Avian Community,
We write to inform you about a recent incident involving our Discord server and the measures we are taking to address the situation and enhance security moving forward. We understand the importance of maintaining a safe and secure environment for our community, and we want to assure you that we are taking this matter seriously.
Recently, our Discord server experienced a security breach that resulted in unauthorized access to our server and twitter account, we deeply regret the turmoil this incident caused.
Upon learning about the breach, our team immediately took steps to transfer ownership of the server away from Craig and to a former team member as the hackers had banned all other team members. Craig’s discord profile password and 2fa were changed and account disabled. We reached out to Twitter to regain control over our account. Official announcement was put on telegram and on our website.
We have still not found the way the hackers gained control as Craig was using both a strong password and 2FA on his discord account, has Malwarebytes Pro installed and is vigilant about security. Also, twitter account information was stored in his password manager and not linked to any of his personal accounts.
We have taken the following actions to enhance our security measures:
1. Team owners:We have segregated ownership of all servers, discord, twitter, telegram, reddit, etc, to ensure no one core team member has admin access to multiple environments.
2. Third-Party Integration Review:We are reviewing all third-party integrations and bots connected to our Discord server to ensure their security and integrity. We will be implementing stricter controls and regularly reviewing the permissions granted to these integrations to prevent incidents in the future.
3. Education and Awareness:We understand the significance in maintaining a secure environment. We will ensure all team members are following best practices on how to enhance their personal security while using Discord/Social media. This includes recommendations on strong passwords, 2FA, and recognizing and reporting suspicious activities.
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Incident Response:We are implementing an incident response plan to ensure a swift and efficient response to any future incidents. Our team will continuously monitor server activity, investigate any suspicious behaviour, and promptly address any potential threats.
We strongly encourage our community members to connect with us on various social media platforms to ensure you are up-to-date on any team communications.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this breach and want to reassure you that we are committed to getting our server back to where they were for our community. The hackers did some damage by deleting channels and as such losing valuable content. We encourage you to remain vigilant, update your passwords regularly, and report any suspicious activities or concerns to our team.
The impact of the hackers' actions is temporary and will not detrimentally affect the project in the long term, we thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Avian Core Team

Dear Avian Community,
We are happy to share a significant development regarding the distribution of funds from our dev fund! As you may be aware, we faced challenges in accessing our 3 of 4 multisig wallet due to the loss of one key by a former member and another team member not being around for the other key . However, we now possess three of the four private keys, enabling us to gain access to the funds.
Our team has already begun the process of transferring a portion of these funds to the treasury wallet, which will facilitate distribution to our existing team members. This critical step allows us to reward the hard work and dedication of our team, ensuring their continued commitment to the Avian journey.
With the availability of these funds, we are now in a position to not only support our current team but also attract new core members to join us on this exciting journey. We believe that the availability of these coins will serve as a powerful incentive for talented individuals to come on board and contribute their expertise to help us deliver on our vision.
As we move forward, we remain committed to transparency, accountability, and responsible management of these funds. We understand the importance of maintaining the highest standards of integrity and trust in our operations, and we will continue to prioritize the secure handling of our digital assets.
We are truly excited about this opportunity to strengthen our team and propel the Avian project to new heights.
Thank you for your unwavering support and belief in our project. Together, we will soar to greater success!

Avian Community,
We wanted to bring your attention to an important event for Avian that is just around the corner - the first halving.
As you may already know, Avian operates on a fixed supply model, with a maximum limit of 21 billion coins. To ensure a controlled release of new coins into circulation, the network undergoes a process known as "halving" approximately every two years. During a halving event, the number of new coins created as rewards for miners is cut in half. This process is hard-coded into the Avian protocol and is designed to gradually reduce the rate at which new coins are produced until the 21 billion supply cap is reached.
The Avian halving is scheduled to occur on Sept 14th at block 2100000, and here are a few key points to keep in mind:
Supply Reduction: The primary impact of halving is a reduction in the rate at which new coins are mined (from 2500 to 1250).
Mining Dynamics: Miners play a pivotal role in securing the Avian network. After a halving, their rewards are halved, which may affect the profitability of mining operations. Some miners may exit, potentially leading to changes in the distribution of mining power.
Thanks

--- AMA --- :: Sunday 9pm UTC :: ourAvian Infrastructure ---
A quick 20 mins on how the technology being implemented on the VPS server and how https://ouravian.online/ is being deployed serverless... and how it's being protected behind CloudFlare's Zero trust environment.
The first AMA is now available on the above website. Details of future AMA's can be found in the ourAvian info channel 📢│info (DISCORD)
Just to recap: ourAvian is now a separate community platform. 📢│infoinfo will help you understand more but in short… ourAvian will bring everyone together especially for promoting the avian coin.
I do encourage asking questions so please post them in Discord: ❔│ama_questions
You are welcome to help develop https://ouravian.online/ website, or just make a few suggestions... all help is appreciated

# 🎉 Announcing the Launch of Avian NFT Asset Marketplace 🎉
Dear Avian Community,
We are thrilled to announce the release of our most significant infrastructure update yet - the long-awaited and much-anticipated Avian NFT Asset Marketplace. This update marks a significant milestone in our journey in commitment to enhancements!
The Avian NFT Asset Marketplace is designed to simplify the process of mining assets. It serves as a provided service, offering an alternative to minting using the core wallet.
Marketplace features two options of listings for unique NFTs, collections, or tokens/coins with a market feature.
We have worked tirelessly to ensure that this release is as smooth as possible. We've fixed any issues we found and tested the platform until we were satisfied with its performance. However, we view this launch as a sort of open beta. While we are confident in the stability and functionality of the marketplace, we understand that there may be unforeseen production issues. Rest assured, should any problems arise, we are committed to promptly patching them.
We invite you to explore the Avian NFT Asset Marketplace and experience the ease of mining and trading NFTs like never before. Enjoy 0% service trading fees! Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we look forward to hearing about your experiences and making any necessary improvements.
