It is nice to see a company reaching out to the community to update them on a regular basis. It would be nice if Edgeless could do the same instead of me making these updates with limited information. I might do a comparitive analysis on Funfair and Edgeless in the near future. I have summarized Funfair's update. People who would like to read a full update should visit below.

WE'RE LIVE ON MAINNET! FUNFAIR'S FIRST CASINO
- Funfair is launching their own casino through a subsidiary and is currently under beta-testing.
- What was planned to be a four week beta testing will be extended to ensure extra features such as KYC and to have a more complete product.
- As a reason for running their own casino, Funfair states that "this venture will be used to accelerate our learnings of the platform and token ecosystem, giving us valuable insight into the life of an operator and consumer behavior."
- However, the core of Funfair as a B2B blockchain technology provider will not change.
- Funfair will announce their first B2B casino in a few weeks time.
- Whether this dual B2B, B2C model will work out in tandem with each other, time will tell. However, for the company this is a good strategy as a portfolio.
