Welcome to our ICYMI update from Week 23 2022. This week we’re attending Consensus 2022, reached $1.5 BN loans issued, and the Maple meme contest has launched again.

We’re at Consensus 2022

This week we’re braving the heat in Austin, Texas at Consensus 2022. On Thursday morning we hosted a pancake breakfast with friends both old and new to kick off the event, and enjoyed the conversations and synergies built.

Our Maple Bull caps will be added to the merch store next week so keep an eye out for the announcement.

$1.5 BN loans issued on Maple

We’re proud to announce that this week we reached $1.5 BN in loans issued. These are all visible on-chain and repaid perfectly, within one year of Maple. This milestone was driven by the recent loans issued by Genesis on Maple Solana.
