Flash Pulse — October 31, 2022
It’s feeling spooky out there Flash fam, let’s end the month off right… with a product update!
Last Week in Review
Development/Product
Oh boy. Well, y’all already saw it but last week we went live with our first (of many) strategies on Optimism. It utilizes Synthetix sUSD on AAVE to churn out some attractive and sustainable yields. Check the full tweet out here:
This launch was accompanied by a number of ongoing UI/UX fixes from Ben, and of course, all the amazing backend and smart contract work from Umar.
The third area that really shined this week, thanks to Steve, was the acceptance testing. In the interest of always improving, he has really stepped up to add a third set of talented eyes to help boost our final quality on everything that ends up in front of you.
Strategy & Marketing
Each week feels like we somehow cover more ground than the last. No idea how that is possible, but there you go.
This week, on the strategy side we focused primarily on long-term governance planning, tightening up how we discuss TVL, and finalizing the requirements for upgrading our strategy bootstrapping system.
On more of the marketing and growth side, you likely all saw a veritable flood of content, from tweet threads to graphics hit Twitter and discord. We’ve seen this bring new eyes, new energy, and great vibes to everything we do. Please give Ed a virtual pat on the back if you see him!
Still more though, we also had a few great business development and partnership meetings take place, with more to come in the near term. If you or someone you know would like to talk to our team more in-depth on Flashstake, now is definitely the time. Dash and Alex are setting meetings like madmen.
