It's Halloween and the crypto treats on offer don't come without their tricks! As we continue exploring the Tokenised Impact Economy together, let's take a moment to think about how we can stay safe and build a more secure state of the world.

When you Google this only gives you access to 3% of the Internet –proverbially the absolute tip of the iceberg. We mostly have no idea about what lies beneath. Blockchain and AI expand the attack surface of these deep and dangerous waters.
We chatted with Chad Douglas, a cybersecurity guru and White-Hat Hacker, to hear his thoughts about the threats and what communities are doing to secure us from the deep dark web.

Speaking of Hacking this is also about building and innovating! The Cosmos HackAtom hackathon was announced this last week and kicks off on 11th November for a month. This is going to be epic! This is the biggest HackAtom ever, with more than $1 million in prizes.
ixo has created the Earth category which challenges builders to connect with problem-owners to change the state of the planet by building modules, accessible apps and integrations for local currencies, self-sovereign identity, non-fungible impact tokens, verification oracles, decentralised impact exchanges, and earth intelligence data. Winners of each of these challenges under this category will receive rewards worth $50,000 and the opportunity to be boosted through the ixo Launchpad!!
Registration for hackathon teams is now open. Please spread the word!!
State of the World
We started our State of the World catalytic conversions with Chris Gee, when he spoke about the state of ESG investing, the great data divide, tokenising Hong Kong time-banks, and a vision for decentralised development finance.
These are all great examples of the real-world challenges and opportunities that can be tackled by teams in the HackAtom Earth Category!

Earth Landed
COP26 starts this week. The people are speaking. Polls show the rising demand for government action on the Climate Crisis.
As the tide rises, are we finally witnessing seas of change? President Joe Biden unveiled a scaled-down $1.75 trillion spending bill on Thursday that received applause from some climate activists for its potential to shift towards a greener economy.

Earth Markets
Here's the latest intelligence on the tokens and markets which are contributing to growth of the Tokenised Impact Economy.
Market numbers 📊
Big news in the cryptosphere this week was the rise of Shiba Inu, a meme coin with a slogan set a year ago to be the Dogecoin killer and now it has actually achieved this! One individual purchased $8000 of $SHIB last August. It’s now worth $5.7 billion and they haven’t sold anything. SHIB rose to 9th in total market capitalisation. Doge is at number 10. To put that into perspective, it’s worth more than LINK, MATIC and ATOM combined.
A bit worrying how people are seeing cryptos as a casino, but on the upside, these games expose millions more people to the world of crypto –this time largely driven by TikTok! So there's a massive generational shift happening and we see this as creating the conditions for the Tokenised Impact Economy to rapidly rise to the challenges of improving the state of Earth.

Token Analysis
This week, Romain Neboit analyses Avalanche and the $AVAX token, finding that this is an important next-generation blockchain and decentralised smart contracts platform that has potential to change the state of the world by being built for the scale and transaction speeds needed for global finance. He's bullish on this asset.

Earth Culture
- Bringing some fun from the lab have you seen the Osmosis DEX Halloween Hack?
- No one gets left out - claiming with nothing more than your set of retinas. Worldcoin is on a mission to reach mass adoption of crypto across the globe. They just launched a new global cryptocurrency that they envision giving to every human on the planet. And all one has to do is sign up and set your eyes on one of their silver Orbs to claim your share. Think about the cultural revolution!
