Neo News: Week in Review – March 18 – March 24

General Updates

Neo witnessed the launch of new memecoins with liquidity pools for the tokens added to Forthewin Network. Three new coins were listed on the non-custodial exchange, including Ape Coin and Schrute Bucks, released by pseudonymous founders, and The Hongfei, launched by Forthewin Network’s founder Ed. Ape Coin and Schrute Bucks tokens are paired against GAS, and The Hongfei token is paired against GAS and bNEO. At the time of press, more than 5,700 GAS in liquidity exists between the three new pools.

Frank Coin hosted a livestream to showcase the Pixudi and World of Elements games, and distributed NEP-17 tokens as rewards to participants. The stream attracted more than 70 viewers on-line at its peak. The Frank Coin team also locked the FRANK-GAS liquidity pool on Forthewin Network for 20 years, ensuring the LP will exist for that amount of time. Finally, Frank Coin airdropped 14,285 APE tokens to each of 42 individual wallets holding more than 2,000 FRANK tokens.
