Thrive Polygon Update: July 30th to Aug 5th 
First Contributions Up 
Just 3.5 more weeks in Thrive Polygon Season 1!
Last week, we launched our first two contributions that will help our grantees scale (Toaster Finance and Reddit Community Currency), hosted one Summer Series space (Gaming and Autonomous Worlds) and attended two others. In total, over 43,000 listeners tuned in! 
This week, expect to see 10+ new contributions from more grantees as we ramp things up to help them scale (find them all at https://thrive.polygon.technology/seasons/polygon-season-1)! We will also be hosting two Summer Series spaces – one on Digital/Physical Intersections and another on NFT Innovation. Our grantees are also getting plenty of time to shine – follow @ThrivePolygon on X/Twitter so you don’t miss out!

Social Media Buzz 
We had a huge week on X last week – a whopping 43,000+ listeners joined us over three spaces as we talked grants, web3 and the future of consumer crypto on Polygon. On Mon, June 29th, we joined Polygon to talk about a few select grantees. Then, we hosted our Summer Series space on Gaming and Autonomous Worlds on Tue, June 30th. Finally, we closed out the week on QuickSwap’s 3-hour “The Aggregated” show on Fri, Aug. 2nd featuring nearly half of our grantees!
This week, we’re hosting two more Summer Series spaces about Digital/Physical Intersections and NFT Innovation (at a later time to accommodate our frens in other time zones).
