💬 Yuliia’s Take
Last week was one of the most intense — and rewarding — weeks we’ve had yet. We officially wrapped core Wallet development, which feels like crossing one of the biggest milestones on our roadmap. Meanwhile, fixes and features are flying into GitHub faster than I can count.
It’s fair to say we’re feeling the burn a little — but in the best way. The team is pushing hard and staying sharp. We’re laser-focused on making sure every corner of the app is polished for production, and you can feel the pace picking up everywhere you look.
If you’ve ever run a marathon, you’ll know what I mean — that sudden spark when the finish line is close enough to taste, and somehow you dig even deeper. That’s exactly where we are: running on adrenaline, pride, and sheer determination 🏁

🔮 The Week Ahead
This week, we’re rolling out a massive Chat update — and a few of our developers are focused solely on that.
Meanwhile, others are finishing the final new features for the Feed and tackling bug fixes reported by beta testers. We’ll also be starting full Wallet regression testing to lock in stability and prepare for production.
It’s an intense phase. We’re digging deep to power through these final miles, and we’re charging at them full speed. These next few days will bring us even closer to the finish line.
