Finding rarity
10 November 2021
Rarity ranking When we released the explorers our mind was focused mostly on the unique combinations and narratives that can be built around each of the characters. While most certainly some attributes are rarer than others, the "looks" of each explorer is what we personally value the most and we t...
Halfway to the moon
04 November 2021
In the same way that Jules Verne aimed for the moon and ended up with 10k clones all over the place, our project didn't go exactly as planned. We are however very happy with how it all went, no little thanks to our awesome community (yes, you). In just under a week, we are the 5th biggest project i...
The story of THE EXPLORER GUILD
23 October 2021
It was a mild autumn evening. The weather was grey and a light breeze caressed his face. Jules Verne sat on one of the benches in the botanical garden, facing the lake. It was cold in Amiens in October 1895. The pigeons were clucking to keep warm and the ducklings were all out of the water. As he u...

Jude Nelson: App Chains
27 September 2021
Image credit : axopoa Blockchains don't scale. The fact that all nodes process all transactions means that the blockchain only goes as fast as the slowest node allowed on the network. If that's something like a Raspberry Pi, then that's as fast as the blockchain goes. And that's okay! The upside i...
From 0 to Sigle: The vision
20 September 2021
Sigle started as a side project created by 2 "buidlers" and we didn't know where it would lead us. At that time (in 2019), decentralised blogging was not yet a thing and there were no good 3.0 platforms to enjoy writing pseudonymously on a daily basis. Our goal was to provide a way for users to easi...
