INSIDE DFINITY
Many robust discussions are happening on developer forums right now. No new episodes of Inside DFINITY were released this week.

Canister Smart Contract has now moved to smartcontracts.org.
DFINITY released big Map PoC demo source code.

ICP Squad
ICP Squad has released an article on the Pre-Order process. Since there will not be a cap on the ICP Squad NFT avatar, early adopters are rewarded by whitelisting priorities and airdrops.
The more players in the game:
- The more market stability and liquidity the game’s NFTs will have.
- The easier it’ll be to attract involvement from all major Internet Computer apps.
- The more funds we’ll have to build out the game properly.
- The more exposure and engagement we’ll drive on the Internet Computer.
Read the article below for more details on the Pre-Order Process.
