Ecosystem News

Camelot’s Proposal “Accelerating Arbitrum - leveraging Camelot as an ecosystem hub to support native builders” - is now live for voting. 

We are honored to be a part of Camelot’s grand vision of ‘Accelerating Arbitrum’ - a facility meant to support native ecosystem builders and existing incumbents. 

Buffer frens

Our participation in The Rollup’s mega-space has been exciting. We had the opportunity to discuss Buffer and all the different revenue streams and use cases.

Partnering with Metavault on Polygon was an important development. This is a great first step, and we see endless potential for scaling this model with partner pools on different chains.

Furthermore, we have shared updates on what’s coming next – an entire pallet of new features.

Here’s a quick summary of what to expect from Buffer:

• No-loss tournaments

• Buffer V 2.5 made available for public testing

• Limit Orders

• Early Close

• Premium features for traders, like copy trading

All these will essentially add new revenue streams to Buffer.

Community Space 

Trader of the week

We witnessed many impressive trades from our users this week. But one trader stood out with an exceptional performance.

So let’s give it up for the Win Streak of the Week!

The trader of the week actually managed a 13-win run!

• Trader: https://t.co/5zaWzmTek9

• $BNB/USD pair

• Using $BFR to trade

• 8520 $BFR in profit

Not only did this amazing trader manage a 13-win madness, but they also had a very impressive 68% win rate and 76000 $BFR in total profit!

Very, very well done!

Vibe of the Week

Buffer is all about the community. And witnessing traders on a roll is always inspiring and exciting. And a 13 wins streak is definitely impressive, so this week’s vibe has to be:

On a roll!

With this, one more edition of the Buffer Digest comes to an end. We hope it provided you with valuable insights into the protocol's activities from last week, and we trust that you found it engaging and informative.
