Using economies of scale to empower everyone is what cryptocurrency is all about. [#excited_to] be one of the first to test out Project Gravity. 🦾https://t.co/bu4N1IoRmJ
Harlock was also announced, allowing the #NEM community to signal their [#support] for merging their protocol into the #Symbol blockchain, and making #NEM the underlying technology and token for the 'Creator Economy' on Symbol.

...and creating songs, stories, and fanart. @nftdrive_jp - on-chain storage for the Symbol network - and @QUESTofficial5 - on-chain tipping and bounty platform for streamers and content creators - was also [#launch]ed.
In the few years leading up to its [#launch], the community had pushed for #Symbol to be an enterprise-focused project, going head-to-head with Corda & R3, Hyperledger and Consensus, and Cardano and IOHK.
March 2021 brought about the [#launch] of #Symbol. Five years in the making with its humble origins in the hands of three anonymous developers (👴🐆🤖), $XYM was an [#airdrop] to all #NEM stakeholders and a long-awaited enhancement to the future of the #NEM ecosystem. https://t.co/jI9JF4Rd9b
This client upgrade introduces NEM's Harlock [#hard_fork] at block height 3,481,580. This is considered a mandatory upgrade for all operators. https://t.co/TktP9PYub9
In addition, the Cyprus hardfork [#burn]s all existing reserved development funds and post opt-in funds for #Symbol, and mints new funds. These funds will be placed in a multisig account, operated by @ValkyrieFunds and the core team: @Jaguar0625, @NCOSIGIMCITYNRE, @0x6861746366574.
Since its [#launch] in March, 2021, #Symbol has undergone radical changes in direction, moving from a focus on enterprise to a focus on a decentralized, community-driven chain.
Now, it's time for the community to sign off on this new direction.
