OpenLayer Update

Dear OpenLayer community, thank you for your patience and continued support over the past few months.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been working on a deep restructuring of our goals, roadmap, and overall vision. Our focus is on building something bigger, something that brings even more value and long-term benefits to both our users and the protocol.

As part of this shift, we’ve had to temporarily scale back efforts in areas like marketing and design, which explains the recent quiet period on our social channels. But rest assured, this doesn’t mean progress has stopped. Quite the opposite.

We’ll soon be sharing some major updates that we believe will be especially exciting for our OGs, core community members, and collaborators. Keep an eye on our announcement channels, this week, we’ll also be launching some community activities to have a bit of fun as we gear up for the big reveal.

Thanks for sticking with us.
- The OpenLayer Team
