Duners!

Time waits for no man, or blockchain. Just five shorts weeks on from the launch of the Dune Network Mainnet, we are already seeing significant growth across the entire ecosystem!

Development;

Stealing the headlines for Dune this week, are the impressive test results being seen by Ironmin! Originally developed in January, integration of the solution for it’s intended purpose was passed over. Before sending Ironmin to the recycling, the team decided to see how it stands compared to it’s competitors, and the results even surprised us! See them for yourself, here.

I can also exclusively reveal for you that “Collect Call Smart Contracts” are ready to roll out onto to Dune Network very soon! In an industry standard first, smart contracts on Dune Network can use a new programmatic method to implement token standard that allows users to pays fees in tokens, rather than $DUN! Watch this space for more details!
Preparations are also underway for the first Dune Node update. More to come on this over the coming days.

Media Coverage;

I can’t give away too many details yet, however, Dune Network will be appearing in it’s first full-feature podcast! The interview, with Fabien, is already recorded and should be available for download by Tuesday!

Community and partnerships;

While the team, of course, have stated many times that all our attention has been on building the product before focusing upon exchange listings, we cannot ignore the hard work done by sky.io and vgate.io. Thank you to both teams for listing $DUN upon your exchanges.
We feel it’s important to reiterate that both exchanges are relatively new and so, we heavily encourage all users to exercise extreme caution in using any third-party product or service with your $DUN.
It also seems only appropriate, in wake of these listings, to say another huge thank you to Crabby Paddy and everyone else who has helped grease the wheels of a smooth and efficient OTC market for our community!
