BlackPool Newsletter #11

After a short break, welcome back to yet another edition of the BlackPool Newsletter, bringing you the latest news from the BP ecosystem. This week we have an update with a small recap of what we've been up to, starting with Lab announcements of Everai and MyCryptoHeroes, more investments on the way, fresh news from the CyBall front and the Sorare vertical continues to capture value.
