We're Back!
Apologies to all for our two month hiatus, but we're back and slowly getting into the groove of things once again.... for science!
Development
Rather than discussing everything that has happened over the past two months, we're just going to highlight the thing that everyone cares most about: Development.
Major Fern PR There was a major PR for the Fern update recently merged. Fern, as we all remember, is the major update that brings Gridcoin's codebase up to spec while also removing the team requirement. A huge huge shoutout must go to cycy for his work on this latest PR.
