Sprint #4 is wrapped up and includes a new page about what to consider when creating a new wallet, lots of content tweaks, plus a technical and visual polish of the website.
Sprint #5 is kicking off, and we’ll be adding several pages to the onboarding section, creating content for transaction privacy, and adding more visuals throughout the site.
