Opinions & Guest Columns
This month: Jonah
Thoughts
The Ironclad team has been following through on its product roadmap, and we hope to see a boost in Mode network adoption starting in the Fall.
Predictions
I expect the next few months to be a bit turbulent with the upcoming US election. My prediction is that things will be unpredictable. Although, if you think you know something that I don’t, then you can put your money where it counts on Polymarket.
And just as Ironclad strengthens its foundation, Bodega steps onto the stage on Camp L2, blending DeFi simplicity with user-focused innovation. With exciting collaborations and new initiatives, Bodega is carving out a unique niche within Cod3x.
