 Hey Gitcoiners,
 </p>
 <p>
-Grow Ethereum, after two and a half weeks of intense hacking, is now wrapping up. We've seen some incredible projects -- from a 💩 game using Portis' Gas Relay to projects on Arweave's permawe -- and are excited to see our sponsors decide the winners. Make sure you post your submitted project in the Discord channel #project-for-kudos; after you're submitted, we'll send you a unique Grow Ethereum kudo you can proudly display on your profile! Thanks to everyone who participated. We're excited to share the winners with you all next week. 
+After months of planning, we're happy to announce that the next round of Gitcoin Grants CLR Matching is right around the corner. With over $150k of funds committed, we will be kicking off the matching process in September! Interested in Gitcoin Grants? Check it out <a href="https://gitcoin.co/grants/">here.</a>

-"Are we done with hackathons?" you may ask. Absolutely not. Coming up after ETHBerlin is our next virtual hackathon, Ethereal Blocks. This hackathon has $50k of prizes from Portis, Ethereum, Matic, Status, and more. Place your lego blocks towards a more open, transparent internet: and if you win, you'll get the chance to present at the Ethereal Summit on 9/15. We'll be dropping more details in the coming weeks. Follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/gitcoin">Twitter</a> and bookmark the <a href="https://hackathons.gitcoin.co/ethereal-blocks/">hackathon homepage.</a>  
+And yes, we have another hackathon we're proud to announce: Ethereal Blocks. Join us alongside Ethereal Summit in this incredible display of Web3 and more. Over $50k of prizes are up for grabs. The details live <a href="https://hackathons.gitcoin.co/ethereal-blocks/">here.</a>
