Push Protocol Ecosystem Thrives: Exciting August Updates and Milestones

Hey web3 fam!

August has been an incredible month for the Push Protocol ecosystem! We’re thrilled to share some major milestones and updates with you all. Whether you’re already familiar with Push or just getting started, we’ve got some exciting news that shows just how fast things are moving in the world of decentralized communication.

Let’s break down what went down in August:

🎉 We Hit 100 Million Notifications!

First up, we crossed a massive milestone—100 million notifications sent. Yep, you read that right. Push Protocol is now handling communication at a scale we could only dream of when we started! From transaction alerts to governance updates, Push is helping keep web3 users informed, and this milestone is proof of how important notifications are to the decentralized ecosystem.

In August alone, we sent over 10.2 million notifications and reached 242,000 subscribers. We’re growing fast, and there’s no stopping us!

🛠️ Product Updates: What’s New with Push?

We’ve been hard at work improving our platform to give users and developers the best possible experience. Here are some key updates:

  • New Channel Creation Flow: Creating a new notification channel is now simpler and faster, with support for chains like Base and Linea.
  • Revamped Dashboard: Get a clearer view of your channel’s performance with our upgraded dashboard.
  • Backend Upgrades: We’ve migrated from AWS to GCP to boost scalability. This is going to make Push Protocol even faster and more efficient.

There’s more! We’ve introduced a referral points system, and we’re working on a custom delivery node for Telegram, Discord, and email notifications. Stay tuned!

🤝 New Partnerships: Expanding Our Reach

August brought some exciting partnerships, adding more power to the Push Protocol ecosystem:

  • QuickSwap now integrates Push notifications to keep its users informed.
  • CoinEasy incorporated Push Chat for better communication and UX.
  • Unstoppable Domains is using Push for group chats for major NFT projects like Africarare and Deadfellaz.

These partnerships are helping us reach more web3 users and make Push Protocol the go-to for decentralized communication.

💬 Community Growth and Events

Our community keeps growing! Here’s a look at what’s been happening:

  • The Push DAO has tripled its contributor base in recent months.
  • We hosted some great Twitter Spaces, including one with Wormhole to discuss our Cross Chain Request (CCR) feature.

On top of that, our founder Harsh Rajat shared insights on Push’s evolution on the Colours of Web3 Podcast. Be sure to give it a listen for a deep dive into what’s next for Push!

🎥 Push India Ambassador Program V2 is Here!

We’re launching version 2 of the Push India Ambassador Program, and this time, we’re diving into video content! Our ambassadors have been doing a fantastic job spreading the word about Push, and this next phase will help us create even more impactful content to engage the web3 community in India. Keep an eye out for the upcoming videos!

📈 BTC Tracker Channel Surges

Our BTC Tracker Channel has seen incredible growth, with a 160% increase in opt-ins from May to August, now boasting over 10,000 subscribers. If you want to stay on top of Bitcoin updates, make sure to subscribe and never miss a beat.

🔥 Lens Protocol Channel is Booming

We’re also seeing huge growth from the Lens Protocol channel, which crossed the 2 million notifications sent mark in August. This is just the beginning as more projects adopt Push Protocol for decentralized communication.

What’s Next?

We’ve got even more in store! Coming up, we’ll be launching:

  • Push Comm Smart Contracts for Starknet.
  • Custom nodes for Telegram, Discord, and email notifications.
  • Continuing to refine and expand Push’s ecosystem with new features and partnerships.

The Push Protocol ecosystem is thriving, and we’re only getting started. Whether you’re a developer, a project looking to improve communication, or just a web3 enthusiast, we welcome you to join the journey!

Bitcoin – Not yet ready to launch the breakout rally

Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has gone up by more than 52%. While prices have been strongly trending higher during the first few months, the Bitcoin rally has stalled out since mid-March. Significant milestones, such as the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and the recent halving event in April 2024, had further fueled optimism and created too much euphoria. Now, more than six months into a sideways torture, the end of the consolidation might be in sight.

If everyone started using crypto....

If, in an imaginary turn of events, everyone started using crypto like farmers, people who provide services, electricity providerd, internet service, water companies, people who own land and build houses on them and sell them providers etc .....to the point where no fiat needed to be used.

Government would basically lose all ability to tax....what stops them going nuts and an us vs them situation breaking out.

It seems to me that...if you buy bitcoin and have an "off-ramp" at all, you aren't philosophically behind crypto at all.

Where does this all end? The government being like "ye sorry we were so greedy and inefficient...however since you at least live in our territory, you need to pay X amount each year OR you're outta here"

Or 1. We all start using crypto 2. Gov gets angry and drives people out or adapts. 3. New "crypto governments" with with transparency and efficiency at the front. 4. Happily ever after. Everyone can more easily identify greed/inefficiency and we can co-ordinate as a species far better....

Thoughts? To truly get behind this movement should i grow food and sell for crypto, buy solar panels and sell electricity units for crypto?? Isnt that what we should all be aiming for, building all the pieces to form a self sufficient crypto society...not just "HODL"?
