Torn in between ARTFXTION and SYNQ. I would love SECRET DATA, but that is my rap name.

just FYI: the vote count indicating the number of wallets is currently lagging behind.
dont panic if the number doesnt go up when you have submitted your vote.
if the transaction is on the blockchain, it will be counted.
update: it is fixed now! and we are past 1000 votes!
Teia, the first Latin American name in the crypto space!

Voted: NEEO! What a great name! LOOK👇🏼
• Abbreviation and play on Nihil Et Omnia, which means ‘Here and Now’ in Latin
• NEO also means ‘new’ in Latin
• Connection with Hic Et Nunc name history
• Suggestions of growth and movement forward
Lets go ORORORORORORO 
Nihil et omnia would be “Nothing and everything” which is good Latin but not a particularly meaningful idea.
It is ok but means “gold” in Spanish, not particularly happy about that.
#HENCVOTED GO GO GO TEIA ~☆🕸

The count is working again 1116 votes as of now 
But you have to consider the look of the name too!
NEEO would make a nice and clean logo which would be eye-catching! ORO too but the meaning of it is a disappointment!
These are my first try for the logo!

(From brazilian portuguese)
Feminine noun.
Meaning
From the Latin telam/tela:
Linen fabric, cotton or other material, made in loom.
Set of silk threads segregated by spiders and often regularly arranged: spider web.
(Metaphorical) Meeting of linked actions, such as in a network; plot.
(Metaphorical) Set of situations that occur in a sequence; series.
From the Latin taedam:
Type of lamp, used in open spaces, consisting of a piece of tar-plated wood, used to illuminate.
Synonyms: weave, loom, piece, spider, chain, fabric, cloth, plot, weft, intersection, crossing, tangle of threads, organization, structure
The idea of a connected web can be abstracted into lines and meeting points, intersections. From each point, you can trace any other, in a circular fashion. Therefore, by extension, it can be extended to the meaning of friendship, as the whole cloth is sustained by the interjunction of threads, a community is sustained by the collective efforts, everyone does his/her/their part and is essential to the whole. That fits very well a community who is building with a decentralized approach and that aims to maintain equality by valorizing every individual’s voice.
ARTFXTION is my Favorite out of the list
