During Q4, we began rounding the corner on several major projects. Audits, performance optimization, and end-to-end testing have filled the schedules of our engineering teams. New research is tightening the formal guarantees on the mechanisms of our auction, protocols, and the ecosystem they support. Reorganization of the operations teams aims to spark new efficiency and better support our products and technology in the industry. The broader economic headwinds of the last quarter have continued, but we have used this time to build and focus in on making the best products that we can, products we know the industry needs, and users deserve.

As a DAO we have continued to face challenges. Mounting regulatory uncertainty and partner hesitation led us to adopt a landmark KIP which streamlines tokenomics in the interest of adoption. I could not be prouder of the DAO for rallying around our mission in that instance, but I am disappointed, like I’m sure many of you are, to see innovation being limited by such factors.

However, as we go into the last phases of our product builds, we are putting all of our resources available to work to ensure that the launch of this new technology is a success. Our mission is more relevant than ever, and we are looking forward to bringing out our solutions and beginning to iterate, improve, and share our work with the world.
