Dear Community, the Idena Chronicles issue #72 is out! Read about the network stats, recent app and protocol updates, and community news in the new issue!

Dear community, two years ago the first announcement in the Idena official Telegram channel was done. That was two exciting years, with ups and downs, but we are glad that the core of the community stayed with Idena and continues advocating for the decentralized democracy and equal rights that we are building. Thank you for all your support, feedback, endless memes, and constructive discussions on all the community platforms. We always say that Idena is not so much the technology, it is the community that builds the decentralized and democratic governance model, starting from a small sandbox, and eventually - we hope - growing bigger and bigger. Let's see what the future prepares for us, and let's stay together on this long journey!
