Welcome to the first Quarterly update in 2023!
With lots of things going on, the team decided to combine both January, February, and March updates into one Quarterly update.
The beginning of the year was very important! Starting with the great success of the OCIF Staking Public testing, the huge “It’s Grow Time” Community Sale Event, to the beginning of the InvArch crowdloan on Polkadot & DAO Staking going live on Tinkernet!
Let’s dive in!
OCIF Staking: Public Testing Event
With more than 9000 participants, 9 open pools, and 31 days of testing, the OCIF Staking: Public Testing Event was a massive success for the project! We saw great interest in the OCIF protocol and lots of new members joining our community!
Thanks to our devs, the whole event went smoothly. The team will use all collected data to improve user experience and tweak the network.

The New InvArch Network Token Economy
VARCH is the native token of InvArch & used to power operations conducted over the network. Such operations include but are not limited to on-chain governance to determine network upgrades & treasury management, minting NFTs on the network & establishing on-chain DAOs, and registering IP assets & deploying licensing contracts on the blockchain.
Recently, the team shared an updated vision of the InvArch Network Token Economy. The article reflects an update & change compared to earlier information provided. The old tokenomics were made more than a year ago, and since that time, the project has evolved and required some changes to fit the current network mode and ensure a strong and balanced foundation.

Talisman wallet — one of the best wallets in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem hosted an online event called Talisman meditations, where the founder and CEO of InvArch Dakota talked about InvArch, the latest developments in the creator economy, and intellectual property management in Polkadot.
“It’s Grow Time” Community Sale Event

OCIF is LIVE!
At the end of March, OCIF v1: DAO Staking went live on Tinkernet, In this version, there are two core features: registering INV-Cores & staking TNKR tokens towards registered INV-Cores. Combined, these two features are used to determine the distribution of TNKR funding dedicated to supporting creators on the network.
Within the first few days, more than 500 participants staked around 10% of the initial TNKR supply and are receiving approximately 40% APY as they support three DAO projects.
