What’s new in the week of 10/27/22–11/03/22.

It’s been a busy month behind the scenes at Saffron and we have a quick update for you on our software testing, a developer update on the Badger/WBTC vault, and a new KOGE initiative. Let’s dig in!

New Koge Bounty Program Passes

While we’re busy working on Saffron V2, we’ve put forth a proposal to help expand our presence on KOGE and help reward the community at the same time. Users will now be able to submit governance proposals of pools that they want to be implemented to Koge on the Polygon network for an opportunity to get rewarded in Koge and expand the token’s influence.

We’re rolling out a new initiative for the Koge community to become more involved. support their favorite token, and get rewarded in $KOGE all at the same time. For those that have a knack for identifying beneficial farms with low TVL, if you can submit a farm that you find to our governance proposal for us to spool up and implement into KogeCoin. If your farm has the highest TVL at the end of the period, you’ll be awarded $KOGE. While there is no maximum TVL limit for a farm, please only submit farms that have low TVL that would benefit KogeCoin as we’re operating on an honor system.

We’ll be implementing this as a trial phase for the month of November, meaning there will be four opportunities to win! This is an experiment to see what the community likes and doesn’t like about this initiative, so if you have suggestions or feedback you are encouraged to share it so we can refine this bounty process.

Saffron Software Testing Continues

It may not appear to be much if you’re unfamiliar with the process of software testing but I’m pleased to share that all of our tests are passing, which means we inch ever closer to the release of V2 as we’ll begin deploying test vaults very soon.

Developer Update

Turpintinz gives us another development update:

Hello, all. I’ve fixed all of the insurance fund-related tests this week. That means I’ve completed converting the previous Badger integration to now use Badger’s Aura — BADGER/WBTC vault (https://beta.badger.com/vault/aura-badger-wbtc?chain=ethereum) described earlier. My next steps are cleanup of the smart contracts code, some deployment and production scripts, and coordinate a review of the contracts.

See you all next week!
