We did a couple of pretty gnarly upgrades this quarter, and thanks to the great support of SCRT Labs and the testnet validators, we kept downtime to a minimum, all things considered.
Support hours in Discord has been minimal, but always prompt, with additional support for testnet dapps in telegram from time to time, like now with Shade.
A lot of my hours were spent upgrading Figment’s learn webapp, which introduces devs to a variety of blockchains in a uniform manner.
Here’s a couple of screenshots, you can try it in gitpod, or run it locally. My preference is local development with LocalSecret, especially now when you have to update the secret.js version to 1.7 to be compatible with latest LocalSecret and testnet, both ahead of mainnet. Once mainnet is updated, I’ll also update the tutorials package.
I also spent some time and funds running a full node for Osmosis, so relayers can support Shade’s testnet, with one more server starting up for Juno shortly.
I’m running a relayer for Axelar ↔ Secret as well.
I asked for $26895, and thanks to an increase in SCRT price, I exchanged for $29,673 USDC.
There’s been fluctuations in number of validators participating, currently we have 8 excluding myself, with 1 down temporarily.
We’ve invited someone else to join, and will try to keep this close to 10 organically, so we have folks who will stick around long term.
You’re always welcome to reach out to me if this interests you, sometimes there’s a waiting list.
Anyway, all that said, with the surplus we were able to operate for an extra month, and still have $750 surplus going to the next quarter, after final expenses.
I’ll post a new budget thread in the next day or 2, it won’t change much from the last.
As always, let me know if there’s any more we can do. Thanks for the support.
