Project Development Update:
DAO works continues
⋄ While a significant portion of the backend work for the DAO has been completed, it continues to be worked on. Extensive QA testing will begin in the near future for the backend code.
⋄ We hired a designer to start working on UI/UX. Once we have the UI/UX designed, work will begin on the actual user interface for the DAO.
Minor fixes and updates
Several minor updates are being developed at present time:
⋄ A utility page with a rewards calculator
⋄ Additional buttons on the farm page to add flexibility to the user experience. These are expected to be completed in short time and released.
Server updates and maintenance
There was significant server maintenance completed this week. This was needed to provide support to keep the validators running at full capacity.
Roadmap reviewed
The team recently reviewed the existing roadmap and deemed it fitting for our vision. Exact timelines of specific updates are not available at this time, but once we have a clear vision of when an update will be completed, it will be shared with the community.

Harmony Network Issues
As many are aware, there were significant issues with the Harmony network this week. This impacted the ability for users use any dapp built on Harmony, including OpenSwap. This also impacted the rewards created in OpenSwap farms. All rewards are based on Harmony blocks being produced; during this outage Harmony was not producing blocks and thus rewards were not being created. The issues have since been resolved by Harmony and OpenSwap is back up and fully functioning.
Validator update regarding producing OpenX rewards
The OpenSwap validators will not be rewarding in OpenX tokens over the next few days. This has to do with the fee setup for both validators on the Harmony staking site. While we reconfigure the fees on the Harmony site, you will be rewarded in $ONE tokens.
A quick refresher regarding our validator fees being listed higher than other validators. Our validators take a portion of the rewards and market buy OpenX before sending the tokens to the delegators. The fee structure is used to gain access to the rewards to conduct the market buy of OpenX.
OpenSwap remains committed to the community to constantly promote growth through DeFi. Anytime the validator is unelected, we will payout the missed rewards.

Harmony Grant Proposal Update
Many in the community have asked us for an update regarding the Harmony grant we submitted. At this time, we have not received any update regarding our proposal from Harmony.
OpenSwap is building a new smarter DAO. Successful DAO votes will use smart contracts to execute tasks automatically. This tech will be shared with all future DAOs.
