Kiwi News Recap #53: 08/07-14/07

gm,

today is the last day to vote for the best essays about decentralized social. so if you own a Kiwi Pass, it would be great if you read some of the submissions and upvoted the ones you like. every vote matters as the authors are competing for 1,200 usdc.

and if you want to buy a Kiwi Pass, the price now is high because we want to protect the contest from Sybil attacks. it should go down in a day or two.
