BDP Community Commentaries 4/18/21

This is our fifth weekly installment of community updates. Our focus is on testing and launching the Data Market, so we’ll keep this nice and short.

Note 1: This is not a complete list of everything we are working on. We have to keep certain plans and details under wraps until we are ready to announce them publicly.

The team works 7 days a week. We are relentless.

Note 2: Keep expectations in check. A meeting does not mean a partnership results from it.
