The Premian Take #8

4 min readMay 12, 2023

We’re living the aftermath of a very weird memecoin season.

The Premia is actively innovating upon Premia Academy and the Premia Blue (v3) trading competition, making both miles and bounds better than before. Worry not, all the delays won’t have been for nothing!

We’re also trying a bit of a different format for the newsletter this time around — let us know your thoughts on it in the Premia Discord!

Welcome to the 8th edition of The Premian Take newsletter. Subscribe to email notifications on Medium to receive all your Premia and market news straight to your inbox!

Here’s what we got today:

  • Premia x SuR: Participate in DeFi Fight Nights and get exclusive Premia NFTs.
  • The Gold Standard of Decentralization: Latest issue of Premia’s Governance Series.
  • Marty Options Talk: This time the crew was joined by special guest Jeff from GreeksLive.
  • Premia Blue & Premia Academy Progress: Sneak peeks and UI improvements.

Premia x Stumble upon Rumble

Moving in the direction of game nights at community request, we teamed up with SuR to join the fight for DeFi supremacy!

SuR is a completely free-to-play online fighting game built on Arbitrum.

Our partnership with Stumble upon Rumble is kicked off in a fun way for both communities — this week we had a test-drive of the game and got in the boxing ring for a friendly one-off fight between Premians in the closed beta version.

Watch out for DeFi Fight Night announcements in the future where you’ll be able to claim the status of the strongest DeFi community!
