Thank you XCH Weekly!
Happy Birthday, Chia! 
On March 19th, Chia’s Mainnet turned one year old. I don’t think I could do justice for what Chia accomplished this year, and luckily, I don’t have to because Chia dropped a blog post doing just that!
If you read one thing from this week’s newsletter, this should be it: Chia Mainnet Year One.
