?? @CoinDesk’s Consensus 2024 event is taking place right now in Austin, Texas, and is a real celebration of all aspects of the blockchain, cryptocurrency, and web3 community.

The piece is a great example of how our industry needs to use Consensus as a catalyst to improve its inclusivity, not for box-ticking reasons, but because web3 needs diversity of thought to make the technologies better. Keep your eyes peeled for more coverage on Consensus 2024 – it’s shaping up to be a big one.

?? Crypto gaming is never without surprises, and this week is no exception with the arrival of the first “tickle-to-earn” game. Built on the @Aptos network, the game saw players tap a screen to tickle a virtual cat, each time earning $HEART and recording a transaction in the process. Unfortunately, Taposcat can no longer be tickled with the project ending with total transactions of 323,477,478. What are your thoughts on this, um, mews?
