Marketing Update

Started to port Zenon.Org content into the new Nuxt 3 framework.

Zenon.Org has been approved into the Intercom Early Stage Program. Their systems will get integrated into the greater marketing mix.
A marketing Pillar named HyperGrowth has been spun up. All of its proceeds will be used towards the funding of development of marketing technologies and eventually campaigns.
Zenon.Org has begun the design of the upcoming web-based syrius.zenon.org funnels and wallet, which'll make use of the anticipated WalletConnect integration in the S Y R I U S desktop wallet.

0x3639 released two new articles in March.

0x upgraded the Twitter account @Learn_Zenon to a Blue Check in hopes of building a strong community around the handle.

Development Update

25,733.5 $ZNN was sent from an unknown address to an unknown address

In addition, he is working on PHP SDK updates, refactoring and optimizing some of the zenonhub.io code and getting the explorer ready for the incoming bridge and HTLC updates.

George submitted the PTLC PR for review. PTLCs still need more testing and client software. Kaine provided some feedback and George updated the code. He has expressed interest in an Automated Market Making (AMM) contract and dynamic plasma. !Wen Unizwap?

George continues to publish articles on Zenon Zealot.

Vilkris updated zenon.tools so APRs are now calculated based on the real QSR price from CoinGecko. In addition he is working with Sol on the UI/UX and code to implement Atomic Swaps in S Y R I U S v0.0.7.

You can test out the latest design here. It's inspired by Uniswap simplicity. Check out the video below if you want a design walk through.
