Gristle Crüe Community Call — FOAM 5/24/22

Had the folks from FOAM on today to talk us through what they’re doing and how to par­tic­i­pate. A pret­ty excit­ing project, and one more excel­lent “blockchain + meat­space” option to put on your Heli­um Hotspot locations.

As we move away from rely­ing total­ly on PoC/HNT rewards, find­ing projects like these ear­ly is going to become more and more important!
