Lodge Letter #35: ElkNet Rising!

With just two weeks left in Q1, this is the calm before the storm. Plus: 75 million+ ELK have passed over the ElkNet.

Greetings Elks,

It’s the final two-week stretch of Q1 2022, which means there’s a lot about to happen as we deliver on our roadmap promises. The most exciting item of course is ElkNet v.2, which is undergoing final review as we speak. Look out for an article toward the end of the week with an overview of the upgrades, including an innovative new cross-chain design that we think will be a game changer.

There’s some irony here, since the site will initially look unchanged following the v2 deployment. Once it’s live, however, we’ll be primed to start delivering on multiple roadmap items and chain launches in quick succession: basically everything listed in the “Outlook for 2022” article, along with a few killer partnerships and integrations that we’ve been sitting on for the new code to be released.

But we get it. It’s hard to get all excited if everything looks the same. Not to worry–we’ve got you covered. Later this week, we also plan to push out the initial UI overhaul to the Elk dapp. We’ve been adding some final touches based on feedback from our Discord locals. Navigating the mobile app in particular will become much easier.

For a preview, take a minute to read the design manifesto from our lead designer, “Secondhand DeFi: Elk’s Bid to Fix Derivative UI/UX.”

Question: What do ElkNet and The Dude have in common?

ElkNet abides. As the overall market continues to crab walk, we hit a few major network milestones: 35,000 total users and 75,000,000 ELK transferred over the ElkNet.

Our Elk Birthday Jubilee continues over on Discord. Head there today for a special “Ralphel” (get it, Ralph + raffle…)!

We’re also gearing up for the Avalanche Summit in Barcelona next week. A bunch of our team will be there, along with the 3 winners of our #AvaxSummit Giveaway.

Planning to attend the Summit? Drop into Telegram chat and let us know; we’d love to see you there! (We may even have some swag to share…😎)
