ARRR on CoinoSwap
$ARRR is now listed and ready to swap on CoinoSwap! Please note that CoinoSwap is a centralized exchange aggregator, but it’s one more door for users to access Pirate Chain as our reach expands. CoinoSwap and other exchanges and exchange aggregators are listed on the Pirate Chain Exchanges page.

Events & appearances
What matters most in crypto - The Crypto Vigilante Summit
The Crypto Vigilante group hosted an online summit on 12 September, the theme being "What matters most in crypto." The Pirate Chain team prepared a recorded presentation on "What matters most for ARRR privacy - Pirate Chain at the TCV Summit."
Daniel J started off the presentation with an introduction to Pirate Chain and why privacy is important. Lead developer Forge gave an update on the latest progress on the Orchard upgrade. Orchard public testnet should be available by the end of the year for 2025. That and other high-level information is available on the Pirate Chain Roadmap page.
There was also a recorded demo of ARRR transactions on the internal Orchard testnet using the Treasure Chest full node wallet. Amy V closed the presentation giving an update on the latest research and development efforts on recursive proofs from Øswald Kardingson in R&D. Amy V was also able to briefly attend the live Q&A panel at the end of the TCV Summit.
Lifetime replays are available at tcvsummit.com. There's a 10% discount for payments made with crypto (Pirate Chain ARRR payments included, as TCV is part of the ARRRmada).
ARRR logos at Liberpulco
Pirate Chain was also a sponsor at Liberpulco in Serbia, 4-6 September at the Liberland Ark Village. The Pirate Chain logo was seen at the conference on the VIP guest bags as well as on the nametags for all of the attendees. Liberpulco presentation replays are available on the website with a discount using the code "Pirate."
Privacy without borders: Pirate Chain x Meile dVPN
DaJohns and FreQniks hosted an X Space on Privacy without borders: Pirate Chain x Meile dVPN: how to use it, how to become a provider, and how to earn crypto by sharing bandwidth. Meile dVPN is a great app and you can pay with ARRR! Pirate Chain is also currently the #1 payment method for decentralized VPN service with Meile.
