Community Update September 20: Kickstarting the Arcbound Universe

Hey everyone!

Arcbound is amidst some amazing developments. With that in mind, let’s get this week’s community update off to a good start:

1️⃣ Dark Horse, the comic books publisher behind hits like Hellboy, Sin City and Star Wars comics, has already started sending solicitation to comic book shops nationwide for the first issue of Arcbound, which will be dropping in just two months, in November.

Actor Tom Hardy, who plays the lead character in the upcoming Venom: The Last Dance film, is working with superstar creators Scott Snyder and Ryan Smallman to unleash this space saga onto an unsuspecting world. Wouldn’t it be cool if the actor also played the lead role of Kai if an Arcbound film were ever made? Just saying 🤷‍♂️

You can preorder and check out all the cool covers for the first and second issue here:

2️⃣ But that’s not all, in the next couple of weeks, an opportunity for you to access exclusive limited items from the Arcbound universe will be unveiled. I won’t spoil the secret right now, but please keep an eye on the official Arcbound website and signup to receive emails to be among the first to learn about this exclusive opportunity:

3️⃣ Have you applied for our grants program aimed at getting developers to build on the Ethernity Chain yet?

Earlier this year, we proudly introduced Ethernity Chain, the entertainment layer on the Optimism Superchain. We’ve already partnered with key launch partners to position our Layer 2 blockchain as the premier destination for entertainment brands.

To further drive adoption, we've launched the Ethernity Grant Program, offering $10 million in funding to support visionary blockchain projects within the entertainment industry. If you’re a builder, now’s your chance to unlock success on the Ethernity Chain.

4️⃣ There will be no better way to put your physical collection in your pocket than with Fanable.

The collectibles platform is expected to launch on iOS and Android devices, as well as on the web, later this Fall.

And we are ramping up our marketing efforts leading up to that launch. We’ve partnered with comic book guru Swagglehaus to give away a graded Venom comic. To enter, watch his latest video here:

5️⃣ Everyone in the web3 space has been hearing about the Token2049 conference in Singapore. And of course, Ethernity has a presence there to promote our upcoming chain.

That’s all I have for today, see you in a couple of weeks!
