LOTTERY

We have released a brand new lottery Dapp this past August.

$75,000 USD have been won so far 🎉 (764,400 SMAK)

We started off with 500 tickets at 1000 SMAK per ticket and recently lowered it to 100 SMAK per ticket for 200 tickets in total to make the app more fun with more people able to play.

Smartlink has burned 7,800 SMAK so far as per the Lottery rules: https://tzkt.io/onvRXfVMeeBEeWBFyACoipyWPsfueFiSNPFaheSgjiPirDHqqBa . Please note that the Lottery contract has been updated in order to change the ticket price, this is why you won’t see the prize and burn tokens for the Genesis round on the curent dashboard.

GOVERNANCE

The first version of our Governance system is on the way and will be undertaken by a dedicated team we have recently onboarded.

We will also provide the community with tools to submit their ideas and suggestions:

We are currently setting up an exclusive Smartlink Forum for the community

We are working on the voting interface to start off with our Council as soon as possible

There will be around 10 to 15 seats on Smartlink Council

Smartlink will initiate the process of creating Smartlink Council in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Smartlink will incorporate a community voting mechanism within its governance model later on. All the holders of $SMAK tokens will be able to vote on various governance decisions.

Smartlink Council will function as the primary governance authority of Vortex until the implementation of the community voting mechanism.

Smartlink New Website

We revamped the Smartlink website with a new face and architecture that is more in line with our vision and goals. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Check it out here: https://smartlink.so

New Smartlink Logo

We also freshened up our Smartlink Logo!

Our old logo has stuck around since the beginning of the project but its look wasn’t timeless enough to make it truly amazing.

Alongside the refreshed Smartlink logo, you’ll also see updated the wordmark, which is a fancy way of saying “the font used to spell out ‘Smartlink’” — it’s a custom font based upon “Montserrat Alternates” that we created to go with the new Smartlink ticker.
