“Bolashaq” International Scholarship, established by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, N.

In order to ensure the full process of monitoring the education and employment of the “Bolashaq” scholarship holders after the completion of their studies abroad, Centre for International Programmes, joint-stock company was established by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan on April 4, 2005.

Revolt in Kazakhstan: What’s Happening, and Why It Matters
As protests in the oil-rich Central Asian country gain momentum, the events threaten to reverberate across the region. The protests were set off by anger over surging fuel prices, but they have intensified as people grow increasingly discontent about the suffocating authoritarian government.
What led to the protests?
Anger boiled over when the government lifted price caps for liquefied petroleum gas — frequently referred to by its initials, L.P.G. — a low-carbon fuel that many Kazakhs use to power their cars. But the protests have more deep-seated roots, including anger at social and economic disparities, aggravated by a raging pandemic, as well the lack of real democracy.
What do the protesters want?
As the protests have intensified, the demands of the demonstrators have expanded in scope from lower fuel prices to a broader political liberalization. Among the changes they seek is an election system for regional leaders, who are currently appointed by the president.

Vampire Attack: 6 protocols
Liquidity is the fuel that powers DeFi. As with most DeFi protocols, liquidity is of the essence for Enso Finance as well –especially at launch. The platform is thirsty for some fresh liquidity to power-up and take Enso to the next level.
Why are we doing this?
Our motivation for a vampire attack is twofold:
First, initial liquidity bootstrapping of the protocol. As mentioned above, the Enso platform only works with active users who bring liquidity to the platform from Day 1. This liquidity will help to further grow and develop Enso protocol into a leading permissionless social trading protocol for DeFi.
Secondly, we want to show the community the tech capabilities of Enso. This will be the first liquidity migration event simultaneously executed on six different protocols in parallel. Enso protocol is neither a fork of any of the protocols in question nor are any of their LP tokens simply being migrated to the Enso protocol; the underlying assets are being migrated. We want to demonstrate the composable nature of Enso Strategies where Strategies, Sets and Indexes can exist on the Enso platform and offer even more features than on any of their native platforms.
Enso Arcade
How will the vampire attack work?
You will be able to access the liquidity migration event through the Enso Arcade. Each of the six arcades on the site represents one of the protocols. In the Arcade, you will find everything you need to execute the migration.
Eating liquidity
Remember, there is a limited duration to the migration event — you cannot be sure when it ends so choose your timing wisely.
Got it, so what do I need to do?
When the vampire attack starts, go to the Enso Arcade (released tomorrow). Please ensure you use only official Enso channels, which is where the link is shared.
Connect your Web3 wallet.
Go to one or all of the arcades and select the Strategy, Index, or Set you would like to migrate.
Select the amount you’d like to stake, and boom, you’re done!
If you don’t have any Strategies, Indexes, or Sets yet don’t worry. Enso platform has built-in exchange routers with Sushi and UniV2/V3 to buy directly through the UI.
What’s in it for me?
Enso is very appreciative of its community and will make sure all early supporters will benefit from bootstrapping their liquidity to kick-start the Enso platform. And so Enso platform has three incentivization methods:
Gas Costs
Enso will pay the gas for withdrawing the underlying assets from the victim’s platform, creating the same replication of the strategy on Enso, and depositing the funds into the new strategy.
NFTs
When you stake a token from the victim’s platform in the vampire attack contract, you will be eligible for claiming an NFT. Claiming is only available prior to the migration happening, so you should claim yours as soon as you stake. These NFTs include some hidden gems for the future.

Native Token
Enso wishes to have a thriving community, and is incentivizing participants of the vampire attack with its native token. Distribution will occur after the migration has been completed.
And there’s more… but we don’t want to spoil the surprise just yet.
Who victims?
Enso believes by doing this attack, it help the strategy creation and index industry move faster through continuous improvements. Let’s not get bull run lazy 🦥… and continue building…please..

Enso Finance: Prologue
Enso Finance is the first permissionless social trading protocol for decentralized finance (DeFi). We recently completed our private sale raising over $5 million.
This capital will enable us to build the infrastructure that will pave the way for the next explosion in crypto: social trading. In time, traders will have infinite possibilities to create new strategies — including batch buying, yield farming, and metastrategies (more on this later).
We started working on the concept of Enso back in the summer of 2020. The concept behind Enso, the team, and the platform are driven by six core principles:
Do not rebuild #tradfi. Re-imagine it.
Do not build walled gardens. Produce the soil for entirely new ecosystems.
Do not take custody. You keep it.
Do not empower financial institutions. Empower yourself.
Do not limit integrations. Promote them.
Do not shill. Put your money where your mouth is.
1. Do not rebuild #tradfi. Re-imagine it.
Traditional finance is already well-established; we’re not looking to compete with them. Instead, we’re reimagining it by giving our users the power to create their own portfolios of crypto, replicate other traders’ portfolios, or blend them together for something completely unique. Your strategies will only be limited by your imagination.
2. Do not build walled gardens. Produce the soil for entirely new ecosystems.
Every other project to date has set limitations — or built “walls” — around their protocol. While many see this as a protective measure, we believe it is the opposite of what decentralized finance stands for.
Rather than a set list of strategies through whitelist integrations, we give users the ability to create their own composable strategies — with any ERC-20 token. We are building a financial playground where you hold the brush… where you’re free to create whatever you can imagine.
3. Do not take custody. You keep it.
Enso is a non-custodial, fully permissionless platform. You always retain control of your assets — your keys, your crypto.
4. Do not empower financial institutions. Empower yourself.
DeFi gives everyone the opportunity to move away from large, centralized financial institutions in favour of trust-minimized composable financial applications. Gone are the days of unnecessary middlemen and costly brokers.
We’re giving the power back to our users, letting you invest, create and earn a yield on strategies created by you or other users. The possibilities are endless — and they’re all yours.
5. Do not limit integrations. Promote them.
Currently, the DeFi trading landscape is highly fragmented; in turn, it’s become difficult to trade efficiently, generate yields effectively, or hedge accordingly. There’s currently no way to accomplish everything in one place. We want to create a platform where you can manage your strategies and assets all in one place, not become another gatekeeper.
6. Do not shill. Put your money where your mouth is.
The crypto community is filled with people shilling different cryptocurrencies, particularly on social media. What if there was a platform where you could see whether the people talking about it are also holding it? Like you, we’re always looking for the next crypto gem — and while listening to bold claims is great, validating them is far superior.
The Enso ecosystem will be characterized by trading competitions and social features, also strategists will need to deploy their own capital when creating a strategy, essentially putting their money where their mouth is.
