GM Architects,
In market news, the Arch Ethereum Web3 index increased by 14.3% during the last 30 days, opening discussion on whether the market has bottomed.
In line with its monthly rebalancing process, the composition of our Arch Ethereum Web3 token ($WEB3) was updated, with no new token additions and only a 1.5% reallocation. Chainlink and Maker increased their presence meanwhile Enjin, Curve and Frax decreased their presence in the token.
With the objective of building the Arch community in Latam, we went to the Ethereum.Rio Conference 🇧🇷. As a little token of appreciation (pun intended), we made a 1 $WEB3 token Airdrop to all conference-goers that minted the EthereumRio POAP 🇧🇷 👉 Check your wallet if you were there
