A total of 3,629,600 $ARGO tokens are allocated towards this rewards program. Participants will be able to claim their rewards by the end of each epoch (7 days). Earlier participants will earn higher rewards. The rewards program will end after 52 weeks.

This awesome news went down pretty well with the community and we saw a 27% jump in our token price this week. We are back with some meaty numbers which might be a little hard to swallow with the recent market trend but we love the battle. We are fighters & we get up after every punch, we never stop, we keep going! Just a day into the post Staking life and our $ARGO rewards program have an APR of 500% on the Polygon staking pool & 292% on the ETH staking pool. We have a long way to go and we are prepared for every obstacle. With a laser-sharp focus on building a product that will act as a bridge for Web 2.0 developers to hop on the new decentralized blockchain-enabled censorship-resistant world, we are extremely excited about what lies ahead of us.

Perfecting web app deployment

Making blockchain easy

Our enhanced log streaming identifies any problems in the deployment, making them easily identifiable to developers. Easy error identification simplifies the work of introducing changes to the web app for a smoother user experience. The enhanced log streaming also acts as a feedback tool for developers, helping them identify a common source of error in their web apps for developers who run multiple deployments through Spheron (previously ArgoApp).

Developers who require constant updates for their web apps will find our enhanced log streaming tool quite significant. Its ability to quickly identify error points assists in maintaining a continuous impressive user experience. We hope to increase developer confidence when innovating through the assurance created by enhanced log streaming on our platform.

The improvements introduced in our V2 update are not our last attempt to improve the user experience. We are constantly working behind the scenes to ensure developers using our platform have the most accessible innovation and web app deployment solutions. As we improve our technology, we will pass on the advantages to our users for a better overall experience.

July was all about accomplishments

Big or small, we celebrate them all

This last month was as unbelievable for us, as the sudden comeback of Bitcoin in this Bear run. The four odd weeks for Spheron (previously ArgoApp) were full of excitement & accomplishments. From winning challenges to integrating our platform with huge protocols in the hosting & storage domains. We have been moving steadily in the right direction and the recent developments are just proof of our focus on building a decentralized ecosystem to make blockchain easily accessible for the masses. Our V2 brought stability to our ecosystem, both price-wise through $DAI token integration & product-wise through our architectural revamp. Our engagement rate has been high with our online community & we have started our weekly community call on Discord, after reaching 1000 members, which has brought in a lot of new ideas for our product team to ponder upon.

NEO’s Excellence Award

Our product has been busy building new features along with participating in the NEO Frontier Launchpad recently. It gives us immense pleasure in announcing that we were one of the 11 startups that were chosen from a list of 50+ participants in the challenge & were awarded the Excellence award. We will be using the winnings partially for our marketing streams & remaining on developing our community on Discord.

Newchip Accelerator

We were selected for the Newchip Accelerator program that will run for 24 weeks, giving us an opportunity to showcase Spheron’s (previously ArgoApp)capabilities on the global stage as well as learn the techniques of fundraising & networking under the guidance of one of the best accelerators around.

Rewards for the community

Our Argonaut of the week campaign has been well received and has helped us garner a good amount of attention on Twitter & Telegram, contributing to the high engagement rate. We recently announced our winner for the week starting from 19th Jul — 25th July during our Discord Community Call. It was a close competition between 3 of our most loved community members but in the end, we had to choose 1 winner with the highest number of likes, retweets & memes.

ArGo STATS campaign has also picked up real nicely this last week with the “Guess the Date” challenge. Participants need to guess the date by which Spheron (previously ArgoApp)will have 2000 users on its platform. The first right guess wins 1500 $ARGO tokens.

Partnerships & Integrations

We are riding high on our recent integrations with the well-respected & followed names in the blockchain industry. Collaboration is the key to success & we are not leaving any stone unturned in this area. Our target is to create a decentralized ecosystem with the best DSNs, making blockchain deployment a piece of cake for developers & bridging the gap between Web 2.0 & Web 3.0 users.

Engagement is high

So are we. Being high is so underrated when your community responds to you in a positive manner. We conducted a poll on our social media handles in July asking about the quality of our content & it gives us immense pleasure to share that we received a 73% positive response from the active members of the community.

The Twitter engagement has been awesome throughout the month & our engagement rate has climbed up to 2.2% which is great considering the market correction. We have managed to keep it up with 150+ tweets in July, generating 2.5k+ likes & 550k+ impressions in the month. With a 186% increase in Twitter Mentions, we are confident of our content strategy which has generated almost 50k+ profile visits as well as contributed to almost 1000 Retweets in this month.

What’s on the menu

Our plate is full & it smells fantabulously awesome

Time to add a little twist to this DIGEST. A little pinch of creativity is ought to enhance the taste of this month’s serving.

Help us decide the next feature that should be added to the Spheron (previously ArgoApp)platform so that we can become better than Netlify. Oh, you didn’t read the recent blog. No, we are not challenging anyone, in fact, we respect Netlify for being trendsetters. We are just disrupting the market and want to create a bigger & better serverless experience for developers.

Email your entries to info@argoapp.live and stand a chance to get featured in the next digest.

Join the bandwagon, the party is just getting started!
