The last couple of months of progress around MetaCartel has been enabled via a BinanceX Fellowship. Thank you to the BinanceX team (Flora and Teck) for believing in us 
as well as huge appreciation 
to Yele from Binance Labs for making the initial introduction.
The BinanceX Fellowship provided $15,000 USD in funding support throughout three months from the start of July to August to September. In this post, I would like to overview the progress and projects that the funding has enabled.
