Been exploring @STRATO_MERCATA lately and it's honestly one of the most practical takes on tokenized real-world assets I’ve seen. ✅ 1:1 vault-backed gold & silver ✅ Seamless DeFi tools (deposit, stake, borrow, redeem) ✅ CATA Points for every meaningful action ✅ Full transparency via smart contracts & audits Now they’re rolling out Mercata Rewards — turning real asset activity into on-chain governance power. Not just speculation. Real value, real ownership. Feels like the future of RWA is finally getting tangible. bit.ly/STRATO0X2 TG: t.me/ wG0zod5xWc81ZjUx

Thank you to everyone who joined the EEA and @EYCanada on May 15th for our off-Consensus briefing on the Future of Enterprise Ethereum in Toronto. With @pbrody and @RedoudouM hosting, a special thanks to our speakers: - Alex MacFarlane from @KeyringNetwork - Victor Wong from @blockapps - Alastair Caithness from @AppBlockchain Carving out an authentic and unfiltered dialogue on what's next for enterprise adoption, spanning real-world assets (RWAs), institutional compliance, regulatory clarity, and Ethereum’s evolving infrastructure stack with a great networking session - a lot of critical conversations in the short time we were together. Connecting perspectives from enterprise leaders, policymakers, and ecosystem builders, the discussion included key takeaways from recent industry events, including the Nacha conference, DAS, and Token2049. We appreciate everyone who made the evening a success 🌎
