This week proved to be another great week for our useful tokens, including token burns, 50% gains, and major platform updates.

0xBTC
0xBTC this week burned their contract ownership, making 0xBTC completely autonomous and self-governing. This removes any single contractual owner of the token. Prior to this, the owner did have the ability to withdraw tokens that were explicitly or accidentally sent to this contract. This move is mostly symbolic and creates a truly decentralized ecosystem for 0xBTC miners.

Basic Attention Token
Brave announced there is a new version available for download, which claims 22% faster loading time, as well as Brave rewards beta.

Oyster
Oyster PRL had a monster trading week, trading up over 52% on the week, becoming a massive winner in an otherwise sideways market.

They have also been listed on CoinGecko, which is the 2nd largest crypto aggregator behind CMC, giving them higher levels of exposure.
