SNX Updates: Two Items todayNote the following quotations are their words, not mine. I am just passing this on to my fellow SNX hodlers to keep you abreast of either delays or progress (I see it as both).
1. "Today (October 19, ~21:00 UTC) the Kaus release will begin, implementing a minor upgrade on both L1 and L2. During this release there will be no downtime on L1 or L2. Here's what’s included in this release: SIP-187 - Fix Partial Synth Updates In Debt Cache: Fixes an issue with partial updates of synths in the debt cache which is causing the cached debt value to not update after minting and burning sUSD. This release is called Kaus , which like all releases is named after a star (in order of visual magnitude)."
2. Also, the Synthetix folks "have been busy building the future of the Synthetix protocol and have launched our decentralized perpetual futures on testnet. All futures will be traded through Kwenta and to celebrate, we've launched a free trading competition for our community with up to $50,000 in prizes. The signup process is easy (you just need a wallet address and a twitter account) You can visit the Registration Page or for more detailed instructions, visit the Kwenta Blog. As a contestant, you will have the first public look at our new perpetual futures trading platform, powered by Synthetix. As the first truly decentralized and composable derivatives protocol, our perpetual futures are optimized by simulated liquidity, which helps ensure you get the best fill across any asset."
So, they have a few irons in the fire, which may actually be retarding price action for the time being, but in my humble opinion, an improved protocol will be a more valuable protocol. - TG-L
