThe first contest was with Nouns.\\n\\nWe received many high-quality submissions from both the nouns and people in our community. This action helped us reach the Nouns community - we were mentioned in the Nouns newsletters, podcasts, and on their Farcaster channel.\\n\\nYou can read the submissions and learn about the results here:\\nhttps://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/into-the-nouniverse-writing-contest-results\\n\\n\\nThe second contest is still running, and it’s organized with Gnosis.\\n\\nThis one is based on the debates from Devconflict, with discussions from people like Vitalik, Martin Koeppelmann, Toni Wahrstätter from EF, Nixo from EthStaker, and many more. The idea is simple - you watch the discussion recording and share your opinion.\\n\\nYou can watch the talks and learn about the contest here:\\nhttps://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/arena-devconflict-writing-contest \\n\\n**b. We went to Devcon.**\\n\\nAt Devcon, we spoke with many potential partners. We can’t share the details yet, but the future looks promising!\\n\\nWe also did a DIP with Devcon where some users could get a free Kiwi Pass, and all attendees could use ZuPass to get -24% off.\\n\\nhttps://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/become-a-kiwi-devcon-reporter\\n\\n\\n**c. We improved the product**\\n\\nOur community member - rvolz.eth - built a search engine that indexes our 11,000+ links and almost 3,000 comments. \\n\\nYou can check all Octant-related posts and [play around with it here](https://knsearch.x4901.xyz/?query=octant&comments=false&sort=freshness).\\n\\nWe also added a better comments preview in the feed, which helped us increase the amount of comments we receive. \\n\\nWe also spent a lot of time improving the caching so that your app can work very fast.\\n\\n\\n### 3) Protocol hardening\\n\\nWe had some memory leaks in the nodes, and we worked hard with rvolz.eth to fix them. The good news is that right now, we have fewer bugs and problems than we had before. It's also much easier to run a node.\\n\\n***\\n\\nIt was a very productive time, and we put much effort into making things happen. Octant funding helped us a lot. So we do hope we can raise even more in the next Epoch and get more Ethereum community members to read and discuss all quality Ethereum content on Kiwi :)\",\"title\":\"Update: 3rd October 2024 - 29th November 2024\",\"proofOfWork\":\"https://github.com/attestate/kiwistand/commits/main/?since=2024-10-03&until=2024-11-29\",\"type\":\"grant-update\"}"}}]
