Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, Glorious Samhain, and Bueno Dia de la Muertos!

Forgive me if I've spelled Day of the Dead wrong; I was trying to be inclusive. <3 Anyway.... hopefully we're all surviving the bear market without too much impact on our day-to-day lives.  Personally, I'm fully immersed regardless of the market sentiment of the moment; so I don't actually know how others are coping; since I work in crypto, and there's few things I'd rather do with my time than be productive or innovative. But I digress. And, to be fair, the overall crypto market has claimed a rather impressive recovery over the past couple of weeks. Sure, things still look pretty bleak if you bought eth at 4k+, but for those who entered positions more recently (and those financially savvy enough to harness the volatility), things are beginning to show signs of life. But you've already gotten 18 newsletters this week that told you about the market relief rally; which you of course already new. So I won't waste your time in the obvious.

So, to move on to some news from our side more specifically; today is a pretty great day. Not only is it Halloween, it's also minting day for an NFT project I've been quietly putting together over the course of several months.  If I hadn't mentioned it in our previous mailing; 30-50 Feral Hogs is a generative NFT collection made up of 3250 (read as: 30 to 50) Feral Hog NFTs. Every Feral Hog is rare, but some are much rarer thatn others.,,, and few still are the stuff of legends.

Every Feral Hog NFT doubles as your memberhship pass to the Feral Hog Yard Club, and provides you with all of the Metaverse, IRL, and Web 3.0 benefits that are included with membership. Over time, the Feral Hog Yard Club collection will be integrated (specifics TBD) as a part of the $DOWN ecosystem, and hodl'ers of both the $DOWN Vault token and at least one Feral Hog NFT will gain access to otherwise unavailable perks. Find out more and/or mint your Feral Hogs here.  (website coming soon)

In other news, $DOWN is now (again technically) properly tracked on Nomics; on of the leading market data providers, as well as on Recentcoin, Dexscreener, Geckoterminal, and certainly a handful of others I'm not familiar with right off-hand. There's been some other rather solid updates to related to $DOWN as well. During this past week, we deployed $APESYN to serve as ecosystem rewards with "real yield" as the narrative goes.  Check the announcement post on Publish0x to learn more. It's possible I mentioned this in the previous newsletter; but since I'm not sure we'll pretend I didn't haha. What I mean is, the new $DOWN website is live! Believe me, it's a far cry from the "just get it posted" webpage we'd appended to my portfolio site; and it even has built-in token-gating features; which we're currently using to control access to $DOWN FM.( $DOWN FM is a community-curated Web 3.0 radio station available to $DOWN hodl'ers; who can also request songs to be added to the rotation, and nominate creators to have their art NFTs featured alongside the music player's UI on the $DOWN FM webpage.https://downtoken.wtf 

In more news that's $DOWN relevant; the first wave of $DOWN DeFi bonds will be available soon; issued through a bespoke NFT bonding mechanism of our own design. Each of the bonds will also serve as a collectible generative artwork; assembled in a similar manner to PFP collections, but with a wholly different style.
