This is to commemorate Nigeria's Independence day, October 1st and celebrate the DEFI-ance and hope of the everyday Nigerian. Nigeria's proclamation of independence from British rule on 1 October 1960 and 61 years on the everyday Nigerian, who inspite of everything thrown at him by the state not only survives, but thrives. Ohale is a partnership between two NFT collectors Choko and Obinna - our aim is to be the biggest collectors of Nigerian and African NFT arts. We also aim to help onboard Nigerian artists into the NFT space and collaborate with them.

Rocket Pool is launching on October 6 and is celebrating with a series of community crossover events. Here Rocket Pool joins up with Zapper, much beloved by the RP community, for a poap + raffle. Hopefully RP and Zapper will be able to team up for more events and who knows what else, in the future?

On October 3rd, 2021 Langers from the Rocket Pool team published the full audit results (https://discordapp.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163979141545995/894372662795731003). With less than 48 hours before the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet launch, there is nothing left to do. This is the clam before the storm. All systems nominal - we are go for launch. To celebrate this moment in time, the official "calm before the storm" POAP was distributed and the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet Poster NFT was officially revealed.

On 10/01/2021, the physical drawings of 5 VeeFriends will be auctioned off at Christie's. This monumental moment for VeeFriends will be celebrated by showing off this POAP on all platforms: Twitter, Instagram, Discord, and more!

This POAP was given to livestream watch party attendees in the Curio Cards Discord on October 1, 2021, when Christie’s in New York City auctioned a full set of Curio Cards for the first time.

Rocket Pool is hitting mainnet on October 6th after 4 years of development time! As such, the Rocket Pool community has organized a series of POAPs and raffles honoring communities that share a similar ethos to Rocket Pool. Many of us in the Rocket Pool community owe it to Reddit for the first step. This is thanks for being wonderful hubs of information about the decentralized future. A special thank you to the moderators of these subs for being forgiving to us RPL fanatics and an even more special thank you to everyone that has helped spread knowledge about decentralized staking. Thank you r/ethfinance, r/rocketpool, r/ethereum, and r/ethstaker.
