SatoshiVM May 2024 Recap

May has been a pretty intense month for SatoshiVM: development, partnerships, and new communications paradigm. Let us briefly recap what has been done last month!

Development Updates

The dev team continues to work tirelessly to advance SatoshiVM. In May we have:

  • Integrated Runes protocol to our Testnet

  • Decreased transaction fees on SatoshiVM Alpha Mainnet

  • Integrated two more Bitcoin wallets: Xverse and Leather

  • Deployed the first LP staking pool on SavmSwap

  • Integrated OKLink to our official bridge

Runes Protocol Integration

Runes is a new token standard for issuing fungible tokens on Bitcoin that seeks to give users more efficiency in the token creation.

SatoshiVM users can now bridge Runes assets between Bitcoin Testnet and our Testnet. Alpha Mainnet integration will come soon after all the necessary testing is done.

  • Unisat

  • OKX Wallet

  • Xverse

  • Leather

  • Gate Wallet

SavmSwap LP Staking

The SAVM/BTC LP token staking pool has been deployed on SavmSwap - the first DEX built on SatoshiVM. Users can now deposit LP token through staking and earn extra rewards in $SAVM.

Communications and Marketing Updates

We have always acknowledged the importance of frequent and transparent communications and marketing and in May we started to take it to a whole new level. Here is what we have achieved so far:

  • CMO joins the team

  • New communications strategies adopted

  • Participated in Bool Incentivized Testnet Campaign

  • First AMA concluded

The New CMO

We have hired an experienced marketing executive to improve our marketing and communications focusing on strategic and tactical levels. The CMO has years of experience working in crypto and has been working on successful marketing campaigns for numerous tier-1 projects, including Layer-2 networks.

New Communications Strategies

We have adopted new strategies for our communications with the community and users. Core principles are as follows:

  • Frequent communication. Now we aim to publish regular updates on the SatoshiVM progress and increase our efforts to keep our community and users in the loop.

  • Transparency. We intend to be very open about what is happening with the network unless we can’t share the information for legal, regulatory, or other reasons beyond our control.

  • Being approachable. Core team members are now available for questions and feedback in Discord and we are establishing direct communications with the community

We are still implementing the strategies, yet the first results should be visible to everyone by now!

Co-marketing activities

SatoshiVM is working closely with various projects to launch co-marketing activities. We are excited to join a major growth campaign by our strategic partner, Bool Network: the Incentivized Beta Testnet Campaign. Bool will reward our users who used or are using our official bridge, here is the official guide on how to participate:

We have also conducted a joint AMA with Bool Network to explain more details on what they do, the nature of our partnership, and the nuances of their Incentivized Beta Testnet Campaign:
