06 Jun Symbol blockchain news update – 06/06/22
Happy Monday everyone! I am back from a long weekend thanks to the Queen’s 70th Jubilee celebrations and public holidays. Didn’t do a whole lot to celebrate but my son got really into it as he made a flag and crown last week at nursery and we haven’t been able to prise them away ever since 😊
NFT-Drive in English
It’s been a long time coming but the wonderful @RadioRa26841511 has worked super hard and completed his epic QUEST to translate the NFT-Drive website into English!
You can access the site here if you would like to know more about the project and get involved. There are some really cool features such as an illustration service where they will take a photo of you and then turn it into a custom illustration and convert it to an on-chain NFT. Similarly, you can buy an illustrated version of a scene or place and there’s a very cool service that turns a picture of your pet into pixel art. Obviously, you can also use the service to create your own on-chain NFT too. I hope to see more people using it now there is an English website!
I had a small hand in the translation (just tidying up the text a bit) so thank you Radio for the opportunity and for your kind donation to the blog! 😊
Peace for Ukraine
I think we can all agree that this war is absolutely disgusting and we are all desperate to see it end and for peace to return to Ukraine. It’s fantastic to see that the Symbol community are coming together to do something to help those that are suffering and I urge you all to go check out the website and give your support.
They are currently accepting artworks for display in the exhibition so if you are an artist and would like to get involved and get your work seen by a large audience then please consider contributing – you have until the 25th of June to get your application in.
If you lack artistic talent like me then you can still get involved in the colouring competition! 😁 Details are on the website but there are several pictures to choose from and you can get your kids involved too! All colouring book entries will be displayed on the official website and in the Cluster event. I think I will be giving one to my two-year-old to colour, it may not be very good but I am sure that he will enjoy doing it!
Safely Sign Symbol
So I have seen a lot about Safely Sign Symbol (SSS) recently but haven’t really covered it on the blog due to my lack of knowledge about the project. It is a browser extension that is able to safely sign transactions online without exposing your private key, thus keeping your funds secure whilst transacting online. It allows Symbol integration with other applications but other than that I don’t know a huge amount about it. Everyone’s favourite sunflower @HANABATA_KE has made a fun video in English so you can go check this out and download the app for free in the Chrome Web Store.
Lucky number 7
OK, I know we all want to see the XYM price go up but this must be a sign to buy, no? 😁 Twice in the last week we have seen XYM hit the 7.777 JPY level, I am not superstitious but that’s a lot of lucky 7s! Let’s hope we will hit the jackpot once the market revives itself and we see the rise of Symbol 2.0.

Thanks!
Thanks again for reading. I will be back again once I have gathered enough stories to report on – sorry it has been so sloooow recently! Sure that this temporary lull will be over soon and we will be back to regular updates again! 😊
I’m a Symbol and NEM enthusiast and run this blog to try to grow awareness of the platform in the English-speaking world. If you have any Symbol news you would like me to report on or you have an article that you would like to publish then please let me know!
