Dear Raven Protocol Community,

Thank you to everyone who has reached out. COVID-19 infections in India are at their peak. We have been doing our small part in making sure the country fights this, but we need to do more. As you can see below, both new daily infections and daily deaths have gone parabolic.

Let us take a moment to use this space and our voices to support the Covid relief campaign driven by Sandeep from Polygon. He has taken full responsibility in regulatory compliance. That is a huge risk, but he is standing up to fight for what is right.

We now return to our regularly scheduled program

For those that have been keeping up with our Github, you may have noticed some very exciting developments. It should also be of no surprise that the Raven Distribution Framework is recognized as blockchain tooling in the BSC Ecosystem! AI/ML compute is definitely part of the core decentralized web infrastructure and Raven Protocol is leading the way.

Development is always on-going

We have a set of libraries now :)

1. OLS
2. Kmeans
3. Minibatch Kmeans
4. KNN Classifier
5. KNN Regressor
6. Zscore
7. Pearson Correlation
8. Losses and metrics
9. Raven Visualisation Package
10. New Ops added

DAO / Token permissioned newsletter

We experimented with a token permissioned newsletter built on Substack and Binance Smart Chain. You receive access to private posts and networking opportunities directly with other investors/partners of Raven Protocol. All of which have a vested interest in making sure the protocol and distribution framework gain adoption.
